Summary of the Conference Call for Shenhuo Co., Ltd. Industry Overview - The global aluminum supply-demand balance has shifted from tight equilibrium to a tighter state due to geopolitical conflicts in the Middle East, which pose a risk of production halts for approximately 3%-9% of capacity. [2] - The Middle East faces a bauxite supply gap of 9 million tons, with 64% of local production at risk of disruption if the Strait of Hormuz is restricted, potentially leading to a reduction of about 4.36 million tons (6% of global electrolytic aluminum). [2] - Rising energy costs are pushing up the global electrolytic aluminum cost curve, with European and American capacities facing risks of secondary production cuts due to high electricity and oil prices, supporting an aluminum price anchor around 30,000 yuan. [2] Company Insights - Shenhuo Co., Ltd. has an electrolytic aluminum production capacity of 1.7 million tons, with its Xinjiang capacity of 800,000 tons positioned in the top 25% of the industry in terms of cost. [2][16] - The company's coal business, with a capacity of 8.55 million tons, is expected to achieve profits of 300-400 million yuan by 2026, creating a positive cycle between coal and aluminum operations. [2] - The estimated PE ratio for Shenhuo Co., Ltd. is approximately 7.8 times based on an aluminum price of 25,000 yuan, indicating it is at the lower end of the industry valuation spectrum, with a profit expectation of 10 billion yuan in 2026. [2][20] Geopolitical Impact - The potential closure of the Strait of Hormuz has made the energy supply chain and electrolytic aluminum supply chain risks more apparent, leading to direct supply contractions and increased costs. [3] - Recent announcements of production halts include Qatar Aluminum's planned shutdown of 640,000 tons and Bahrain Aluminum's declaration of force majeure affecting 1.6 million tons. [4] - If the Strait of Hormuz is blocked, the Middle East's self-sufficient bauxite can only support 36% of local electrolytic aluminum production, leading to a potential reduction of 4.36 million tons, which could escalate to 9% of global capacity if further geopolitical tensions arise. [5][9] Market Dynamics - The demand for aluminum is closely tied to global GDP, with historical data suggesting that demand elasticity is weaker than supply shocks. [7] - Current supply disruptions are estimated to be around 4%-9%, with the potential for further escalation depending on geopolitical developments. [12] - The aluminum price is expected to stabilize around 30,000 yuan if production disruptions persist longer than anticipated. [8] Financial Performance and Valuation - Shenhuo Co., Ltd. is currently valued at approximately 79.7 billion yuan, with a PE ratio around 8.3 times, indicating it is near the lower end of the valuation range for the electrolytic aluminum sector. [20] - The company has a strong potential for dividends and low capital expenditure pressure, with a projected profit of 10 billion yuan in 2026 if aluminum prices remain high. [21] Risks and Recommendations - The main risks include the potential escalation of overseas conflicts and supply chain disruptions. [23][24] - The recommendation is to gradually accumulate shares of Shenhuo Co., Ltd. within the "coal-aluminum synergy" framework, as it shows strong upward elasticity and defensive attributes against downturns. [23]

1. Report Information - Report Title: Aluminum Daily Report [1] - Date: March 6, 2026 [2] - Research Team: Non-ferrous Metals Research Team [3] - Researchers: Yu Feifei, Zhang Ping, Peng Jinglin [3] 2. Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 3. Core View - The recent rise in aluminum prices is mainly due to overseas supply disruptions. The conflict in the Middle East has led to potential supply shortages, with about 9% of global aluminum production capacity and over 4.5 million tons of export trade potentially affected. This supports the strong performance of aluminum prices. However, the market is also affected by the war's high uncertainty. It is recommended to participate with low long positions and focus on the development of the US-Iran conflict and the duration of the Strait of Hormuz blockade [7]. 4. Summary by Section 4.1 Market Review and Operation Suggestions - On the evening of the 4th, Bahrain Aluminium announced that a sudden force majeure event would affect the fulfillment of its supply contracts. This news stimulated LME aluminum to rise sharply to $3418 per ton, a new high since the Russia-Ukraine conflict, driving up domestic aluminum prices. On the 5th, the main contract of SHFE aluminum 2604 reached a maximum of 25,520 yuan per ton, with a gain of over 4%. In the late session, Iran stated that it had not blocked the Strait of Hormuz, and funds reduced positions, causing the price to fall back to 24,815 yuan per ton, with the gain narrowing to 1.31%. The total open interest increased by 15,000 lots to 703,500 lots [7]. - The recent rise is mainly due to overseas supply disruptions, with LME aluminum consistently stronger than SHFE aluminum. The theoretical loss of spot imports at the closing has expanded to over -3,270 yuan per ton. Alumina prices are fluctuating narrowly around 2,800 yuan, and the oversupply situation has not been reversed. If Middle - Eastern alumina imports are blocked, it may be redirected to the domestic market, putting pressure on domestic spot prices [7]. - Bahrain Aluminium produced 1.622 million tons of aluminum in 2025 and is currently maintaining production. However, due to the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, aluminum ingots cannot be delivered normally. The demand side is in the transition period between the off - season and peak season, with domestic and overseas inventory trends diverging. Domestic inventory has rapidly increased to 1.25 million tons, while LME inventory has dropped to 461,000 tons, highlighting the pattern of strong overseas and weak domestic markets [7]. 4.2 Industry News - Rio Tinto Group will reduce the production of its Yarwun alumina refinery in Australia by 40% starting from October 2026 to extend the plant's operation life to 2035 and explore further life - extension and modernization plans. This decision will reduce the annual alumina production by about 1.2 million tons and affect about 180 jobs at the refinery. Currently, the refinery has about 725 employees and an annual alumina production of about 3 million tons [9][10]. - National Aluminium Company (Nalco) of India plans to start mining the Pottangi bauxite mine in Odisha in June 2026 to support its integrated aluminum business expansion. The company has awarded the development and operation rights of the mine to Dilip Buildcon Ltd.

Core Viewpoint - The ongoing conflict between the U.S. and Iran is significantly impacting the aluminum supply chain in the Middle East, leading to increased aluminum prices and potential production disruptions in the region [1][2]. Group 1: Event Summary - Qatar Aluminum and Bahrain Aluminum announced force majeure due to the conflict, with annual production capacities of 636,000 tons and 1.62 million tons, respectively, accounting for 0.8% and 2.0% of global production [1]. - Following these announcements, LME aluminum prices surged, increasing by 2.5% on March 3 and reaching a peak of $3,418 per ton on March 4, the highest since 2022 [1].
