Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Core Viewpoints - For PTA, with an increase in unexpected maintenance, continuous recovery of polyester开工 and relatively healthy inventory, there is still room for load - up. The supply of raw material PX is gradually returning, and the near - term supply - demand pattern of TA is expected to continue to improve. Attention should be paid to the opportunity of expanding processing fees at low prices and the restart progress of Hengli Huizhou [2][3][7] - For MEG, the near - term domestic oil - based restart and a slight decline in coal - based开工 lead to an overall increase in load. With a decline in arrivals and stable shipments during the week, port inventory is decreasing. The downstream stocking level is stable, the basis is strongly maintained, and the profit - to - price ratio is basically stable month - on - month. In the future, although the EG开工 has risen to a relatively high level, port inventory is expected to remain low in the short term due to fewer arrivals. The pattern is good and the profit is not low. In the far - month, there is an expectation of inventory accumulation with the return of maintenance and the commissioning of new devices, but the valuation is greatly affected by the subsequent evolution of the cost side, and it should be regarded as a wide - range shock. Attention should be paid to the restart progress of Satellite and Xinrun [7] - For polyester staple fiber, the开工 of near - end Chuzhou Xingbang and Ningbo Zhuocheng has increased slightly to 91.9%, the production and sales are basically stable, and the inventory has decreased month - on - month. On the demand side, the开工 of polyester yarn has increased, raw material stocking has increased, and finished product inventory has continued to decrease, but the profit is weak. In the future, as the inventory reduction speed of polyester yarn finished products has accelerated, the stocking demand has emerged. The开工 of staple fiber remains high but has not increased significantly. With the continuation of inventory reduction, attention should be paid to the opportunity of expanding processing fees at low prices [7] - For natural rubber and 20 - number rubber, the main contradiction is that the national explicit inventory is stable, the absolute level is not high, but there is no seasonal inventory reduction, and the price of Thai cup rubber has rebounded due to rainfall affecting rubber tapping. The strategy is to wait and see [7] Summary by Related Catalogs PTA - **Price and Index Changes**: From August 19 to August 25, 2025, crude oil rose from 65.8 to 68.8, PTA internal spot goods rose from 4690 to 4850, and PTA processing difference rose from 128 to 175. The daily average transaction basis of PTA spot is 2509(+22). The new 1.6 - million - ton line of Sanfangxiang's new device has been put into production [2] - **Market Situation**: With an increase in unexpected near - end TA maintenance, the开工 has decreased significantly.

The downstream polyester yarn end has seen an increase in开工, an increase in raw material stocking, and a continuous decrease in finished product inventory, but the profit is weak [7] Natural Rubber & 20 - number Rubber - **Price and Index Changes**: From August 19 to August 25, 2025, the price of US - dollar Thai standard spot remained at 1790, and the price of Shanghai full - latex decreased from 14680 to 14470. The weekly change of RU main contract was 85, and the weekly change of NR main contract was 135 [7] - **Market Situation**: The national explicit inventory is stable, the absolute level is not high, but there is no seasonal inventory reduction.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - "Anti - involution" related convertible bonds are cost - effective absolute - return assets. The position and bond selection of "anti - involution" sector convertible bonds are the "decisive factors" for the future market due to three reasons: large capital capacity, high cost - performance of underlying stocks, and low bond prices with debt - bottom value support [1][9]. - Five convertible bonds are recommended: Youfa Convertible Bond, Wankai Convertible Bond, Keshun Convertible Bond, Feng 22 Convertible Bond, and Tian 23 Convertible Bond [3][11]. 3. Summary According to the Directory 3.1 Overall Logic and Layout Ideas - **Large capital capacity**: "Anti - involution" sector has a large number of convertible bonds. Industries such as power equipment and basic chemicals have many convertible bonds in existence. If "anti - involution" progresses beyond expectations, it may drive up the underlying stocks and the convertible bond index [1][9]. - **High cost - performance of underlying stocks**: Some industries' underlying stocks, like those in steel, basic chemicals, and power equipment, are under pressure. But "anti - involution" may improve supply - demand, and the leading enterprises may have stronger profit elasticity after industry clearance. Also, the stock prices are low, so there is potential for valuation repair [2][10]. - **Low bond prices with debt - bottom value support**: Most "anti - involution" related convertible bonds have conversion values below 120 yuan, and many are in the 60 - 90 yuan and 90 - 120 yuan ranges. Debt - type/balanced convertible bonds have better debt - bottom protection, suitable for absolute - return funds [2][10]. 3.2 Individual Bond Selection 3.2.1 Youfa Group/Youfa Convertible Bond - Youfa Group is the largest domestic welded - steel pipe enterprise. In 2025, the welded - pipe price declined. With the improvement of downstream demand and the new supply - side reform in the steel industry, the company plans to expand its domestic and overseas layouts [14][15]. 3.2.2 Wankai New Materials/Wankai Convertible Bond - Wankai New Materials is a leading domestic polyester material enterprise. In 2024, the domestic polyester bottle - chip market had increased production but decreased prices. New applications may bring new demand. Many enterprises in the industry are reducing production, which may optimize the supply - demand pattern and increase the company's profitability [20][23]. 3.2.3 Keshun Co., Ltd./Keshun Convertible Bond - Keshun focuses on building waterproofing solutions. The domestic waterproofing industry is highly fragmented, but the new regulations may benefit leading enterprises. Keshun will expand its retail, non - real - estate, and overseas businesses, and improve profitability through R & D and cost reduction [26][31]. 3.2.4 Xin Fengming/Feng 22 Convertible Bond - Xin Fengming is a major player in the polyester fiber industry. The upstream raw material supply is abundant, which is beneficial for the polyester end. Due to environmental policies and industry integration, some small enterprises are being eliminated, and the industry structure is being optimized [32][33]. 3.2.5 Trina Solar/Tian 23 Convertible Bond - Trina Solar is involved in photovoltaic products, energy storage, and system solutions. The Chinese photovoltaic industry faces challenges, but the "anti - involution" action and policy support may bring price recovery, technology premium, and industry integration, and improve the company's profitability and stock valuation [38][39].
