Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - In February, the steel market declined unilaterally, with the decline of both rebar and hot-rolled coil contract 05 exceeding 2%. During the Spring Festival, the macro logic cooled down, and the expected logic failed to dominate the market. The molten iron production was higher than the same period, demand was weak, and inventory accumulated seasonally. The cost support weakened as the pre - holiday steel mill restocking logic ended. [2][7] - Although the market still has certain expectations for policies with the upcoming Two Sessions, the boost from the Two Sessions and the "15th Five - Year Plan" may be limited. The real supply - demand pressure is continuously accumulating. If no unexpected macro - policies are introduced later, the black market may continue to decline under supply - demand pressure. [2] - The spread between hot - rolled coils and rebar tends to widen seasonally after the Spring Festival, and the space for further contraction may be limited. One can opportunistically establish positions for the spread to widen. [3] Summary by Relevant Catalogs Market Review - In February, the steel market declined unilaterally. Rebar and hot - rolled coil contract 05 both fell by more than 2%, performing weakly among commodities. During the Spring Festival, the expected logic could not dominate the market. Molten iron production was higher, demand was weak, and inventory gradually accumulated. The cost support weakened as the pre - holiday restocking ended. [7] Currency and Social Financing - M1 growth rate declined, and the M1 - M2 spread turned downward. Social financing growth rate continued to decline, and the spread with M2 re - entered the negative range. Overall, the marginal liquidity of "hot money" weakened, and social investment willingness remained low. [10] Price Index - In January, CPI was 0.2%, and PPI was - 1.4%. The manufacturing PMI in January was 49.3, a month - on - month decrease of 0.8. [13] Steel Monthly Data - In 2025, the crude steel output was 961 million tons, a year - on - year decrease of 4.4%; the pig iron output decreased by 3% year - on - year. [14] Five - Major Steel Products Weekly Data - As of February 27, 2026, the total output of five - major steel products decreased by 7.98 compared with the previous period, with a cumulative year - on - year decrease of 2.42%. The total consumption decreased by 69, with a cumulative year - on - year increase of 1.61%. The inventory increased by 134.27, with a year - on - year decrease of 1.76%. [15] Steel Output - Since February, the output of five - major steel products has decreased and is at a low level compared with the same period. [18] Steel Production Profit - The blast furnace profit changed little. Rebar generally maintained a positive profit, while the profit of hot - rolled coils was relatively average. The EAF profit was good in the early stage, but with the decline of rebar price before the Spring Festival, the valley - electricity profit returned below the break - even line. [19] Steel Demand - Demand declined due to the Spring Festival. Construction steel consumption declined normally. The real estate data shows that the housing construction demand is difficult to improve significantly in the later stage. The consumption of coil products shows strong resilience, especially cold - rolled coils and medium - thick plates. [38][41][55] Steel Export - In 2025, steel exports reached 119 million tons, the highest in history. The steel export license system implemented in 2026 will restrict the "buy - order" exports, and steel exports may face a phased reduction. [62] Steel Inventory - The rebar basis was strong in February. The spot price was relatively firm but may decline later due to inventory pressure. The hot - rolled coil basis strengthened slightly in February but was still near 0, and high inventory suppressed the basis. The rebar monthly spread fluctuated little and may weaken seasonally in March. The hot - rolled coil monthly spread fluctuated near 0. [75][79][85]

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Core Viewpoints - After the Spring Festival, the overall sentiment in the A-share market has significantly warmed up, with the CSI 1000 and CSI 500 indexes rising by over 4% within the week. The technology and resource sectors have shown a dual-line market, driven by different logics. The policy tone during the Two Sessions is expected to be "structural optimization" rather than "strong stimulus" [5]. - The technology sector remains prosperous but shows continued differentiation. The computing infrastructure and commercial aerospace sectors have more solid fundamental support, while the AI application and large model concepts face short - term pressure. The allocation logic for resource products and public utilities is expected to strengthen next week [8]. Summary by Directory Market Observation - **Market Performance After the Spring Festival**: The overall sentiment in the A - share market has warmed up after the Spring Festival. The CSI 1000 and CSI 500 indexes have risen by over 4%. The computing power industry chain, power, commercial aerospace, and resource product cyclical sectors have been active, but the "AI swallowing applications" narrative has impacted sectors such as A - share software and Hang Seng Technology. The global HALO trading strategy has become the dominant direction for foreign capital, and the A - share market has resonated [5]. - **Driving Logic of the Dual - line Market of Technology and Resources**: The dual - line market of technology and resources is essentially two sides of the same market logic. The technology sector is driven by the industrial prosperity logic of "AI driving the expansion of computing power and power demand and accelerating domestic substitution", and the resource sector is driven by the cycle repair logic of "PPI recovery, anti - involution policy implementation, and global resource re - pricing" [5]. - **Policy Expectations During the Two Sessions**: The period from the Spring Festival to the Two Sessions is a time window with dense policy expectations and relatively high certainty of market rise. The current policy tone emphasizes "stabilizing expectations, preventing risks, and improving quality", and the policy combination is more inclined to "structural optimization" rather than "strong stimulus" [5]. - **Configuration Outlook**: The technology sector remains prosperous but shows continued differentiation. The computing infrastructure and commercial aerospace sectors have better risk - return ratios. The allocation logic for resource products and public utilities is expected to strengthen next week. The public utility sector has both substantial demand increments from AI computing power expansion and price mechanism reform expectations [8]. Market Review - **Market Performance**: Most major market indexes rose last week, with the CSI 1000 having the largest increase of 4.34%. The material and energy indexes performed relatively well, with weekly increases of 8.03% and 6.31% respectively, while the telecommunications service and financial indexes performed weakly, with decreases of 3.20% and 1.10% respectively. Among the 30 Shenwan primary industries, 24 industries rose, with steel, non - ferrous metals, and basic chemicals having relatively large increases of 12.27%, 9.77%, and 7.15% respectively, and media, commercial retail, and food and beverage having relatively large decreases of 5.10%, 1.64%, and 1.54% respectively [9][15][18]. - **Trading Heat**: The average daily trading volume of the Wind All - A index last week was 24402.93 billion yuan (the previous value was 21111.36 billion yuan), which is at a relatively high historical position (92.80% in the three - year historical quantile) [21]. - **Valuation Tracking**: As of February 27, 2026, the valuation (PE_TTM) of the Wind All - A index was 23.71, an increase of 0.24 from the previous week, and it is at the 99.90% quantile in the past 5 years. Among the 30 Shenwan primary industries, 23 industries' valuations (PE_TTM) have recovered [25]. Economic Calendar - **Domestic Economic Data**: The official manufacturing PMI for February will be released on March 4 [28]. - **Overseas Economic Data**: The US ISM manufacturing PMI for February, the US effective federal funds rate for February, the US ISM services PMI for February, and the initial jobless claims for the week ending February 28 will be released from March 2 to March 5 [28].

Core Insights - The steel industry is facing a significant structural mismatch between supply and demand, characterized by high production, high costs, and low demand, prices, and profitability. The average sales profit margin has dropped to a historical low of 0.71% [3] - The demand side is undergoing a historic shift from traditional construction steel to industrial steel, driven by "new quality productivity," which emphasizes high-performance and high-value-added steel products for advanced manufacturing sectors such as new energy vehicles and high-end equipment [3] - On the supply side, the industry is experiencing optimization and increased concentration due to ongoing capacity control policies, with crude steel production remaining stable at around 1.01 to 1.03 billion tons. The industry's concentration ratio (CR10) has risen to approximately 43% [3] Demand Side - The traditional demand represented by real estate is in a downward trend, leading to insufficient effective demand. This shift is pushing the industry to adapt to new demands from high-end manufacturing [3] - The rise of "industrial steel" is marked by increased requirements for steel's strength, corrosion resistance, electromagnetic performance, and lightweight properties, indicating a fundamental change in the growth logic of the industry [3] Supply Side - The industry's capacity and output are constrained by dual control policies, resulting in no significant growth in crude steel production. The focus has shifted to optimizing existing capacity and product structure [3] - High-end product domestic substitution is progressing, with structural growth in varieties like electrical steel, although there are still gaps in high-end fields indicated by the price differences in imports and exports [3] Future Paths - The survival and development of companies in the steel industry will depend on their substantive layouts in high-value-added products, green production, and resource control. Five clear paths for successful companies include: 1. Technology-driven firms focusing on R&D to overcome material bottlenecks, represented by companies like Baowu and Tai Steel [3] 2. Service-oriented firms evolving from material suppliers to industry solution providers, exemplified by Nanjing Steel and Ansteel [3] 3. Green-first companies converting low-carbon investments into long-term compliance advantages, such as Baowu and Hebei Steel [3] 4. Overseas expansion firms seeking growth and synergy through international operations, represented by Delong Steel and Jingye Group [3] 5. Resource-secure firms extending upstream to control costs and supply chain security, including Baowu, Shougang, and Ansteel [3]
