Investment Rating - The report maintains a "Positive" investment rating for the industry [14] Core Insights - The glass industry has been experiencing continuous losses since 2025, leading to accelerated cold repairs. By the end of 2025, the production capacity decreased from approximately 160,000 tons/day to 151,000 tons/day, a decline of about 6%. The report anticipates that supply cold repairs will continue, gradually achieving a supply-demand rebalancing. If demand shows marginal improvement, glass prices are expected to exhibit elasticity and sustainability. The report is optimistic about leading companies such as Qibin Group and Xinyi Glass, which have significant cost advantages and sustained growth [3][8][12]. Current Situation: Profit Bottom, Accelerated Cold Repairs - The glass industry has faced significant pressure, with some companies experiencing cash flow losses. The average profitability level has been in continuous loss since 2025, with some companies expected to reach cash flow losses. The report highlights that the cold repair process has accelerated due to these pressures [23][26]. Supply Reduction Potential - The report identifies two main factors affecting glass cold repairs: profitability and furnace age. Currently, production lines over 10 years old account for a total of 18,800 tons/day. Excluding profitable lines from Xinyi and Qibin, as well as automotive and electronic glass lines, the potential cold repair capacity is around 15,000 tons/day. If all these lines are cold repaired, supply could drop to approximately 136,000 tons/day, representing a further 10% reduction from the end of 2025 capacity [9][35]. Supply Recovery Outlook - The report discusses the cautious approach companies may take regarding cold repairs due to high investment costs. For instance, the cold repair cost for an 800 tons/day glass production line typically exceeds 50 million, and upgrades could reach 100 million. The recovery period for investments is estimated to be 1.77 years under optimistic profit scenarios [10][43]. Price Elasticity Post Supply-Demand Rebalancing - The report suggests that under a scenario where real estate demand declines by 10% in 2026, the annual supply needs to decrease to about 145,000 tons/day, a reduction of 0.6 million tons/day from the end of 2025. The ongoing losses in the industry indicate that supply cold repairs will continue, potentially leading to a seasonal price recovery in 2026 [11][57]. Leading Companies: Cost Advantages and Growth - Qibin Group and Xinyi Glass are highlighted as industry leaders with significant profitability advantages. For instance, Qibin's gross profit per unit has been consistently higher than the industry average by 5 yuan/unit since 2020. The report also notes that Qibin has diversified into photovoltaic glass, enhancing its profitability [12][68].

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - The report does not explicitly provide an overall industry investment rating. However, it gives individual ratings for each commodity: - Bullish: Methanol, Urea [3][37] - Bearish: LPG, L, PP, PVC, MEG, Asphalt, Glass, Soda Ash [1][15][19] - Neutral: Crude Oil, Natural Gas, PTA [1][6][26] 2. Report's Core Views - **Crude Oil**: Geopolitical uncertainties in the Middle East lead to short - term volatile and slightly stronger prices. However, the supply - surplus pattern remains, and with the arrival of the demand off - season, there is still downward pressure on oil prices [1][8]. - **LPG**: The cost - end oil price rebounds due to geopolitical disturbances in the short term, but the geopolitical premium is decreasing. The supply of liquefied gas is decreasing, and the chemical demand support is weakening. The inventory shows some positive factors [1]. - **L**: The basis weakens, and the market is in a bearish consolidation. Linear production is at a high level, and the supply is expected to continue to increase, with a bearish fundamental outlook [15][18]. - **PP**: The cost of propane and propylene fluctuates strongly. The supply - demand drive is insufficient before the festival. The current supply - demand is weak, and the PDH profit is low, providing cost support [19][22]. - **PVC**: The decline space of liquid caustic soda is limited. The chlor - alkali comprehensive gross profit is at a low level, providing bottom - cost support. Short - term export rush continues, but high inventory restricts the upward space, and the market is expected to fluctuate before the festival [23][25]. - **PTA**: The valuation is reasonable, and the processing fee has improved. The supply - side device maintenance is in line with the plan, and the downstream demand is seasonally weak. The 1 - 2 month inventory is slightly accumulated, but the overall expectation is positive [26][27]. - **MEG**: The valuation is low. The domestic device load increases, and the overseas device maintenance plan increases. The downstream demand is seasonally weak, and the inventory is expected to accumulate in 1 - 2 months. The short - term demand is under pressure, but the fundamentals are expected to improve in 3 - 4 months [29][30]. - **Methanol**: The domestic device starts to increase, and the overseas device load is expected to increase. The demand shows signs of improvement, and the cost has support. The fundamentals are slightly loose, but geopolitical conflicts still have uncertainties [32][34]. - **Urea**: The overall start - up load is rising, and the demand is strong in the short term. However, as the downstream demand enters the holiday off - season, the support is expected to weaken. The price is restricted by "export quota system" and "price stabilization policy" [37][38]. - **LNG**: The impact of the cold wave in the United States decreases, and the demand - side support gradually weakens, resulting in a weakening gas price trend [41][44]. - **Asphalt**: The cost - end oil price fluctuates disorderly. The asphalt valuation is high, and the supply - side uncertainty increases. Attention should be paid to the import situation of asphalt raw materials [46][50]. - **Glass**: The warehouse receipts increase, and the market is in a low - level consolidation. The supply - demand is weak, and the inventory is slightly accumulated. Supply reduction is needed to digest the high inventory [51][54]. - **Soda Ash**: The warehouse receipts continue to increase. The real - estate demand is weak, and the heavy - alkali demand support is insufficient. The supply is under pressure, and short - selling on rallies is recommended [55][58]. 3.
