Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. Core Viewpoints - In the second quarter, industrial silicon is in a game between cost support and marginal inventory accumulation, with overall weak operation. Attention should be paid to the resumption progress of the southwest during the wet season and the production control intensity of polysilicon. Polysilicon will continue its bottom - hitting rhythm. With the release of compliant production capacity under the energy consumption standard, the supply has changed from tight to loose, but the demand - bearing capacity is limited. During the policy implementation window period in April, the silicon material production has increased steadily, the delivery of photovoltaic centralized projects has slowed down, and the inventory of the industry may face increasing pressure. From May to June, the silicon material end moderately controls the speed to maintain prices. Although the photovoltaic installation has recovered steadily and the demand has improved slightly, it is still difficult to digest the supply increment. In the long - term, it is advisable to short on rebounds. The core is to focus on the actual terminal bearing capacity and inventory digestion performance after the end of the rush - to - export period. Currently, the policy expectations have been fully priced in, and a deep correction due to policy disappointment should be vigilant [4]. Summary by Directory 1.
