Core Viewpoint - The steel industry is expected to remain in a trend of demand reduction and structural adjustment through 2026, with limited improvement in supply-demand dynamics and profitability. However, the structural changes brought about by anti-involution are noteworthy, focusing on two main lines: differentiated production control and the acceleration of domestic substitution in high-end steel materials, benefiting leading special steel companies [2][6]. Supply Dynamics - The steel industry is entering a new phase of "reduction and quality improvement," with increasing differentiation and structural changes. The tightening of capacity replacement policies and the promotion of green transformation are expected to drive differentiated production control, benefiting ESG-compliant companies [6][20]. - The new capacity replacement implementation measures are becoming stricter, signaling a gradual solidification of the industry's capacity ceiling. Companies unable to meet the new standards may exit the market, reshaping the competitive landscape [21][20]. Demand Dynamics - The real estate sector is experiencing a downturn, with sales and new construction areas declining significantly. The forecast for 2026 indicates a further reduction in real estate steel demand by 5.3% [23]. - Infrastructure investment is expected to see marginal improvement, with a projected 2.8% increase in steel demand for infrastructure in 2026, driven by government debt management and project funding optimization [23]. - Manufacturing demand is anticipated to grow, with a 1.7% increase in steel consumption expected in 2026, supported by high-tech manufacturing and equipment upgrades [24]. Price and Profitability Outlook - The black series prices are expected to seek a new equilibrium, with projections for rebar, hot-rolled, and cold-rolled steel prices to decline to 2960, 3050, and 3850 yuan per ton, respectively, in 2026. The gross profit margins for these products are forecasted to be 127, 66, and 346 yuan per ton, showing year-on-year increases [5][28]. - The profitability of steel companies is expected to improve moderately as raw material prices decline, with the gross profit margins projected to be below the historical median [28][29]. Investment Opportunities - The focus is on high-quality cash flow assets that are undervalued and leading in green transformation, which are likely to see a recovery in profitability and value reassessment [2][38]. - The special steel sector is poised for growth, driven by domestic substitution and the increasing demand from advanced manufacturing sectors, indicating a favorable outlook for leading special steel companies [39][41].

Investment Rating - The industry investment rating is "Positive" [1] Core Views - The report indicates that the equity bottom is continuing to recover, suggesting a positive outlook for the steel industry [1] Price Performance - The Shanghai Composite Index is at 4,120, with a weekly increase of 3.8% and a year-to-date increase of 3.8% [3] - The SW Steel Index is at 2,752, with a weekly increase of 3.5% and a year-to-date increase of 3.5% [3] - The average price of rebar (HRB400 20mm) is 3,280 CNY/ton, with a weekly decrease of 1.2% [3] - Iron ore price index is at 108 USD/ton, with a weekly increase of 6% [3] Inventory - Total social inventory of five major steel products is 864,000 tons, with a weekly increase of 1.7% [5] - Total inventory at steel mills is 389,000 tons, with a weekly increase of 1.9% [5] - Port inventory of iron ore is 16,280,000 tons, with a weekly increase of 2.6% [5] Supply and Demand - The weekly output of five major steel products is projected to be around 750,000 tons [9] - Daily average molten iron production is expected to reach 195,000 tons [9] - The report highlights the recovery in demand for steel products, indicating a positive trend in the market [8][10]

Core Viewpoint - The steel industry is expected to experience a structural transformation by 2026, with potential improvements in real estate dragging down or stabilizing, while infrastructure work may accelerate. However, overseas demand is likely to remain suppressed, leading to challenges in supply adjustments for steel mills under high operational pressure. The industry is anticipated to seek a new price equilibrium, with structural opportunities emerging, particularly in special steel as domestic substitution accelerates, potentially enhancing profitability and valuation levels [1][2][3]. Group 1 - The black steel prices are expected to seek a new equilibrium downward, with projected price centers for rebar, hot-rolled, and cold-rolled sheets at 2960, 3050, and 3850 yuan respectively by 2026 [2]. - The profit margins for rebar, hot-rolled, and cold-rolled sheets are estimated to be 127, 66, and 346 yuan per ton respectively, showing year-on-year increases of 77, 18, and 29 yuan, although these figures are below the ten-year median margins [2]. Group 2 - The steel industry is entering a new phase of "reduction and quality enhancement," with increasing differentiation among companies. Leading firms are expected to emerge from the industry downturn, driven by stricter capacity replacement policies and new industry standards focusing on low emissions and green production [3]. - The special steel sector is projected to benefit from high domestic manufacturing demand and increased investment in advanced manufacturing, leading to a significant shift towards high-value-added areas and improved competitiveness for special steel companies [3].
