智通财经APP获悉，东兴证券发布研报称，2025年，化工品价格指数小幅震荡下行，化工行业仍处于低 景气阶段，但目前全球能源类成本已从高位回落，同时，从供给、需求、库存角度看，行业已出现积极 变化。展望2026年国内化工行业，供需格局有望改善，建议关注行业景气有望回升的子行业，如钛白 粉、部分农药品种、化纤、制冷剂等；资本开支和研发共同驱动中长期增长的龙头企业；受益于需求增 加或国产替代持续推进的部分高端化工新材料，如电子化工材料、高端陶瓷材料等。 从需求端来看，国内制造业需求弱复苏，新兴领域或带来增量；此外，大规模设备更新、消费品以旧换 新等具体政策，也有助于拉动汽车、家电产业链相关化工品的需求。因此国内部分化工子行业的供需格 局有改善趋势，看好钛白粉、部分农药品种、化纤、制冷剂等子行业的供需格局有望逐步好转。 (2)资本开支和研发共同驱动中长期增长的龙头企业。经历供给侧改革之后，国内化工行业的集中度已 经有了较大的提升。未来，受到环保、安全、能耗等政策限制，化工行业资本开支向龙头集聚，投资方 向主要是聚焦原有产品产能扩张、围绕产业链向下游高附加值产品延伸、或通过研发驱动向更多高壁垒 的精细化学品和新材料领域 ...

Group 1 - The core view of the report indicates that the chemical industry in China is expected to see a bottoming out and improvement in supply-demand dynamics, with a marginal recovery in industry prosperity anticipated for 2026 [4][5][45] - In 2025, the chemical price index is projected to decline slightly, remaining in a low prosperity phase, but global energy costs have retreated from their highs, leading to positive changes in supply, demand, and inventory [4][15][45] - The report highlights that supply-side investment growth in the chemical industry is slowing, driven by anti-competitive policies and the exit of outdated overseas production capacities, which alleviates supply-side pressure [4][30][37] Group 2 - The report identifies three key investment directions for 2026: sub-industries with improving supply-demand dynamics, leading companies driven by capital expenditure and R&D, and high-end chemical new materials benefiting from increased demand or domestic substitution [5][46][57] - Sub-industries expected to see recovery include titanium dioxide, certain pesticide varieties, chemical fibers, and refrigerants, as traditional demand stabilizes and new industries emerge [5][49][57] - Leading companies are expected to concentrate capital expenditure on capacity expansion and high-value downstream products, with significant capital expenditures noted for companies like China Petroleum and Wanhua Chemical [6][51][52] Group 3 - The report emphasizes the ongoing domestic substitution in high-end chemical new materials, particularly in electronic chemical materials and ceramics, driven by the growth of emerging industries such as AI and biomedical applications [7][54][56] - The demand for electronic chemical materials is anticipated to increase as domestic companies make technological advancements and penetrate supply chains for semiconductor and display panel materials [55] - The ceramic materials market is expected to grow significantly due to new applications in biomedical fields, providing a new growth engine for high-end ceramic materials [56]

Investment Rating - The report maintains a "Positive" investment rating for the basic chemical industry, indicating an expectation of performance that exceeds the market benchmark by more than 5% [2][18]. Core Insights - The 20th Central Committee's Fourth Plenary Session emphasized that technological innovation and green development are long-term goals for the chemical industry, which will drive future growth [3][5]. - Technological innovation is identified as a key trend, with a focus on high-end materials and domestic replacements in the chemical sector, particularly in electronic chemical materials [4]. - Green development is highlighted as a foundation for sustainable growth, with government policies aimed at energy conservation and carbon reduction expected to improve supply-demand dynamics in certain sub-industries [5]. Summary by Sections Industry Overview - The chemical industry is projected to benefit from increased R&D investments, leading to breakthroughs in high-barrier fine chemicals and new materials, with domestic leaders likely to gain market share [4]. Policy Impact - The government's push for green transformation, including a target to reduce carbon emissions by approximately 110 million tons, is expected to accelerate the elimination of outdated capacities in high-energy-consuming sectors [5]. Investment Strategy - The report suggests focusing on sub-industries with improving supply-demand dynamics, leading companies with capital expenditure and R&D driving long-term growth, and high-end chemical new materials benefiting from increased demand or domestic replacements [5]. Company Recommendations - Recommended companies include Longbai Group, Hualu Hengsheng, Yangnong Chemical, Xinheng Cheng, and Guocera Materials, all of which are expected to perform strongly in the market [5][12]. Financial Projections - Earnings per share (EPS) and price-to-earnings (PE) ratios for key companies are provided, with Longbai Group projected to have an EPS of 1.30 in 2026 and a PE ratio of 14.98, indicating strong performance [7][12].
