Summary of the Conference Call Industry Overview - The nuclear fusion energy sector in China is experiencing significant investment, projected to reach 20 billion yuan annually by 2028, with total investments potentially exceeding 200 billion yuan if demonstration projects are included, which could raise annual investments to 40 billion yuan. This is relatively small compared to traditional nuclear power investments, which exceed 100 billion yuan annually [2][3]. Company Profile: 合锻智能 (Hezhong Intelligent) - Hezhong Intelligent is a leading enterprise in the nuclear fusion industry, with its vacuum chamber and in-vessel components accounting for approximately 10% of the total device value. The company is expected to generate 4 billion yuan in revenue and 1 billion yuan in net profit from the anticipated 40 billion yuan annual investment in the sector [2][4][6]. - The company is involved in significant projects such as EAST renovation, Krafton, and BEST, and is expected to return to normal profitability by 2025, with profits gradually increasing in the following years [5][18]. Key Insights and Arguments - The vacuum chamber is a critical component of the Tokamak device, providing a stable operating environment for plasma and acting as a safety barrier. Its value contribution is about 8%, while in-vessel components increase this to 25% [2][7]. - The materials used in nuclear fusion devices include advanced metals and non-metals, such as low-activation ferritic-martensitic steel and high-entropy alloys, aimed at enhancing thermal conductivity and heat resistance [8]. - The DIB (Divertor Inner Wall) plays a crucial role in preventing impurity contamination of the plasma and dissipating heat generated by plasma radiation, typically using beryllium or tungsten as facing materials [9]. Market Position and Valuation - Hezhong Intelligent is currently valued at approximately 50 times its earnings, suggesting a market capitalization of around 50 billion yuan. The potential for market growth is significant, with estimates indicating a market cap could reach 250 billion yuan by 2027-2028 [6][25]. - The company’s market share in the nuclear fusion sector is expected to be around 10%, translating to projected revenues of 4 billion yuan and a net profit of 1 billion yuan, with a valuation of 50 times earnings [25]. Additional Important Information - The shielding modules in nuclear fusion devices are designed to protect against neutron radiation and manage heat loads, with significant components being manufactured by both domestic and international suppliers [11][13]. - The overall bidding situation for nuclear fusion components is robust, with significant tenders expected throughout 2025, indicating a healthy market environment for Hezhong Intelligent and its peers [22][23]. - The establishment of the Fusion New Energy Company, backed by the Hefei government and state-owned enterprises, is a key player in advancing nuclear fusion technology and industry development [19]. Conclusion - Hezhong Intelligent is positioned as a key player in the nuclear fusion industry, with strong growth potential driven by increasing investments and participation in major projects. The company's strategic focus on advanced materials and component manufacturing aligns well with the industry's future demands, making it a compelling investment opportunity.
