However, accounts receivable increased by 58.58% to 850 million yuan, raising concerns about cash flow efficiency [2][6]. Future Outlook - The company anticipates a recovery in gross margin and profitability in the fourth quarter, supported by orders from high-end stainless steel product exports and upgrades in downstream thermal power boiler equipment. The company expects steady revenue growth from 2025 to 2027, with net profit continuing to improve, although potential risks from the recovery of the U.S. economy and nuclear power renovations could impact growth [2][7][20]. International Market Expansion - Starting in 2024, the company began generating overseas sales revenue, reaching 28 million yuan in the first half of 2025. The company is actively participating in international project tenders to reduce reliance on domestic markets [2][8]. Industry Context - China is the world's largest producer of seamless steel pipes, accounting for 66% of global production as of the end of 2023. The domestic self-sufficiency rate for seamless steel pipes has been steadily increasing, with the company leveraging its high-performance, high-value-added products to break international monopolies [2][9]. Raw Material Prices and Predictions - As of October 2025, the average monthly price for seamless steel pipe (108×45 model) was approximately 4,261.35 yuan per ton, a year-on-year decrease of 7.3%. The company predicts that the average price of stainless steel raw materials will fluctuate between 25,000 and 28,000 yuan per ton from 2025 to 2030 [2][13][14]. Power Demand and Equipment Installation - As of August 2025, China's electricity demand was approximately 1,014.49 terawatt-hours, with a year-on-year growth of 5%. The demand for small-diameter thermal power boiler pipes is expected to continue increasing due to ongoing upgrades in power generation equipment [2][15]. Competitive Landscape and Future Trends - The competitive landscape for thermal power remains strong, with thermal power accounting for 64% of total power generation competition as of mid-2025. The company’s small-diameter T91 and T92 high-pressure boiler seamless pipes are expected to maintain high growth rates in the coming years [2][17]. Response to New Energy Development - The rapid development of new energy sources poses challenges to traditional thermal power.
