"Old infrastructure" is old and strong: steel and cement support the backbone

Although everyone unanimously expected that there would be some performance after the A-share Festival, what I didn't expect was that the long lonely "old infrastructure" sector ignited the trigger of the rebound this week. During the holiday, the relevant person in charge of the national development and Reform Commission said that there were many uncertain factors in the first quarter of this year. We should appropriately move the policy starting point forward, make early arrangements, start early and achieve results, and meet various challenges with a stable economic operation situation. We will promptly introduce a series of policies and measures to implement the strategy of expanding domestic demand. Timely study and put forward targeted measures to revitalize industrial operation, moderately advance infrastructure investment, and strive to form more physical workload in the first quarter.

So why restart the "old infrastructure" at this time? It is also related to economic growth. As far as the current situation is concerned, the contribution rate of traditional infrastructure investment to China's economic growth is declining, from 43.2% in 2018 to 28.9% in 2019 and only 13.7% in 2021. The most obvious feeling is that the real estate market is decreasing. Meanwhile, in the fourth quarter of 2021, China's GDP growth fell to 4%, while that of the United States, which began to vigorously promote "old infrastructure", reached 6%. With the continued easing of China's monetary policy and the continued expansion of fiscal policy, the "old infrastructure", which can easily drive trillions of investment, has ushered in a good opportunity for development.

a steel:

this year will show a growth trend

The Ministry of industry and information technology and other three departments jointly issued the guiding opinions on promoting the high-quality development of the iron and steel industry on February 7. The opinions put forward that by 2025, the iron and steel industry will basically form a high-quality development pattern with reasonable layout and structure, stable resource supply, advanced technology and equipment, prominent quality brand, high intellectual level, strong global competitiveness, green, low-carbon and sustainable development. Strive to complete the ultra-low emission transformation of more than 80% of the steel production capacity by 2025, reduce the comprehensive energy consumption per ton of steel by more than 2%, and reduce the intensity of water resources consumption by more than 10%, ensure that the carbon peak will be reached by 2030, build more than 30 intelligent factories, and increase the proportion of electric furnace steel output in the total crude steel output to more than 15%.

Statistics show that in 2021, under the "three double" background of double control of production capacity and output, stricter control of energy consumption and double carbon target constraints, China's steel industry's total annual steel consumption was about 992 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of about 5.3%. This year is also a "big year" for the profits of the iron and steel industry. Statistics show that as of February 7, a total of 29 listed iron and steel companies in the two cities have issued performance forecasts for 2021, of which only one company is expected to lose money, three companies are expected to have a year-on-year decline in net profits, and 19 companies are expected to have a net profit of more than 1 billion yuan last year. Market participants said that the substantial increase in the profit of steel enterprises in 2021 was mainly due to the sharp rise in the average price of steel and the increase in the profit per ton of steel, which led to a significant increase in the overall profit.

Huabao Securities pointed out that on the whole, driven by the policy, it is expected that China's mines will enter a round of steady production expansion during the 14th five year plan, including the application and promotion of difficult beneficiation comprehensive separation and utilization technology, and the construction of China's resource guarantee capacity will be gradually strengthened. Focus on relevant listed companies focusing on iron ore business and mining machinery companies in the upstream of the industrial chain. It will help to further consolidate the industry's long-term global competitiveness under the current supply and demand fundamentals of the steel market. It is suggested to allocate two types of Companies: pay attention to the improvement of downstream infrastructure investment margin, bring about the rebound of demand for pipes and building materials, and relevant beneficiary companies; Considering the current low valuation of the steel sector, it is recommended to pay attention to listed companies with high long-term dividend level.

B cement:

demand improvement is expected to achieve excess return

On the first trading day after the festival, the performance of the cement sector was eye-catching, Gansu Shangfeng Cement Co.Ltd(000672) , Yunnan Bowin Technology Industry Co.Ltd(600883) , Huaxin Cement Co.Ltd(600801) , Xinjiang Tianshan Cement Co.Ltd(000877) , Jiangxi Wannianqing Cement Co.Ltd(000789) , Sichuan Shuangma Cement Co.Ltd(000935) and so on. Recently, the Ministry of industry and information technology issued the "14th five year plan" for the development of raw material industry, which proposed that by 2025, cement and other raw materials will form 5 to 10 leading enterprises in the industrial chain with ecological leadership and core competitiveness, and form more than 5 world-class advanced manufacturing clusters in the field of raw materials.

Zhongtai Securities Co.Ltd(600918) believes that the stable growth cycle of the resumption of trading in recent ten years is an important layout time point. After the policy setting, the market has an upward trend under the influence of policy expectations, and the cement sector can achieve about 10% excess return. The time node of this steady growth cycle is more similar to that of 2011. The timing point of steady growth is the central economic work conference in December, followed by a period of economic data window, which means that before the economic data disclosure in March, the cement sector is expected to benefit from steady growth and realize excess returns. Therefore, it is an important layout timing point of the cement sector at present. Tianfeng Securities Co.Ltd(601162) it is also expected that there will be marginal improvement in demand in the first half of 2022, and the valuation may be repaired first. On the demand side, it is expected that there will be marginal improvement at the infrastructure side in the first quarter of 2022, the bottom of the real estate side will pick up, and the demand is expected to begin to improve.

Statistics show that in 2021, the national net new production capacity was 7 million tons (a year-on-year increase of 0.4%), and the new production capacity decreased. In the context of shrinking demand, enterprises are expected to strengthen their willingness to cooperate on the supply side in order to maintain the steady development of the market, and areas with poor supply pattern in the past, such as Yunnan, Guizhou and Northeast China, have been significantly improved. In 2022, the cement demand is expected to decline slightly, but maintain a high platform period. The willingness of supply coordination is expected to increase instead of decrease. The annual output is expected to decline in single digits year-on-year, and the total volume will remain more than 2 billion tons.

From the perspective of price, the average price of high-standard cement in China remains high. From the perspective of cost, it is expected that the cement price center will be stable and the profitability will be improved in 2022.

\u3000\u3000 Huaxin Cement Co.Ltd(600801) (600801)

the price trend of the company's regional cement market presents a V-shaped reversal. In the medium term, strict supply side constraints and demand repair are expected to support the upward trend of the cement boom, and the increment of aggregate and concrete continues to contribute. In the short term, the rapid rise in the price of basic materials has formed a phased restriction on the release of downstream demand, but the state of strict supply restriction of the industry under the influence of dual control of energy consumption and power restriction policy has not fundamentally changed. The overall inventory of the industry fluctuates at a low level, and the supply continues to be in short supply. The efforts to stabilize growth are superimposed to strengthen the repair of demand, It will support the cement price center in the medium term, which is higher than that in the same period of previous years. Guosheng securities expects the company to have considerable profit elasticity from Q4 in 2021 to the first half of 2022.

C sponge City:

preferred for new urbanization

Sponge city is a new generation of urban rainwater and flood management concept, which means that the city can be like a sponge and has good flexibility in adapting to environmental changes and dealing with natural disasters caused by rainwater. It can also be called "water elastic city". The international common term is "construction of rainwater system for low impact development". When it rains, it absorbs, stores, seeps and purifies water, and releases and uses the stored water when necessary, so as to realize the free migration of rainwater in the city. Starting from ecosystem services, the core of sponge city is to build water ecological infrastructure through cross-scale construction and combined with various specific technologies.

The latest research report of Guotai Junan Securities Co.Ltd(601211) Securities believes that urban waterlogging occurs frequently, and the construction of sponge city is imperative. Under the triple pressure of shrinking demand, supply shock and weakening expectation, the willingness to support the fiscal bottom will be stronger in 2022. The construction of sponge city has entered the popularization and promotion period, and a new round of selection of construction demonstration cities in 2021 may once again catalyze the investment in sponge city. During the 13th Five Year Plan period, the investment in sponge cities is expected to be 1.9 trillion, and the cumulative investment scale is expected to increase to 7 trillion from 2020 to 2030.

The consortium model has become a trend, and the ability of local governments to build sponge cities has been improved. After the peak period of sponge city projects in 2016-2017, there were few new investment projects, mainly due to the weak repayment ability of sponge city projects, the shortage of local finance and the decline of willingness of social capital to participate. Guotai Junan Securities Co.Ltd(601211) believes that more operational water treatment assets need to be included in the new projects in sponge city in the future to enhance the willingness of social capital to participate. For example, in the sponge city project, increase the rainwater collection and utilization project that provides the supply of new water resources, increase the multi-functional regulation and storage and ecological park that can provide ticket income, toll ecological parking lot, etc.
