Weekly report of building materials industry: the price of glass futures fluctuates without changing the quality of fundamentals

Soda ash futures adjust or affect the price of glass futures, and the industry and the company are basically oriented well without obvious change. From February 11 to 18, the price of glass futures fell from 2374 yuan / ton to 2065 yuan / ton, a decrease of 13.0%. On February 14, float glass faucet Zhuzhou Kibing Group Co.Ltd(601636) fell 9.68% to 16.42 yuan, closing at 17.16 yuan / share this week, down 5.61% this week. We believe that the decline of glass futures is mainly due to the decline of soda ash futures. Soda ash futures fell from 3137 yuan / ton on February 11 to 2854 yuan / ton, a decrease of 9.0%. Cross species arbitrage made the price of glass futures decline with the price of soda ash futures. We believe that with the mass production of photovoltaic glass in 2022, it will bring about an increase of about 8% to the demand side of soda ash. In 2022, the newly added capacity of soda ash is only 300000 tons, and the industry will maintain a production and marketing gap of about 7%. The price of soda ash is expected to remain high in 2022. However, looking back on the basic data of soda ash in 2021, the growth rate of soda ash sales in 2021q4 was - 20.7%, 14.6pct lower than the growth rate of output; The price of soda ash rose from 2426 yuan / ton to 3345 yuan / ton. Prices and supply and demand fundamentals have deviated significantly. Therefore, we believe that the price of soda ash faces adjustment pressure in the short term, but it is expected to remain high in 2022. The recent adjustment of soda ash futures may be the main reason for the decline of glass futures. There are two reasons for Zhuzhou Kibing Group Co.Ltd(601636) this week's price adjustment. The first is that the price adjustment of glass futures has affected the market expectation. The second is that the commitment of non redemption of the company's convertible bonds is about to expire. If the forced redemption is triggered, the conversion selling pressure will have a certain impact on the company's stock price in the short term, resulting in the market's concern about the redemption of convertible bonds. We believe that there is no significant change in the company's fundamentals, and the company is less likely to redeem convertible bonds in the near future. This week, the average spot price of glass has increased to 121.3 yuan / heavy box, an increase of 7.4%, indicating that the current industry is optimistic about the growth of downstream orders in the future. The price increase of the original film factory is relatively smooth, and the price increase is expected to continue in the future. We believe that the completion of real estate in the first half of the year can still maintain a certain growth rate. At the current time point, we recommend building materials related to post cycle completion.
