This is mainly due to the sales volume of Q4 soda ash, viscose, caustic soda and PVC decreased by 14.74%, 17.3%, 20.95% and 39.69% month on month respectively. On the cost side, the rapid rise of raw coal, pulp, calcium carbide and other raw materials has affected the profit.
Soda ash maintains a high boom and viscose profit is expected to improve
According to the company’s statistics, the capacity utilization rates of soda ash, viscose, chlor alkali and silicone industries in 2021 are 88%, 74%, 85% and 81% respectively. The new capacity of other products except silicone is limited, and the industry boom is expected to improve in 2022. According to the data of Baichuan Yingfu, the average price of light soda ash since the beginning of the year is 2400 yuan / ton, up 62% year-on-year. We expect the company’s profit to remain high; The average price of viscose staple fiber is 12830 yuan / ton, down 2.77% year-on-year. According to the current price calculation, it is expected to turn around the loss. The company is the double leader of soda ash and viscose staple fiber in China, with obvious cost advantage and stable leading position. For every 100 yuan / ton increase of soda ash and viscose, the annual net profit of the company will increase by 214 million and 60 million respectively, with great performance flexibility.
