3Q21's performance is in line with our expectations.

The company announced 3Q21 results: 3Q21 realized income of 28.952 billion yuan, year-on-year + 39.31%, month-on-month-12.21%; return to the mother net profit of 1.883 billion yuan, corresponding to earnings per share of 0.24 yuan, year-on-year + 152.79%, month-on-month-39.89%, basically in line with expectations.

1) under the background of production pressure drop, the company's production and sales volume declined month-on-month in the third quarter. The steel production and sales of 3Q21 are all 4.96 million tons, with a month-on-month ratio of-11.1% and 9.8% respectively, of which the output of plate and strip, bar and wire rod and train axle is 2.37 million tons, respectively, and the month-on-month ratio is-5.9%, 16.5% and 25%, respectively. Under the background of output pressure drop, the company actively adjusts the product structure, and the proportion of profitable plate and axle products increases. 2) the rise in coke price led to a slight decline in the company's 3Q tons of steel wool. The price of 3Q21 per ton steel, gross profit per ton steel, cost per ton steel and net profit per ton steel are respectively RMB 5837x892 and net profit per ton, respectively, with a month-on-month decrease of RMB 159x361 per ton, 17max 190 per ton. The sharp rise in coke prices is one of the main reasons for the decline in gross profit of the company. The average 3Q21 price of coke we tracked is 3209 yuan / ton, with a month-on-month ratio of + 29.6%.

3) strengthen the research and development of new products, and keep the rate of R & D expenditure at a high level. The company's 3Q21 R & D expenditure rate is 4.4%, which is mainly due to the company's increased investment in scientific research to strengthen the development of new products. 4) the balance sheet continues to be optimized. As of 3Q21, the asset-liability ratio was 58.28%, a month-on-month decline of 2.5ppt, continuing the downward trend.

Development trend

Fourth-quarter results are expected to improve, optimistic that the company's 22-year profit center will remain high. Up to now, the average gross margin of screw thread and hot rolled steel per ton of steel simulated by us in the fourth quarter to date is 886 hectare 840 yuan respectively, which is about 400 hectare 100 yuan higher than that of 3Q. Steel production pressure drop steadily, we believe that 4Q steel supply and demand is still tight, adding up to November we track the company's main steel factory prices remain high, the company's 4Q profit is expected to improve. Looking forward to 22 years, under the background that the double control of energy consumption has gradually become a long-term constraint on the supply of high energy-consuming industries such as iron and steel, we believe that the supply restriction of the iron and steel industry will continue, while the weakening demand in the downstream of the terminal may form greater pressure on raw material prices. accelerate the peak decline of the iron ore and coking coal cycle, we still have confidence in plate profits, and it is expected that the gross profit per ton of steel, a typical product of the industry, will remain at a good level of around 500-700 yuan / ton.

Profit forecast and valuation

Leaving the 2021 profit forecast unchanged, we lowered our net profit by 21.3% to 7.551 billion yuan in 2022 as we lowered our 22-year product price assumption. The current A share price corresponds to 2021 Compact 22 3.5X/4.4XP/E. The current H share price corresponds to the 22-year price-to-earnings ratio of 2021 2.3X/2.9X. We maintain the neutral rating of the company's Aprime H shares, but due to the company's 22-year profit or decline, we downgrade the target price of Aprime H by 24.5%, 20.0% to 5.20, and HK $4.0 respectively (corresponding to A-share 2021 prime 22 P/E2.8x/3.5x E4.2xgray 5.3x H-share 2021122 P/E2.8x/3.5x), and Aprime H shares have 19.3% of the upside space of 19.8% of the company's 2021mm H shares, respectively, as a result of a 22-year profit or a decline in the company's 22-year profit.

Risk

Demand in peak season is lower than expected; real estate sales and construction are substantial.
