The 12.1 billion yuan bid for coal prospecting rights in the Shangma block of Xiangyuan County, Shanxi Province is conducive to the company's expansion of storage and sustainable development. According to the company's announcement on August 22, 2024, the company competed for coal prospecting rights in the Shangma block of Xiangyuan County, Shanxi Province for 12.126 billion yuan. The Shangma block in Xiangyuan County, Shanxi Province has 0.82 billion tons of coal resources. The proposed concession period is 5 years, equivalent to 14.8 yuan per ton of resources, and is close to the company's headquarters and main mining area. We believe that this resource auction is in line with the company's main business positioning and future development strategy, and will further increase the company's coal resource reserves, which is conducive to enhancing the company's core service functions and core competitive advantages as well as sustainable and steady future development.

Profit forecasting and valuation. We expect that the company's volume reduction and cost increase in 24 years may cause further pressure on performance, but the results of cost reduction and efficiency may gradually become apparent after 25 years. Net profit from 24 to 26 is 5.04/6/6.24 billion yuan, corresponding EPS is 1.69/2/2.08 yuan. Based on comparable company valuations, the company is given 12 to 13 times PE in 24 years, corresponding to a reasonable value range of 20.23 to 21.92 yuan, maintaining the “superior to the market” rating.

Risk warning. Demand has declined sharply, and large amounts of bad debts are being prepared for accrual.
