Continue to give back to investors, and the 24H1 mid-term dividend ratio is 30%. The company distributes cash dividends to shareholders of 2.94 billion yuan based on 30% of the 2024H1 net profit, which is equivalent to 0.221 yuan (tax included) per share based on the company's total issued share capital of 13.258 billion shares. We believe that in the future, the company will continue to respond to policy calls to increase the dividend ratio and increase the investment value of listed companies.

Profit forecasting and valuation. We believe that the company's main coal business is expected to increase steadily in price, the coal chemical business is expected to improve steadily, and the coal industry chain extension chain is progressing steadily against world-class energy companies. We expect the company's net profit to be 19/21.1/21.8 billion yuan for 24-26, and the corresponding EPS is 1.43/1.59/1.65 yuan. Referring to comparable companies, we will give 11 to 13 times PE in 2024, corresponding to a reasonable value range of 15.78 to 18.65 yuan, maintaining the “superior to the market” rating.

Risk warning. Downstream demand has declined sharply, and mines under construction have not been successfully put into operation.
