The prices of all kinds of steel were on the rise. China Merchants Securities said that under tight supply and demand balance, steel prices remained high, and the gap between raw material prices and scissors widened. On the one hand, due to the third quarter downstream real estate, infrastructure for the start-up season (July, August real estate new construction area was 14.4%, 15.9%, respectively, a year-on-year high), demand was not bad; and the supply side due to environmental restrictions on production pressure. The output (daily average crude steel output of 2.621 million tons and 2.591 million tons in July and August) and the start-up rate were down from the previous quarter.

Plate valuation advantage is obvious
Steel continued to perform well, and from the valuation point of view, China Merchants Securities said that steel stocks year-round performance corresponding to PE3.5-6 times, valuation advantage is obvious. According to China Merchants Securities forecast for the full year performance, the mainstream steel stocks corresponding to PE generally in the 3.5-6 times range, the lowest Valin steel is only 3.6 times.
China Merchants Securities (CMS) said it was concerned about the high season and three-quarter quotations under the premise of low valuation and low inventory, taking into account both valuation and performance growth.
Tan Qian, an analyst with Guohai Securities, said last week that Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and its surrounding areas began to officially limit production, affected by the loosening of the production margin, the prices of different varieties of steel products have fallen back. But this year's production limit is the sintering, converter, blast furnace and other links of production, last year only blast furnace production limit, the actual supply increase is limited. At present, the medium-term logic of the overall demand margin improvement is still valid for the steel plate, the high turnover demand of real estate, and the stabilization of manufacturing investment. And the micro-performance is excellent, after early adjustment, the PE valuation of high-quality stocks returned to the 3-4 times range, valuation and performance matched well.
Meanwhile, Shen Wan Hongyuan securities also hints that the marginal impact of the limitation of production will be weakened, and the steel price will be callback. The limited production in heating season is offset by the increase of output in unrestricted production areas, and the output is expected to be significantly higher than that in heating season last year. It is difficult to find a shortage of supply in the fourth quarter. After the weakening of fundamentals, stock prices are difficult to show. (source: China Securities Daily)
