Cement - China

1H16 Results Preview: Weak Earnings Widely Expected; Further Improvement Likely In 2H16

Apart from BBMG which has benefitted from higher property sales recognition, we expect most cement players to report a steep earnings decline in 1H16 due to the high cement price base in 1H15, although decent sales volume growth was recorded.

Nonetheless, cement players’ earnings bottomed out in 2Q16 while a further cement price hike in Sep-Nov 16 will drive earnings improvement in 2H16.

Maintain OVERWEIGHT on the sector. Top picks: Conch and CR Cement.

China’s cement firms look to Beijing for help in trimming excess

An unprecedented consolidation is about to take place in China’s cement industry with an aim of concentrating at least 60 per cent of national capacity into 10 top producers by 2020.

The mainland’s cement association has petitioned policymakers to speed up consolidation in the sector, which is currently crowded with 3,500 producers.

Cement is one of the industries suffering from serious overcapacity in addition to steel and coal.

<Research Report>Deutsche Lifts TPs on CN Cement Stocks; Expects Upcycle to Continue

Deutsche Bank, in its report, said cement pricing in 1H17 has continued its upward trajectory with nationwide cement prices up an average of 32% yearly.

The strong price hikes mean median earnings could rise by about 71% for cement companies under the broker's coverage.

Although cement prices will correct in June and July due to seasonality, the broker has seen signs of price stabilization in some regions.

The broker estimated cement companies in 1H would have already achieved 48% of full year consensus earnings, presenting upside risks to Street earnings upgrades.

While the magnitude of earnings increase will likely decline into 2H, Deutsche Bank said cement prices should still see about 13% growth in 2H.

For 2H17 outlook, Northwest China is the best region in China this year. Both SINOMA (01893.HK) and WESTCHINACEMENT (02233.HK) saw 1H17 volumes grow by over 5% on the back of strong infrastructure investments.

Tight supply has also led to gross profit per tonne improving significantly. Deutsche Bank believed that a more stable earnings outlook and higher dividends support higher valuations.

China giants CNBM and Sinoma merge to become world’s largest cement maker, eye Silk Road growth

Country’s largest and fourth-largest cement producers aim for 100 plants in three to five years

While the 520 million tonnes of annual capacity developed by CNBM and Sinoma globally is small compared with China’s capacity of about four billion tonnes, it represents an avenue for long-term growth.


With fixed-asset investment growth slowing from an average of 23.4 per cent in the decade to 2014 to below 10 per cent since 2015, China’s cement production growth rates have fallen from 13.2 per cent in the decade to 2013, to being largely stagnant since 2014.

Cement – China
Right Time, Right Place


Despite lacklustre demand, cement prices have been trending up to historical highs due to government policy-guided and market-driven production curbs.

The curbs would remain in place and we expect a more concentrated market on stricter
environmental standards and collaborations between leading players.

We prefer east and south China with better supply-demand dynamics.

We re-initiate coverage on the sector with MARKET WEIGHT.

Our top picks are CNBM and Conch-A.

Cement – China

1H18 Results Preview: Record-High Earnings Ahead

We expect the sector to deliver decent 1H18 results in a strong cement market.

In our view, infrastructure demand might pick up with potential acceleration of fiscal spending in 2H18, thus benefitting the cement sector.

We believe the recent sell-off in the market has created a good opportunity to accumulate quality cement names.

Upgrade the China cement sector to OVERWEIGHT. Maintain BUY on Anhui Conch, CNBM, and CR Cement with new target prices.
