This week's changes: international crude oil prices continue to adjust, which will affect the decline in the value of raw materials in the short-term. If the duration is longer, it will affect the willingness and rhythm of chemical downstream inventory replenishment. Profit is also affected by the decline in the value of finished products. Favoring the downstream end of the chemical industry chain, it is preferred to just consume chemicals such as vitamins, pesticides, fertilizers, and chemical fibers. Overseas epidemic situation fermentation, the demand for chemical products is worthy of attention, pay attention to mandatory consumer products and the segmented chemical products with a high proportion in Europe. In addition, April entered the quarterly reporting period, focusing on the 1Q exceeded expectations.

Sub-industry perspectives: (1) Xinhecheng ’s 1st quarter results exceeded expectations, which is expected to drive the market of the vitamin sector; pay attention to Shengda Biology and Zhejiang Medicine, and D3 raises prices to focus on garden biology; Enterprise resumption of work is proceeding in an orderly manner; the combined impact of environmental protection, safety and epidemic factors on the supply of the industry may be further intensified, accelerating the survival of the fittest in the industry. Pay attention to the impact of the development of India's epidemic situation on the domestic pesticide export market. The key recommendations are: the integration of industry chains, technology and single-product competitive advantages in the subdivided fields, Yanggong Chemical and Lier Chemical; the second is Baiao Chemical and Hunan Haili, which have a large price increase elasticity; Pay attention to the preparation company Adoma, as well as Limin shares and Guangxin shares. (3) International automakers have overcharged electric vehicles, and the short-term impact of the epidemic will not change the industry's mid-to-long-term trends. We continue to recommend the leading new lithium battery materials company, New State. (4) The demand for zeolites due to the introduction of diesel vehicles in China VI has increased, and the OLED business has entered a period of performance release. We recommend Wanrun. (5) Long-term optimistic about the undervalued leader Wanhua Chemical (the market value is significantly underestimated, large ethylene production is approaching, MDI returns to the price increase cycle after the epidemic), Hualu Hengsheng (the market value is significantly underestimated, the product price cycle is at the bottom, new projects continue Launch), Sanyou Chemical (viscose price increase).
