1. Core Summary

Yuntianhua (600096.SH) closed at RMB 29.31 on September 11, 2026, down 4.43% on the day, with the closing price below all major moving averages (MA5 29.42 to MA50 31.04), and short- to medium-term moving averages in a bearish alignment; it is also below the average chip cost of RMB 31.13 and the 20-day main-force cost of RMB 30.75. Technical indicators RSI(14) at 27.07 and STOCHRSI(14) at 5.32 both fall into oversold territory, but MACD, CCI, and ROC still maintain sell signals, with the composite technical signal at "Strong Sell." On the capital flow side, main-force funds recorded a cumulative net outflow of approximately RMB 399 million over the past 10 days, with a single-day main-force net outflow of approximately RMB 194 million on September 11, showing a structure of "large orders out, small orders in," with both short-term technicals and capital flows leaning weak.

On the fundamentals side, the Company achieved operating revenue of RMB 22.821 billion in H1 2026 (YoY -8.92%), net profit attributable to parent of RMB 2.934 billion (YoY +6.14%), and net profit attributable to parent after deducting non-recurring items of RMB 2.874 billion (YoY +6.5%), achieving positive profit growth against a backdrop of declining revenue; Q2 2026 single-quarter net profit attributable to parent was RMB 1.510 billion (YoY +2.41%, QoQ +5.96%). The revenue decline was mainly due to the proactive scaling back of the low-margin trading and logistics business — H1 trading and logistics revenue was RMB 3.254 billion, YoY -59.64%, overall gross margin was 20.89% (YoY +1.73 percentage points), and H1 debt ratio was 47.48%. The interim dividend was RMB 2 per 10 shares (tax inclusive), with a proposed distribution of approximately RMB 365 million, which has been approved by the 2026 Fourth Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting.

The historical trajectory of profitability shows that the Company's net profit attributable to parent recovered from the trough of 2020, at approximately RMB 3.64 billion in 2021, approximately RMB 6.02 billion in 2022, approximately RMB 4.52 billion in 2023, RMB 5.333 billion in 2024 (YoY +17.93%), and RMB 5.156 billion in 2025 (YoY -3.40%), with gross margin and net margin rising from 8.50%/0.75% in 2020 to 20.21%/11.35% in 2025, achieving counter-cyclical improvement in profitability on the back of phosphate rock self-sufficiency and mine-chemical integration against rising prices of externally purchased raw materials such as sulfur. On dividends, 2024 proposed RMB 14 per 10 shares, 2025 proposed RMB 12 per 10 shares, and H1 2026 proposed RMB 2 per 10 shares.

In terms of industry chain positioning, the Company has phosphate rock reserves of nearly 800 million tonnes, raw ore capacity of 14.5 million tonnes/year, synthetic ammonia self-sufficiency rate of over 97%, supporting Inner Mongolia coal mine capacity of 4 million tonnes/year, and phosphate fertilizer capacity of 5.55 million tonnes/year (second nationally and fourth globally by the Company's own account). In 2025, it ranked first in phosphate fertilizer output TOP10 (P2O5 equivalent) and TOP1 in diammonium phosphate; however, some raw materials such as sulfur need to be externally purchased and the Company is a price taker, with the phosphate chemicals/new materials segment gross margins (38.32%/8.54%) diverging significantly from fertilizers (21.19%) and trading (4.56%). In addition, the associate company Julin Xincai (35% stake) has obtained the mining right for the Wanchang phosphate mine in Zhenxiong County, with resources of 2.438 billion tonnes, and the 10 million tonnes/year mining project has completed project initiation.

2.3 Industry Chain Upstream/Downstream Positioning and Cost-Profit Structure

Yuntianhua is positioned in the mid-to-upstream of the phosphate chemicals industry chain, with phosphate rock resource self-sufficiency and mine-chemical integration (phosphate rock—synthetic ammonia—phosphate fertilizers/phosphate chemicals) as its core characteristics. The Company has phosphate rock reserves of nearly 800 million tonnes, synthetic ammonia self-sufficiency rate of over 97%, and supporting Inner Mongolia coal mine capacity of 4 million tonnes/year, with a high degree of self-sufficiency in core raw materials; however, some raw materials such as sulfur need to be externally purchased and the Company is a price taker. Downstream customers are highly dispersed (top five customers account for approximately 18%-28%, of which the industrial end accounts for only approximately 15%-16%), accounts receivable turnover is extremely fast (approximately 6.29 days), and the Company is in a relatively strong position at the working capital level.

  • Self-owned/self-supplied items: phosphate rock (proprietary reserves of nearly 800 million tonnes, raw ore capacity of 14.5 million tonnes/year), synthetic ammonia (capacity of 2.7 million tonnes/year, self-sufficiency rate over 97%), coal (supporting open-pit coal mine in Hulunbuir, Inner Mongolia, with mining capacity of 4 million tonnes/year, supplemented by external purchases).
  • Key inputs requiring external purchase, where the Company is a price taker: sulfur — China is the world's largest sulfur consumer and importer, mainly importing from the Middle East, East Asia, and North America, with domestic sulfur-based sulfuric acid capacity accounting for over 40%; since 2025, domestic and international sulfur (sulfuric acid) prices have continued to rise, putting pressure on the Company's phosphate fertilizer/phosphate chemicals costs (Source: Kailuan Securities 2026-06-10 industry in-depth report).
  • Raw materials requiring external purchase: ferrous sulfate (used to produce iron phosphate, source: 2026 semi-annual report management discussion); natural gas (one of the urea raw materials); methanol (externally purchased raw material for polyoxymethylene at the Chongqing base).
  • Cost-side assessment: The Company's core advantage is the vertical self-sufficiency of phosphate rock—synthetic ammonia—coal, significantly reducing the main raw material cost of phosphate fertilizers; however, it lacks pricing power over externally purchased raw materials such as sulfur, which is a passive item on the cost side. In H1 2026, the Company explicitly mentioned "facing the pressure of significant price increases in sulfur and other bulk raw materials... relying on the full industry chain advantages of phosphate rock self-sufficiency + mine-chemical integration to achieve counter-cyclical improvement in profitability" (Source: Jiemian News 2026-08-17).
  • Customer base: fertilizer distributors/agricultural materials groups (Hebei Agricultural Materials, Heilongjiang Beifeng, Sinochem Fertilizer, etc.) + export traders (NITRON GROUP, AGRIFIELDS DMCC, etc.) + agricultural product/soybean trading counterparties. Products are exported to more than 30 countries and regions, with phosphate fertilizer export volume accounting for over 20% of domestic exports (Source: Southwest Securities 2025-07-25).
  • Top five customers in the 2025 annual report totaled RMB 8.857 billion, accounting for 18.29%; top five suppliers totaled RMB 5.288 billion, accounting for 17.37%. (Source: China Securities Journal/CSI Intelligent Financial News 2026-03-24, based on the 2025 annual report; this data comes from a single source and could not be cross-verified, please refer to the latest annual report for specifics)
  • Top five customers in the 2024 annual report totaled RMB 16.476 billion, accounting for 26.77% (including major soybean trading customer SCENTS CEREALS 8.87%, Shandong Jiaguan Grain and Oil 8.63%, etc.); excluding the trading business, the top five customers for self-manufactured products were RMB 5.539 billion, accounting for 15.60% of self-manufactured product sales. (Source: 2024 Annual Report)
  • 2022 annual report: top five customers RMB 20.869 billion, accounting for 27.71%; top five suppliers RMB 15.601 billion, accounting for 28.47%. (Source: 2022 Annual Report)
  • Structural bargaining pressure: fertilizers are a policy-sensitive category for ensuring supply and stabilizing prices, with price increases subject to regulation; exports are affected by quotas/policy节奏 (Southwest Securities noted that the price difference between export and domestic sales is considerable but depends on the pace of export opening). No evidence of rigid annual price reduction clauses similar to automotive parts has been observed.
  • Accounts receivable turnover days are extremely low: approximately 6.29 days (as of March 2026, source: GuruFocus gurufocus.cn); the 2022 annual report disclosed an accounts receivable turnover ratio of 54.03x. The absolute amount of accounts receivable is small and declining: from RMB 834 million at end-2025 to RMB 521 million at end-June 2026 (down approximately 37.5%), a very low proportion relative to 2025 revenue of approximately RMB 38.6 billion. Settlement policy: new customers and small-to-medium customers are generally required to pay before delivery; long-term cooperative major customers are granted credit of 3-12 months (non-revolving); trading/soybean business mostly uses irrevocable letters of credit (Source: Company's 2022 private placement inquiry letter response). In H1 2026, bad debt provisions of RMB 324 million were made against accounts receivable of RMB 310 million (provision ratio 99.97%), mainly involving Henan Yuntianhua International Fertilizer (RMB 80.8847 million), Dalian Guangrong Trading (RMB 72.4474 million), and other long-term delinquent customers, with historical legacy bad debts essentially cleared (Source: Sina Finance 2026-08-17). Conclusion: The Company is in a relatively strong position at the working capital level; the main risk is not downstream receivables occupation, but historical trade bad debts and the low margin of the trading business.
  • Customer concentration is generally low and showing a declining trend: top five customers accounted for 27.71% in the 2022 annual report, 26.77% in the 2024 annual report, and 18.29% in the 2025 annual report. Excluding the trading business, the top five customers for self-manufactured products accounted for only 15.60% of self-manufactured product sales in 2024, a typical "broad dealer network + export" model. Note: The high concentration from 2022 to 2024 was mainly driven by the soybean/agricultural product trading business; the 18.29% for 2025 comes from a single financial media paraphrase and has not been cross-verified against the original annual report, so it is recommended to verify against the original annual report. On the supplier side: top five suppliers accounted for 17.37% in 2025 and 28.47% in 2022.

202315.17%7.95%Fertilizer/ammonium phosphate prices retreated, with both gross and net margins declining, but firm phosphate rock prices partially offset; net profit attributable to parent approximately RMB 4.52 billion
202417.50%9.81%Product mix optimization + high phosphate rock prices, gross margin rebounded; net profit attributable to parent approximately RMB 5.34 billion
202520.21%11.35%Against the backdrop of rising raw material prices such as sulfur, relying on phosphate rock self-sufficiency + mine-chemical integration + proactive scaling back of low-margin trading business, gross and net margins improved counter-cyclically; net profit attributable to parent approximately RMB 5.16 billion

The Company is positioned at the left-center of the "smile curve" — a highly resource-self-sufficient mid-to-upstream enterprise centered on upstream phosphate rock resources and mine-chemical integration (phosphate rock—synthetic ammonia—phosphate fertilizers/phosphate chemicals), rather than a brand-driven high-margin downstream enterprise. Its profit core comes from the cost advantage brought by resource self-sufficiency and phosphate fertilizer scale. Further gross margin improvement drivers are: resource value revaluation brought by high phosphate rock prices + scarcity of high-grade ore, product mix extension toward high value-added ends such as fine phosphate chemicals/fluorine chemicals/new energy materials (lithium iron phosphate), and proactive reduction of low-margin trading business. The gross margins of the phosphate chemicals/other segments (38.3%/39.1%) are significantly higher than fertilizers (21.2%) and trading (4.6%), and high value-added fine phosphate chemicals and new materials are the direction for lifting overall gross margin; compound fertilizers (9.4%) and new materials (8.5%) currently have relatively low gross margins.

The differences are due to rounding/minor methodological differences, with the main conclusion (Q2 net profit slightly up YoY, up approximately 6% QoQ) consistent. 2) Data source limitations: Some content of the 2026 semi-annual report body was obtained through East Money, Securities Star, and Sina reprint pages (the original is on the SSE), with individual figures subject to the reprinted text; for final confirmation, the SSE original PDF should prevail. 3) Regarding "earnings pre-announcements": As of the search date, no earnings pre-announcement for H1 2026 or full-year 2026 was found from Yuntianhua; the Company directly disclosed the semi-annual report. In the earnings pre-announcement details retrieved (East Money data center), one pre-announcement record published on 2025-01-08 can be seen (change range approximately 17.20%, "slight increase," corresponding to the same period last year of RMB 4.522 billion), which is earlier information (2024 annual results) and has not been further verified; please do not use it as 2026 data. 4) Capital/shareholder data sources are third-party (Hithink, eCompany, Zhengxing), are intraday/post-close measures, and are snapshots "as of" specific trading days (2026-09-11, etc.), which will change with trading days; northbound holding data is as of 2026-06-30. 5) The specific amounts of new related-party transactions and daily related-party transaction line items are omitted in various reprint pages (tables not fully displayed), and exact values were not obtained. 6) No announcements involving regulatory penalties, investigations, or major mergers and acquisitions (other than associate/project investments) concerning Yuntianhua in 2026 were retrieved; the existence of small announcements not covered by this round of search cannot be ruled out.

Yuntianhua (600096.SH) closed at RMB 29.31 on 2026-09-11, down 4.43% on the day, falling for 3 consecutive days after the 9-08 rebound, with a cumulative -8.15% over the past 3 days and -4.84% over the past 5 days. The closing price is below all major moving averages (MA5 29.42 to MA50 31.04), with short- to medium-term moving averages in a bearish alignment, and below the average chip cost of RMB 31.13 and the 20-day main-force cost of RMB 30.75; RSI, STOCH, Williams %R, and the Ultimate Oscillator all fall into oversold territory, but MACD, CCI, and ROC maintain sell signals, and ADX at 49.34 indicates relatively high downward trend strength, with the composite technical signal at "Strong Sell." On the capital flow side, main-force funds recorded a cumulative net outflow of approximately RMB 399 million over the past 10 days, with a single-day main-force net outflow of RMB 194 million on 9-11 (net proportion -14.77%), showing a "large orders out, small orders in" structure; margin financing balance of RMB 2.800 billion accounts for 5.24% of tradable market cap, higher than the market average, with a relatively high proportion of leveraged funds. In 2026, the stock price has fallen considerably from the February high of RMB 45.62 (approximately -33.51% year-to-date decline according to articles, for corroboration only). It is currently in a stage of being oversold but with a downward trend, and technicals are weak.

5.3 Short-Term Outlook (Next Week, Scenario Deduction, For Reference Only)

⚠️ Risk Warning: The following content is solely a subjective scenario deduction based on 2026-09-11 closing data and historical prices and capital flows, and does not constitute investment advice. Please do not trade based on it.

① Key Technical Levels

LevelRangeDescription
Short-term resistanceRMB 30.7~31.1This range converges MA20 (30.91), MA50 (31.04), the 20-day main-force cost of RMB 30.75, and the average chip cost of RMB 31.13; an effective recovery requires volume confirmation, otherwise it is regarded as rebound resistance.
First supportRMB 29.2~29.4Corresponds to the 9-11 low of RMB 29.23 and MA5 of RMB 29.42; if breached, the short-term weak pattern continues.
Strong supportRMB 27.6~28.0Reference is made to the 9-11 limit-down price of RMB 27.60 and the round-number level; after a breach, the lower range below would be targeted (52-week low of RMB 25.04, dated 2025-09-23).

② Next Week Scenarios (Subjective Weights, Not Statistical Probabilities)

  • Range-bound consolidation (relatively high weight, approximately 60% (subjective judgment)): The stock price repeatedly digests oversold indicators within the RMB 29.2~30.9 range, technical indicators repair from oversold while moving average pressure is not broken, and turnover remains at the recent normal level of RMB 1.2~1.4 billion; trigger conditions are no major negative news for the broader market and the phosphate chemicals sector, volume not significantly expanding, and oversold indicators (RSI 27.07, STOCHRSI 5.32) repairing but not recovering MA20.
  • Weaker downside (moderate weight (subjective judgment)): If turnover expands while the stock price breaks below RMB 29.2 (9-11 low/MA5) and effectively breaks down, the next observation range is RMB 27.6~28.0 (near the 9-11 limit-down price); trigger conditions are weakness in the phosphate chemicals sector, continued net outflow of main-force funds (cumulative approximately -RMB 399 million over the past 10 days), and passive deleveraging of margin positions (margin financing balance at 5.24% of tradable market cap, above the market average) forming negative feedback.
  • Rebound strengthening (relatively low weight (subjective judgment)): A technical rebound occurs with the support of oversold indicators; if the stock price recovers the RMB 30.7~31.1 resistance band (MA20/MA50/average chip cost convergence zone) with volume, the rebound space opens up; trigger conditions are a clear single-day increase in turnover, main-force funds shifting from net outflow to net inflow, or the emergence of sector/company-level catalytic news. The above weights are subjective empirical judgments based on current technicals and capital flows, not statistical probabilities.

③ Capital and Liquidity Background

Liquidity background (data sources verified one by one, not template-applied): 09-11 turnover rate was 2.44%, recently mostly in the 2.2%~2.8% range (09-09 was 2.21%); daily turnover was approximately RMB 1.27~1.7 billion (09-01 approximately RMB 1.7 billion, 09-02 RMB 1.449 billion, 09-09 RMB 1.269 billion, 09-11 RMB 1.314 billion). Total market cap of RMB 53.432 billion, fully tradable, a mid-cap stock with acceptable liquidity. On margin trading, 09-11 margin financing balance was RMB 2.800 billion, accounting for 5.24% of tradable market cap; 09-10 was RMB 2.847 billion (5.09%), 09-09 was RMB 2.836 billion (4.92%), 09-08 was RMB 2.913 billion (5.01%); 09-11 margin net purchase was -RMB 46.59 million, with margin positions turning to reduction; securities lending balance was RMB 81.82 million; Qiangu Qianping noted a margin financing/securities lending difference of RMB 2.718 billion, accounting for 5.09% of tradable shares, higher than the market average of 3.95%, with a relatively high proportion of leveraged funds, prone to passive deleveraging and amplified volatility during declines. Shareholder concentration background: According to the hx168 F10 page, corresponding to the 2026 semi-annual report (reporting period 2026-06-30, with a lag of more than one quarter, during which the structure may have changed): Yuntianhua Group Co., Ltd. 38.36% (controlling shareholder, state-owned background, unchanged), Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company Limited 4.80% (reduced), Zhao Zhichao (natural person) 1.73% (increased), Penghua CSI Subdivided Chemicals Industry Theme ETF 0.72% (reduced), SSE Dividend ETF 0.71% (increased), Beijing Dadi Yuantong (Group) Co., Ltd. 0.47% (new entrant); number of shareholders was 162,300, down 5,500 from the previous period, with average holdings per person of 11,200 shares. The structure shows "concentrated controlling shareholder + relatively light institutional holdings in the secondary market," with no mainstream long-term institutions such as social security or QFII among the top ten; public fund exposure is mainly small-scale passive ETFs; the above is a point-in-time figure as of 2026-06-30, and the real-time chip structure as of 2026-09-11 has no public source and cannot be confirmed; in addition, there are contradictions between sources regarding northbound holding measures (see below). Capital flow measure note: East Money's 09-11 main-force net outflow of -RMB 194 million and Sina's -RMB 222.7 million have a discrepancy in the RMB 10-20 million range (classification method difference, a normal measure difference, listed for reference); the 9-01 main-force measure was not adopted due to contradictions between Nanfang Caifu (net inflow RMB 96.3454 million) and wlstock (net outflow -RMB 44 million); northbound holdings of 146 million shares (approximately 8% of total share capital) are inconsistent with the semi-annual report's Hong Kong Securities Clearing 4.80% (different cutoff dates/statistical measures), for directional reference only.

Volume confirmation signal: If single-day turnover continuously expands to above RMB 1.5 billion (clearly above the recent normal level of RMB 1.27~1.4 billion), it can be regarded as an observation signal of capital re-entry; conversely, if turnover during a rebound remains at or below the RMB 1.3 billion level, the sustainability of the rebound is questionable.

④ Points of Attention (Observation Ideas Only, Not Trading Instructions)

  • Observe whether the two ranges of RMB 29.2~29.4 (first support, 9-11 low of RMB 29.23 / MA5 29.42) and RMB 30.7~31.1 (short-term resistance, MA20/MA50/average chip cost convergence zone) can be effectively broken through or breached.
  • Observe whether single-day turnover can expand to above RMB 1.5 billion, as a volume confirmation reference for capital entry or rebound sustainability.
  • Observe whether main-force net flow can shift from continuous net outflow (cumulative approximately -RMB 399 million over the past 10 days) to net inflow, and the direction of change in the margin financing balance (RMB 2.800 billion on 09-11, accounting for 5.24% of tradable market cap).
  • The above levels and volumes are technical observation ideas based on 2026-09-11 closing data, not trading instructions; please make independent judgments in light of the latest market information.

The above scenario deduction is based on 2026-09-11 closing data and historical prices and technical indicator calculations. Short-term stock prices will also be disturbed by multiple factors such as news, capital flows, and the broader market environment. Technical indicators themselves have lag and limitations, do not constitute a guarantee of future actual trends, and do not constitute buy or sell recommendations. Please make independent judgments in light of the latest market information and bear investment risks yourself.

6. Industry Landscape and Competitor Analysis

6.1 Industry Status

Phosphate rock is a strategic non-renewable mineral, with global reserves of approximately 72 billion tonnes; China's identified phosphate rock reserves are 3.441 billion tonnes (Ministry of Natural Resources, "China Mineral Resources Report (2024)"), the second largest globally; under the USGS measure, China's phosphate rock reserves in 2025 were approximately 3.4 billion tonnes (YoY -8.1%). Resources are concentrated in North Africa, the Middle East, North America, and southwestern China. Domestic phosphate rock output in 2025 was 121.47 million tonnes, YoY +7.0% (National Bureau of Statistics); phosphate rock has been included in the national strategic mineral catalogue, with total mining volume regulation and lengthened approval cycles for new mines. Phosphate fertilizers account for approximately 60% of phosphate rock demand. Industry trend: dual-driven by "rigid agricultural demand + new energy storage," with leaders extending from traditional mining to lithium iron phosphate, high-purity phosphates, and electronic-grade phosphorus chemicals, and "mining, beneficiation, processing" integrated enterprises having the most solid barriers (Kailuan Securities 2026-06-10).

6.2 Competitive Landscape

  • High concentration in the phosphate fertilizer industry: diammonium phosphate CR5 capacity accounts for approximately 71%, agricultural monoammonium phosphate CR5 approximately 30% — high-concentration phosphate fertilizers are concentrated, while monoammonium is relatively dispersed.
  • 2025 phosphate fertilizer output TOP10 totaled 11.846 million tonnes P2O5 equivalent, accounting for 63.4% of the national total; diammonium phosphate output TOP10 totaled 13.77 million tonnes physical, accounting for 94.6%; the four provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, and Hubei contributed approximately 88% of national phosphate fertilizer output. (Source: China Phosphate Compound Fertilizer Industry Association's "2025 China Phosphate Compound Fertilizer Industry Big Data" released in Jingmen on 2026-04-22)
  • 2025 phosphate fertilizer output TOP10 (P2O5 equivalent) ranking: 1 Yunnan Yuntianhua Group, 2 Guizhou Phosphorus Chemical (Group), 3 Xinyangfeng, 4 Hubei Yihua, 5 Hubei Xiangyun, 6 Yunnan Xiangfeng, 7 Yuntu Holdings, 8 Hubei Sanning, 9 Sichuan Longmang, 10 Anhui Liuguo. Monoammonium phosphate TOP1 = Xinyangfeng; diammonium phosphate TOP1 = Yunnan Yuntianhua Group.
  • Company capacity measure: phosphate fertilizer capacity of 5.55 million tonnes/year (the Company claims "second nationally, fourth globally"), with 5.05 million tonnes of various phosphate fertilizers produced in 2024; total fertilizer capacity of 10 million tonnes/year (of which urea 2.6 million tonnes/year, phosphate fertilizers 5.55 million tonnes/year, compound fertilizers 1.85 million tonnes/year). Urea market share in Yunnan is approximately 50%.
  • ⚠️ Measure conflict note: China Business Industry Research Institute/some industry articles state that "Yuntianhua's phosphate fertilizer capacity is approximately 9 million tonnes/year, first globally, and phosphate rock reserves of 1.3 billion tonnes rank first domestically" — suspected to be Yuntianhua Group's measure rather than the listed company's measure, not adopted as listed company data; it is recommended to use the annual report's "5.55 million tonnes/year" and "nearly 800 million tonnes" and clearly label the measure. Cailian Press listed "total fertilizer capacity of 8.76 million tonnes/year" as an older or different statistical measure; the more recent 10 million tonnes measure is adopted.

6.3 Main Competitors

CompanyPositioningDescription
Xingfa Group (600141)Fine phosphate chemicals leaderPhosphate rock reserves of approximately 800 million tonnes, phosphate rock capacity of 585,000 tonnes/year; electronic-grade phosphoric acid accounts for approximately 70% of the domestic share, chip etching liquid broke international monopoly; ammonium phosphate capacity of 1 million tonnes/year. More downstream high-end fine phosphate chemicals/semiconductor materials, with high unit value-added and smaller phosphate fertilizer scale than Yuntianhua.
Hubei Yihua (000422)Major diammonium phosphate producer + new energy transitionDiammonium phosphate capacity of 1.26 million tonnes/year (2024 output 1.39 million tonnes), Jiangjiadun phosphate mine reserves of approximately 130 million tonnes; joint venture with CATL to deploy 300,000 tonnes of lithium iron phosphate, outstanding in cost control and new energy transition. Both nitrogen/phosphorus fertilizers + new energy, with phosphate rock self-sufficiency and scale weaker than Yuntianhua.
Xinyangfeng (000902)Phosphate compound fertilizer leader, channel-orientedCompound fertilizer production and sales have ranked first nationally for many consecutive years, monoammonium phosphate production and sales among the top three nationally, monoammonium phosphate capacity of 1.85 million tonnes (agricultural grade 170 + industrial grade 15), 2024 phosphate fertilizer output of 1.9789 million tonnes; acquired Zhuxi Mining to extend upstream to phosphate rock. More terminal compound fertilizer channel-oriented, with lower phosphate rock self-sufficiency and leaning toward downstream brand channels.
Guizhou Phosphorus Chemical (Group) (not separately listed)One of the resource + scale phosphate fertilizer/phosphate chemicals duopolyPhosphate fertilizer output second nationally, diammonium phosphate output among the top, belonging to the same "resource + scale" duopoly as Yuntianhua, mainly competing in phosphate fertilizers/phosphate chemicals.
Yuntu Holdings (002539) / Chuanheng Co. (002895) / Chuanfa LongmangFollowers in iron phosphate/new energy materials and phosphate rock extension directionKailuan Securities recommended/beneficiary target combination, deploying in iron phosphate and phosphate rock extension directions.

Among comparable companies, Yuntianhua leads in phosphate rock resource reserves and phosphate fertilizer scale (proprietary phosphate rock of nearly 800 million tonnes, phosphate fertilizer capacity of 5.55 million tonnes/year, total fertilizer capacity of 10 million tonnes/year), with synthetic ammonia self-sufficiency rate of over 97% and supporting proprietary coal mines, and the highest degree of "mine-chemical integration" vertical integration among comparable companies. Compared with Xingfa Group, it is more downstream fine phosphate chemicals/semiconductor materials with higher unit value-added but smaller phosphate fertilizer scale; compared with Hubei Yihua, its new energy transition is outstanding but phosphate rock self-sufficiency and scale are weaker than Yuntianhua; compared with Xinyangfeng, its downstream brand channels are stronger but phosphate rock self-sufficiency is lower. Yuntianhua's current gross margin level (20.21% in 2025) is still below the phosphate chemicals/new materials segment (38%-39%), and extending the product mix toward the high value-added end is the main direction for gross margin improvement.

7. Risk Warnings

  • Risk of continued price increases in externally purchased raw materials such as sulfur: Sulfur needs to be externally purchased by the Company and the Company is a price taker; China's sulfur-based sulfuric acid capacity accounts for over 40% and mainly relies on imports. Since 2025, domestic and international sulfur (sulfuric acid) prices have continued to rise. In H1 2026, the Company explicitly mentioned "the pressure of significant price increases in sulfur and other bulk raw materials." If prices continue to rise, it will directly erode the gross margin of the phosphate fertilizer and phosphate chemicals segments, and the Company cannot fully offset this cost item through phosphate rock self-sufficiency.
  • Risk of fertilizer supply guarantee and price stabilization and export policy: Phosphate fertilizers are a policy-sensitive category for ensuring supply and stabilizing prices, with price increases subject to regulation, and exports affected by quotas and policy pace (Southwest Securities noted that the price difference between export and domestic sales is considerable but depends on the pace of export opening). If export quotas tighten or domestic price regulation intensifies, the Company's phosphate fertilizer sales volume and price elasticity will be constrained, and the scale advantage of phosphate fertilizer exports accounting for over 20% of domestic exports may not be fully converted into profit.
  • Risk of doubling of short-term borrowings and rising debt repayment pressure: In H1 2026, the Company's short-term borrowings doubled, while operating cash flow fell 30.16% YoY. The research minutes noted that "short-term debt repayment pressure has risen significantly." Against the backdrop of a debt ratio of 47.48% at end-June 2026, if operating cash flow continues to be under pressure or the financing environment tightens, financial expenses and refinancing pressure will increase.
  • Risk of passive deleveraging due to a relatively high proportion of leveraged funds: As of September 11, 2026, the margin financing balance was RMB 2.800 billion, accounting for 5.24% of tradable market cap, higher than the market average of approximately 3.95%; main-force funds recorded a cumulative net outflow of approximately RMB 399 million over the past 10 days, and a single-day main-force net outflow of approximately RMB 194 million on September 11. During a stock price decline, margin positions may be passively reduced, forming negative feedback and amplifying volatility.
  • Risk of historical trade bad debts and trading business: In H1 2026, bad debt provisions of RMB 324 million were made against accounts receivable of RMB 310 million (provision ratio 99.97%), mainly involving Henan Yuntianhua International Fertilizer (RMB 80.8847 million), Dalian Guangrong Trading (RMB 72.4474 million), and other long-term delinquent customers; controlled subsidiary Yuntianhua Trading's lawsuit against Anshun Hongsheng Chemical for coal receivable payments of RMB 41.2076 million (amount involved RMB 57.3673 million) has been fully provided for as bad debt, and Hongsheng Chemical has entered bankruptcy reorganization. The trading and logistics segment's H1 2026 gross margin was only 4.56%, and existing risks still need to be continuously cleared.
  • Risk of low-margin business drag and uncertainty in product mix optimization: Compound fertilizer gross margin of 9.38%, new materials industry gross margin of 8.54%, and trading and logistics gross margin of 4.56% are all significantly lower than phosphate chemicals (38.32%). If the construction and profit contribution of high value-added fine phosphate chemicals, fluorine chemicals, and new energy materials projects (200,000 tonnes/year iron phosphate precursor, 150,000 tonnes/year lithium iron phosphate, 100,000 tonnes/year high-end copolymerized polyoxymethylene resin, etc.) fall short of expectations, the sustainability of overall gross margin improvement will be constrained.
  • Risk of data measure differences and some key information not cross-verified: The top five customers' share in the annual report was 18.29% in 2025 (source: single financial media paraphrase, not cross-verified against the original annual report); some industry articles state the Company's phosphate fertilizer capacity is approximately 9 million tonnes/year and phosphate rock reserves of 1.3 billion tonnes (suspected to be Yuntianhua Group's measure rather than the listed company's measure), conflicting with the annual report's "5.55 million tonnes/year" and "nearly 800 million tonnes"; northbound holding measures also conflict between different sources (146 million shares, approximately 8% of total share capital, inconsistent with the semi-annual report's Hong Kong Securities Clearing 4.80%). Investors should refer to the Company's annual report and SSE original text.

8. Conclusion and Outlook

At the growth logic level, the Company's core support comes from phosphate rock resource self-sufficiency and "mine-chemical integration" vertical integration: proprietary phosphate rock of nearly 800 million tonnes, synthetic ammonia self-sufficiency rate of over 97%, and supporting coal mines enable it to achieve counter-cyclical improvement in gross and net margins (20.21% and 11.35% respectively in 2025) during periods of rising prices for externally purchased raw materials such as sulfur, and support 6.14% net profit growth in H1 2026 despite an 8.92% revenue decline. In terms of product mix, phosphate chemicals (gross margin 38.32%) is significantly higher than fertilizers (21.19%) and trading (4.56%); proactively scaling back the low-margin trading and logistics business and extending toward fine phosphate chemicals and new materials is the main path to raising overall gross margin; at the same time, the project initiation of the Zhenxiong Wanchang phosphate mine (resources of 2.438 billion tonnes, 35% associate stake) mining project, Tianju Xincai's 100,000 tonnes/year high-end copolymerized polyoxymethylene resin project (investment of RMB 1.857 billion), Juneng Xincai's 200,000 tonnes/year iron phosphate precursor, and Youtian Technology's 150,000 tonnes/year lithium iron phosphate, among other layouts, constitute medium- to long-term resource and capacity reserves.

At the risk and constraint level, the first is the passive item on the cost side — sulfur, as a key input requiring external purchase and lacking pricing power, with continued price increases putting pressure on phosphate fertilizer/phosphate chemicals costs, which the Company also explicitly mentioned in H1 2026; the second is price and policy constraints — fertilizers are a policy-sensitive category for ensuring supply and stabilizing prices, with price increases subject to regulation and exports affected by quotas/policy pace; the third is changes in the financial structure — in H1 2026, short-term borrowings doubled and operating cash flow fell 30.16% YoY, with short-term debt repayment pressure rising significantly, and on September 11, the margin financing balance of RMB 2.800 billion accounted for 5.24% of tradable market cap, higher than the market average, with a relatively high proportion of leveraged funds, prone to passive deleveraging and amplified volatility during declines.

In summary, the Company presents characteristics of "resource self-sufficiency supporting profit resilience, but externally purchased raw materials and financial leverage constituting constraints." The sustainability of its gross margin improvement depends on phosphate rock prices remaining high, whether sulfur costs can be partially offset through平价 sulfur or sulfur cycle projects, and whether high value-added fine phosphate chemicals/new materials projects can contribute incremental volume on schedule; on the technical side, it is currently in an oversold but downward-trending stage in the short term, and whether it can effectively recover the RMB 30.7~31.1 resistance band (MA20/MA50 and average chip cost convergence zone) or breach the RMB 29.2~29.4 first support can be used as a reference for observing short-term strength. The above does not constitute any buy or sell recommendation.
