[northeast Securities: the high prosperity of electric vehicles continues, it is difficult to alleviate the contradiction between supply and demand of lithium mines] Northeast Securities pointed out that sales of new energy vehicles continued to grow high in April compared with the same period last year, and continue to be optimistic about the subdivision track of lithium mines. Lithium concentrate was flat at $610 a tonne last week. In terms of lithium salts, lithium carbonate was unchanged at 89000 yuan / ton, while lithium hydroxide rose 2.4% to 86000 yuan / ton. 1) the sales of electric vehicles continue to be hot, and the supply and demand of the industry is tight. 2) in this business cycle, lithium ore is expected to become the most profitable subdivision: (1) the relative lithium salt of lithium concentrate is obviously stagnant in the early stage, and the driving force for subsequent replenishment is sufficient; (2) the supply concentration of lithium resources continues to increase, and the upstream bargaining power is significantly enhanced, and the profit distribution of the industrial chain may tilt upward; under the background of the game among three big countries, the development of local resources is expected to accelerate, and China's lithium resources will usher in the opportunity of revaluation. Related targets: Rongjie shares (sitting on the best lithium mine in Asia, the world's leading mining cost, mining capacity is expected to continue to release); Koda manufacturing, Zang GE holding; it is recommended to pay attention to the targets with high self-sufficiency rate of other resources: Ganfeng lithium industry, Tianqi lithium industry, Yongxing materials, Shengxin lithium energy, Ya Hua Group, Tianhua Chaojing, etc.
