Magnesium aluminum alloy, liquid metal, medical magnesium industry leader in the field. The company has a complete magnesium-aluminum alloy industry chain, based on the main industry, card layout of liquid metal, medical magnesium field, to build a new growth point of the company. Its Yihao metal and magnesium an medical treatment are the "main battlefield" of the company's efforts in liquid metal and medical magnesium materials.

Liquid metal will bring the third material industry revolution, the company holds the formula, die-casting core patents. Liquid metal (also known as amorphous alloy) has excellent physical and chemical properties, such as high strength, high hardness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance. with the progress of die casting technology, liquid metal (also known as amorphous alloy) has the potential of mass production and one-time forming ability of complex structure. the advantage of cost efficiency is significant. The company holds the core patents of liquid metal formula and process equipment. LQMT (USA), a subsidiary of Hong Kong liquid Metals Co., Ltd., which is 100% controlled by the chairman, works in synergy with the company to consolidate its leading position in liquid metals. Zirconium-based liquid metal material has been officially selected as an important material of Mate Xs hinges for Huawei's second-generation folding screen phones. with the application and promotion of zirconium-based metals, the company has a broad market.

Biodegradable medical magnesium alloy benefits orthopedic patients, and the process of clinical and industrialization is advancing steadily. Magnesium is a major element in the human body, which can be degraded and absorbed after implantation into the human body, avoiding the pain and risk of secondary operation, and its mechanical properties are close to those of human bone tissue, and magnesium ions can promote bone formation and accelerate osteogenesis, and the cost is lower than that of traditional titanium alloy materials. therefore, it has obvious advantages in orthopaedic application. The company's high-purity magnesium bone nail domestic clinical trials have been steadily promoted, and have successfully obtained the EU CE certification and access to the EU market, which will open the blue ocean market of tens of billions of dollars in the near future.

New energy vehicles accelerate the lightweight process of cars, and join hands with Yunhai Metal to create the layout of aluminum-magnesium alloy "Yangtze River Delta + Pearl River Delta". Magnesium-aluminum alloy is a lightweight structural material for automobiles. at present, there are many problems in new energy vehicles, such as overweight, short mileage and so on. increasing the proportion of lightweight materials is an effective way to improve the mileage of new energy vehicles. the development of new energy vehicle industry, environmental protection and other national policies will accelerate the process of automobile lightweight. In 2020, the company completed the second phase of the Chaohu Yi'an Yunhai Light Alloy Precision Die casting production Base Project (the first phase was put into production in 2017), realizing the stable supply of raw materials and the location advantage of the double center layout of "Pearl River Delta + Yangtze River Delta". It has entered the supply chain of domestic and foreign well-known customers such as BYD and Tesla.

Investment suggestion: the company's liquid alloy holds the core formula and equipment patents, and zirconium-based liquid metal cutting into the core mobile phone manufacturer's supply chain is expected to open the business profit growth point for the company; on the other hand, the company has accumulated rich experience and R & D advantages in new energy vehicle lightweight materials, and the products have successfully entered the supply chain of well-known customers at home and abroad, and the follow-up is expected to enjoy market incremental benefits. The company has the advantages of medical magnesium alloy industrialization accumulation and first-in, and the industrial value of magnesium alloy is expected to be realized after medical clinical promotion. We estimate that the company's net profit from 2021 to 2023 will be 0.41,0.55 and 74 million yuan respectively, corresponding to 107.4, 80.0,59.1 times of PE. Considering that the company's current business is still in the early promotion stage and the subsequent performance growth is still uncertain, the company will be given a "hold" rating for the first time.

Risk tips: related new material orders are lower than expected; liquid metal industrialization is not as expected; magnesium and aluminum alloy main business performance is lower than expected; clinical application of medical magnesium alloy is slower than expected.

Magnesium Market Breaks Downtrend as Coal Prices Surge, Producers Face Rising Costs

As August began, the magnesium market appeared trapped in a prolonged stalemate.The production-cut tailwinds from July faded, and primary magnesium supply steadily recovered. Meanwhile, overlapping with the overseas summer lull and the domestic die-casting off-season, downstream orders were scarce and purchasing sentiment hit rock bottom.

Coal Surge Ignites Magnesium Market, Two-Month Consolidation Finally Breaks, Production Cuts and Destocking Signal Next Rally [SMM Analysis]

[SMM Magnesium Market Analysis: Coal Price Surge Ignites Magnesium Market, Two-Month Consolidation Finally Breaks Out, Production Cuts and Destocking Set Stage for Next Rally] Entering August, the magnesium market seemed to have fallen into a prolonged stalemate. The dividend from July production cuts faded, primary magnesium supply steadily recovered, while summer breaks outside China combined with the domestic die-casting off-season left downstream orders sparse and purchasing sentiment at a freezing point. With both supply and demand weak, magnesium prices were locked firmly in a narrow range of 15,800-15,950 yuan/mt, with little room to move either way. In mid-to-late August, prices even dipped to 15,750 yuan/mt at one point, with the market broadly taking a wait-and-see stance. When this bottom-level consolidation, already lasting two months, would see a turning point remained unknown.

Cost-Driven Magnesium Prices Shot Up, Weak Demand Makes Rally Unsustainable [SMM Magnesium Weekly Review]

[SMM Magnesium Weekly Review: Cost Push Drives Magnesium Prices Up, Weak Demand Limits Gains] This week, mainstream quotations for 99.90% magnesium ingot in major production areas stood at 16,050-16,150 yuan/mt, up 300 yuan/mt WoW, with FOB prices at $2,280-2,380/mt and an average of $2,330/mt. Magnesium ingot prices shot up during the week, driven by rising coal and ferrosilicon costs, coupled with some restocking at higher prices in foreign trade. However, the overall market remained characterized by strong supply and weak demand, with sluggish transactions at high prices and signs of a pullback emerging in the latter part of the week. Overseas demand has not shown any substantial recovery, with market activity dominated by tentative inquiries, limited actual order volumes, and evident buyer pressure for lower prices, keeping trading sluggish. Downstream magnesium powder and magnesium alloy prices followed the cost-driven increase in magnesium ingot, but end-use demand for magnesium powder remained weak, with some enterprises cutting production or suspending operations, exports constrained, and inventory levels rising. Spot inventory of magnesium alloy was ample, competition among peers was intense, and die-casting enterprises faced insufficient orders and declining operating rates, keeping processing fees under pressure. In the short term, cost support and weak demand are locked in a tug-of-war, and the upward momentum in magnesium prices is losing steam, with the market likely to return to consolidation. Going forward, close attention should be paid to the release of domestic and overseas orders.
