Aluminum prices is accelerated，wait for the better performance

Considering the price of aluminum has entered a rapid rise in the channel, the performance of the company is expected to accelerate the release, raised the 2018/2019 pre EPS to 0.58/0.68 yuan (0.41/0.48 yuan), the corresponding target price raised to 15.7 yuan (corresponding to 27 times 2018 PE), to maintain overweight rating.

Aluminum prices accelerated rise, alumina self-sufficiency rate is further improved, performance is expected to be released in full: the recent State Council explicitly required to promote the production of electrolytic aluminum reduction means for change will firmly push forward, but there are still many subsequent aspect: the capacity to enter the special checks, supervise the rectification stage is expected to accelerate, "2+26" or the actual effect of limited production far exceeding market expectations etc.. While aluminum prices have accelerated rise into the channel of the Yangtze River, the spot price has about 16500 yuan / ton rose sharply compared with the beginning of 27.8%, from the cost side, the company Wenshan two 600 thousand tons / year alumina project put into operation soon, when the alumina self-sufficiency rate will increase to about 60%, is expected to significantly enhance the ability to control costs. Rapid rise in aluminum prices superimposed cost decline is expected in the second half of the company's performance is expected to accelerate release.
