On the news front, on November 15, the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation issued an announcement on "Adjusting Export Tax Rebate Policies," proposing to reduce the export tax rebate rate for certain products, including photovoltaics (batteries and modules), from 13% to 9% starting December 1, 2024. citic sec believes that while the reduction in photovoltaic export tax rebate rates may cause a short-term pulse impact on manufacturers' profitability, the actual impact is minor, and leading manufacturers have a strong ability to push product pricing downstream, stabilizing international photovoltaic product prices and avoiding internal competition externalization, accelerating the clearing of backward production capacity in the industry, and achieving high-quality development, which is bullish for leading companies to strengthen long-term advantages.
haitong int'l pointed out that 52 photovoltaic companies were selected as a sample, with the total net income attributable to shareholders in the sector for Q2 and Q3 of 2024 being -2.811 billion yuan and 0.669 billion yuan respectively, showing a quarter-on-quarter improvement in Q3; according to Infolink Consulting, polysilicon prices began to stabilize and recover in Q2. Considering the trends in corporate profits and industry chain price changes, the industry entered a downward cycle starting from Q3 2022, and the industry is expected to reach the bottom of the cycle in Q2 and Q3 of 2024. HSBC Research published a report indicating that the worst period for the solar energy industry has largely passed, with a bullish outlook on gcl tech and flat glass group's market leadership.
