Starting from March, TINCI has suspended production for maintenance, and the industry is actively destocking, with current inventory dropping to about one week, a historical low. Coupled with the rise in lithium carbonate prices, the cost of hexafluorine's tail-end production capacity has increased to 80,000-90,000, significantly compressing profits at the current spot price of 105,000. In the rising channel of lithium carbonate, cost pressure is significant, and mainstream companies in the industry have strong demands for price increases. Under the price of 120,000 for hexafluorine and 150,000 for lithium carbonate, TINCI is expected to achieve 7 billion, and Tianji is expected to achieve 1.5 billion, currently around 14x. Under the price of 150,000 for hexafluorine and 180,000 for lithium carbonate, TINCI is expected to achieve 9 billion, and Tianji is expected to achieve 2 billion, currently only 10x, indicating significant profit elasticity. Solvents and by-products such as propylene glycol have entered a price increase channel. Due to rising oil prices, EC has increased from 4,000 to 7,000-7,500, DMC has risen from 4,500 to 5,800-6,200, and EMC has increased by 500-1,000. Currently, the unit profit of EC has risen to around 1,000-1,500, with still room for price increases. Propylene glycol has shifted from breakeven to a profit of 4,000-5,000, and there is still room for price increases in the future.
