金吾财讯 | 招银国际表示,由于核电和天然铀矿具备长周期属性,因此需求端和供给端的发展已有相对确定的规划。该行判断,天然铀价格需保持高企才足以激励更多铀矿开发,以满足(1)人工智能、(2)全球减碳、(3)能源自主,以及(4)小型模块化核电(SMR)渐趋普及的因素下全球电力需求的大幅提升。中广核矿业(01164,买入)和Cameco(CCJ US,未评级)将会成为主要受惠者。该行提到,全球核电重回增长通道。基于在建项目的建设进度,同时考虑美国和日本潜在的复工项目,预计2024E-29E每年新增核电机组分别达7、10、9、15、8和8座,平均每年新增核电装机容量将达到11GW,远超1988-23年每年平均的2.1GW。年末核电机组净容量将从2024年的376GW上升至2029年的432GW。如果仅考虑在建项目和计划项目,该行预计2040年核电容量将达500GW,对应天然铀需求92,000tU(2024年预计为61,586tU)。上述的基础情景测算可以理解为未来核电发展的“下限”情况,实际发展情况可能更为乐观。另外,该行预计2028年前天然铀供需缺口仍然较大,将继续支持铀价。该行测算2024-2028年的一级供需缺口将分别达到12,433tU、9,763tU、7,738tU、4,371tU和1,228tU。总体供需失衡的情况虽相对于前几年有所缓解,但由于供需缺口将持续消耗二级供应,加上一级供应持续受到种种因素的干扰,供需缺口或有机会再度扩大。
