The profit margin improved as cost pressures eased, with the profit rate rising by 4.6 percentage points to -4.4% [3][8][55] - The "anti-involution" policy is expected to limit the downward space for profits, as it helps alleviate cost pressures and supports the recovery of domestic demand [4][24][56] Revenue and Profit Analysis - In June, industrial enterprises' revenue growth increased by 0.8 percentage points to 1.6% year-on-year, with significant contributions from the instrumentation, automotive, and petroleum coal processing sectors, which saw increases of 7.2, 4.2, and 3.6 percentage points respectively [5][34][57] - The actual revenue growth for the consumer manufacturing chain rose by 1 percentage point to 8.8% due to strong export support, while the coal and metallurgy chains experienced a decline in revenue growth, falling by 0.3 percentage points to -0.9% [4][20][56] Cost Structure and Inventory - The cost rate for industrial enterprises in June was 85.2%, down 32.3 basis points year-on-year, with significant reductions in the petrochemical chain's cost rate, which fell by 37.5 basis points to -0.1% [3][13][55] - Actual inventory growth saw a slight increase, with nominal inventory declining by 0.4 percentage points to 3.1% year-on-year, while actual inventory rose by 0.3 percentage points to 7.3% [42][57] Future Outlook - The ongoing "anti-involution" policy is anticipated to enhance capacity utilization and improve corporate profitability, alongside a continuous recovery in domestic demand, indicating a long-term upward trend in corporate profits [4][24][56] - Attention should be paid to the potential negative impact of "super-inflation" in upstream prices on corporate profitability, as downstream sectors face dual pressures from rigid and elastic costs [4][24][56]
