Core Insights - The source of company growth lies in the alignment between industry characteristics and its own competitive strengths [1] Group 1: Investment Recommendations - Excess profits of leading companies in the export chain often stem from precise segmentation within the industry, cost control know-how, and differentiated product and channel operation capabilities [2] - In growth sectors, leading companies in niche markets can more easily differentiate themselves, forming alpha. For example, in niche markets like artificial turf and pulp molding, despite high industry growth rates, the limited market capacity and few new entrants allow leading companies to achieve cost advantages, with market shares often exceeding 20% and maintaining high profitability (net profit margin of 15%-20%, ROE over 20%) [2] - In mature sectors, alpha is difficult to manifest on the cost side; excess capabilities come from branding, product innovation, and channel strategies.
