Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the improvement in the competitive landscape of small home appliances and the leadership of major players in the white and black appliance sectors, highlighting growth opportunities and market dynamics [1][3]. Group 1: Investment Recommendations - Two main investment themes are suggested: 1) The improvement in the competitive landscape of small home appliances is expected to bring profit elasticity, particularly in the robotic vacuum cleaner sector, which has high growth potential and low penetration rates. The industry is anticipated to stabilize after a period of competition and the leading companies are expected to see profit improvements [3]. 2) The concentration of market share among leading companies and their high dividend yields provide a stable investment option. Major brands are leading the current price competition, resulting in increased industry concentration. The global production capacity of leading home appliance manufacturers is well-established, allowing them to adjust production plans based on tax rate changes [3]. Group 2: Domestic and Export Performance - Domestic sales have seen growth driven by government subsidies, with various categories achieving double-digit growth despite some limitations in Q2. The sales growth during the 618 shopping festival showed significant increases in categories such as cleaning appliances (+26%), water appliances (+22%), and kitchen small appliances (+22%) [4]. - Export performance in Q2 was negatively impacted by uncertainties in tariff policies, leading to a reduction in shipment volumes. However, as tariff policies become clearer, a gradual recovery in export performance is expected in subsequent quarters [4]. Group 3: Segment Growth Expectations - The expected growth ranking for different segments of the home appliance industry is as follows: white appliances > cleaning appliances > black appliances > small kitchen appliances > components > personal care appliances > large kitchen appliances [5].

Core Viewpoint - The report suggests that the decline in electricity prices is narrowing while the decline in coal prices is expanding, leading to further growth in thermal power performance compared to Q1. However, the performance of clean energy may be under pressure due to overall resource scarcity. The report maintains a "buy" rating for the sector [1]. Group 1: Electricity and Coal Prices - In Q2 2025, the average electricity price in Guangdong was 0.374 yuan/kWh, a decrease of 0.046 yuan/kWh year-on-year, while the average coal price was 633 yuan/ton, down 214 yuan/ton year-on-year [2]. - The national electricity generation in April and May was 449.1 billion kWh and 461.5 billion kWh, showing a year-on-year change of -2.3% and +1.2%, respectively, with thermal power growth turning positive in May [2]. Group 2: Hydropower Performance - In Q2 2025, the inflow and outflow of the Three Gorges Reservoir were 1.2 and 1.0 million cubic meters per second, representing a year-on-year decrease of 12.6% and 17.1%, respectively [3]. - The national electricity generation from hydropower in April and May was 78.6 billion kWh and 99.1 billion kWh, with year-on-year changes of -6.5% and -14.3% [3].

Group 4: Nuclear Power Developments - In April, the State Council approved 10 new nuclear power units, indicating a normalization of approvals [4]. - In Q2 2025, nuclear power generation in China was 50.4 billion kWh, an increase of 10.8% year-on-year, primarily due to a low base from the previous year [4].

而且我们认为，要真正破解内卷困局，扩内需政策的协同发力不可或缺。 事实上，内卷现象的根源之一在 于有效需求不足。当前经济运行还面临内外部共同压力：关税局势和外需回暖的不确定性持续存在、以旧 换新政策可能透支部分后续消费需求、地产销售投资端的调整还在持续。如果同时进行单纯的去产能，反 而可能带来工业生产放缓、就业压力加剧等影响。由此，稳经济、化解内卷还需要内需政策的接续支持。 在具体操作上，仍需继续关注经济基本面走势，即若出口、制造业 PMI 、地产等数据明显走弱，货币财 政政策加码概率可能大大增加。 风险提示： 房地产走势不确定性仍存；政策力度不及预期。 报告导读： 今年以来，"以旧换新"补贴政策持续支撑耐用消费品价格，带动核心 CPI 同 比小幅修复，而其中服务价格方面仍有待提振，指向了居民部门资产负债表的修复进展有 限，需要后续稳增长政策接续。 6 月 CPI 同比转正。 食品价格拖累减弱；国际油价上涨输入带动能源价格；核心 CPI 环比持平，核心消 费品 CPI 环比表现显著好于 2023 、 2024 年，" 618 "提前促销影响过去后，"以旧换新"政策支持的相 关品类价格仍相对偏强，而服务相关价格 ...

Group 1 - The real estate market remains weak, impacting construction demand, but there is an expectation of supply tightening in cyclical industries due to government policies against low-price competition, leading to a marginal improvement in prices for steel and coal [1][3] - Summer consumption has shown signs of improvement, with notable increases in tourism, movie attendance, and passenger transport, while pork prices have risen significantly, indicating a potential recovery in consumer spending [1][2] - Manufacturing activity is showing mixed results, with a decline in automotive production due to rising dealer inventory pressures, while chemical and asphalt production remains resilient, reflecting some stability in construction demand [1][3] Group 2 - Real estate sales continue to decline, with a 24.6% year-on-year drop in transaction volume across 30 major cities, while second-hand housing transactions in key cities also fell by 11.8% [2] - The automotive market is experiencing a slight increase in sales, driven by summer self-driving demand, although dealer inventory pressures are rising, as indicated by a 3.9% increase in the inventory warning index [2] - Service consumption is on the rise, with a 2.7% increase in tourism prices in Hainan and a 3.1% year-on-year increase in movie box office revenue, suggesting a potential rebound in consumer sentiment [2] Group 3 - The cyclical industry is experiencing heightened expectations for supply tightening, with a slight increase in rebar demand and a rebound in steel prices, while cement prices continue to decline [3] - Manufacturing activity is showing significant divergence, with automotive production rates declining, while chemical production rates are increasing, indicating varying levels of demand across sectors [3] - Resource prices are rising due to increased electricity consumption and tightening supply expectations, with coal prices continuing to rise amid changing monetary policy expectations [3] Group 4 - Passenger transport demand has increased, with metro ridership up by 1.1% week-on-week and domestic flight operations increasing by 6.1% week-on-week, indicating a recovery in travel activity [4] - However, export activities are facing challenges, with a decline in freight volumes and shipping prices, likely influenced by fluctuating international tariff policies [4] - Overall logistics performance shows a mixed picture, with a decrease in highway and rail freight volumes, while express delivery volumes remain strong year-on-year [4]

Core Viewpoint - The paper industry is currently facing intense competition and significant profit pressure, with historical trends indicating that environmental policies have previously driven the exit of outdated capacity, and new national standards are expected to catalyze a new round of supply-side clearing in the industry [1] Group 1: Industry Overview - The paper industry is experiencing an oversupply situation, with paper prices and profitability at low levels. The operating rates and inventory levels are relatively stable in the short term, but the oversupply has intensified since 2020, leading companies to adopt aggressive pricing strategies to gain market share [1][2] - Capacity growth in the industry has accelerated, exacerbating the oversupply situation. From 2010 to 2020, domestic capacity growth outpaced demand growth, with a notable increase in capacity since 2020 [1][2] Group 2: Capacity Expansion and Competition - Taking double glue paper as an example, from 2020 to 2025, the industry is expected to add a cumulative capacity of 6.41 million tons, with leading companies like Sun Paper (1 million tons) and Nine Dragons Paper (1.85 million tons) significantly increasing production. This trend is driven by the saturation of various paper segments, prompting leading companies to diversify their product offerings [2] - The new capacity is often accompanied by self-sufficient pulp lines, which allows new entrants to adopt low-price competition strategies, putting further pressure on paper prices. Since the second half of 2023, the profitability of paper machines has been operating below the breakeven line [2] Group 3: Historical Context and Future Outlook - Historically, the high prosperity of the paper industry from 2015 to 2018 was primarily driven by supply-side factors, particularly the implementation of environmental policies that restricted both existing and new capacity, leading to significant increases in paper prices and profitability [3] - Looking ahead, the current cycle has seen rapid expansion of capacity and companies, with record losses and low profits. The supply side faces challenges such as small-scale production lines and low entry barriers in certain paper types, making it difficult for leading companies to eliminate smaller competitors. Additionally, new national standards are expected to enhance energy consumption limits, potentially catalyzing a new round of supply-side clearing [3]

Group 1 - The core viewpoint of the article indicates that foreign capital experienced accelerated outflows from Hong Kong stocks in April and May, but began to return in June, primarily flowing into the technology sector [1] - In Q2, Hong Kong stocks saw an overall outflow of approximately 150 billion HKD, with long-term stable foreign capital accounting for a significant portion of this outflow, totaling around 120 billion HKD, while short-term flexible foreign capital contributed to an outflow of about 30 billion HKD [1] - The article highlights that in Q2, foreign capital mainly flowed into software services and technology hardware sectors in Hong Kong, while it saw outflows from banks, retail, and pharmaceutical sectors [1] Group 2 - For A-shares, the data from the Northbound trading indicates an overall inflow of 58.5 billion CNY in Q2, with a net inflow of approximately 11.4 billion CNY after excluding Chinese custodial funds [1] - Long-term stable foreign capital in A-shares saw an inflow of 51 billion CNY, while short-term flexible foreign capital experienced an outflow of 39.5 billion CNY [1] - The article notes that foreign capital in A-shares primarily increased its allocation to dividend stocks, new energy, and non-bank sectors, while reducing allocations in home appliances, food and beverage, and machinery sectors [1]

Core Viewpoint - The introduction of the "430" and "531" policies will lead to a decrease in the profitability of new energy projects, resulting in a slowdown in new energy development after the initial rush in early 2025. The marginal impact on coal consumption is expected to diminish, with a potential turning point for coal consumption around 2027 [1]. Group 1: New Energy Development - Over the past decade, new energy has experienced rapid growth, significantly impacting thermal power demand. By the end of 2024, the total installed capacity of wind and solar energy in China is projected to reach 1.4 billion kilowatts, achieving the 2030 target six years ahead of schedule. The share of thermal power generation capacity has decreased from 66.75% in 2015 to 43.88% in 2024 [2]. - The rapid growth of new energy has led to a notable decline in the growth rate of thermal power generation, which is now lagging behind the overall electricity consumption growth rate [2]. Group 2: Policy Impact - The "430" policy highlights the increasing pressure on distributed solar energy consumption, with some provinces halting new registrations for distributed solar projects. The profitability of these projects has become highly uncertain, ending the previous model of easy profits from simply installing power stations [3]. - The "531" policy, effective from January 2025, will push new energy into market trading, with settlement prices expected to decrease significantly compared to coal-based benchmark prices. This is likely to result in a substantial decline in new installations of distributed solar energy starting in the second half of 2025 [3]. Group 3: Future Outlook - The new energy sector is entering a new phase, with the peak of new energy installations likely occurring in 2024. The pressure on thermal power is expected to be greatest in 2025, but with steady growth in electricity demand driven by sectors such as electric vehicles and AI, the pressure on coal consumption is anticipated to ease in 2026, with a potential upward turning point in 2027 [4].
