Investment Rating - The report maintains a "Positive" investment rating for the construction and engineering sector [9] Core Views - The construction sector exhibits characteristics such as low valuation, low institutional holdings, large market capitalization, and stable outlook for quality targets. The report identifies four key investment directions within the construction industry: 1) Companies with strong Q3 performance and short-term earnings certainty 2) High dividend yield stocks providing a safety cushion 3) Strong long-term growth potential 4) Large-cap stocks with low absolute valuations [5][6][7] Summary by Sections Valuation Metrics - As of the latest closing, the Jiangsu Construction Index has a PE ratio of 12.83, ranking 28th across all industries, with a 10-year percentile of 68.5%.

Notably, the construction sector and the banking sector are the only indices within the Jiangsu framework that are trading below book value [5][6] Institutional Holdings - The construction sector has historically low institutional holdings, which may reflect a weak outlook for the industry and a lack of attention from investors.

These enterprises play a crucial role in stabilizing economic growth and are likely to be favored in a market shift towards undervalued sectors [6][7] Investment Directions - **Direction One**: Focus on companies with strong Q3 earnings, such as Sichuan Road and Bridge, China Chemical, and others, which show robust growth and sufficient order backlogs [7] - **Direction Two**: Invest in high dividend yield stocks like Jianghe Group (6.2%), Sichuan Road and Bridge (5.6%), and others, which provide a strong holding safety net [7] - **Direction Three**: Target companies with strong long-term growth potential, such as Honglu Steel Structure and others benefiting from semiconductor capital expenditure [7] - **Direction Four**: Invest in large-cap stocks with low absolute valuations, including eight major state-owned enterprises that are all trading below book value [7]

Summary of the Conference Call on China Construction Materials - Fiberglass Industry Industry Overview - The conference call focused on the fiberglass industry in China, particularly in East China, covering major producers, traders, and downstream processors in Shandong and Jiangsu provinces [1][2]. Key Insights - **Price Trends**: Price increases observed at the end of October were primarily coordinated among industry leaders rather than driven by genuine demand recovery. The price outlook for 2,400 tex E-glass direct roving is projected to remain stable within the range of Rmb3,100-3,600 per ton for 2026, with limited upside compared to the 2025 range of Rmb3,050-3,800 per ton [1][7]. - **Demand Dynamics**: The demand for fiberglass is expected to moderate in 2026 as end markets soften across major applications. Wind power installations remain high, but actual consumption is projected to decline to approximately 11-12% of total demand, down from 14%. The automotive sector is expected to remain stable at 17-18%, while the construction segment is anticipated to drop to 18-19%, reflecting ongoing weaknesses in real estate and infrastructure [8]. Capacity and Inventory - **Production Capacity**: China's total operating fiberglass capacity is around 8.5 million tons per year, with electronic yarn accounting for approximately 1.1 million tons. In 2025, net additional capacity is expected to reach 629,000 tons, with new capacity additions of 705,000 tons and cold repairs of 156,000 tons [2]. - **Inventory Levels**: Industry inventory remains high at 1.5-2 months, with smaller producers facing even greater inventory pressures. Although price hikes in September helped to partially reduce stock levels, the improvement was not sufficient to create strong momentum for further price increases [3]. Market Sentiment and Price Outlook - **Market Sentiment**: The current market sentiment is subdued, primarily due to weaker deep-processing demand, with orders down 30-40% year-over-year. Other contributing factors include tight cash flow, low restocking appetite, and persistent inventory pressure on smaller and mid-sized producers ahead of the seasonal low-demand period [4]. - **Price Fluctuations**: The fiberglass market in 2026 is expected to maintain structural differentiation, with high-end products like wind power and thermoplastic fibers likely to remain stable. However, mainstream direct roving may see a typical price increase in Q1 after the Chinese New Year, followed by a downturn in Q2 due to new capacity coming online [5][7]. Certification and Quality - **Low DK Production**: Current low-DK production is concentrated among a few key players, with Sinoma S&T being the only producer that has achieved full certification across all high-end product categories. The market remains in a state of supply shortage, with a monthly capacity of specialty electronic fabrics exceeding 6 million square meters as of September 2025 [9][10]. Conclusion - The fiberglass industry in China is facing a complex landscape characterized by moderated demand, high inventory levels, and price fluctuations. The focus is shifting towards structural upgrades rather than cyclical recovery, with investment expected to center on technology-driven, certified high-end players rather than mere scale expansion [1][4].
