Summary of Key Points from the Equity Research Report Industry Overview - The report discusses the potential for a new round of supply-side structural reforms in China, referred to as Supply-Side Structural Reform 2.0 (SSSR2.0), following a call from the Central Commission for Financial and Economic Affairs (CCFEA) to address price competition and eliminate obsolete capacity [2][11]. Core Insights 1. **Differences from Previous Reforms**: - SSSR1.0 focused on upstream industries like coal, steel, cement, and glass, while SSSR2.0 is expected to encompass both traditional industries (e.g., steel) and new industries (e.g., solar, auto, lithium batteries) [3][13]. - The current reforms may be driven by self-regulating industry associations and market players rather than solely by government mandates, which characterized SSSR1.0 [3][13]. - Economic conditions differ significantly; SSSR1.0 coincided with a boost from infrastructure projects, whereas the current economy faces challenges in property and consumption sectors [3][13]. 2. **Urgency of Reform**: - The solar industry is identified as having the highest urgency for reform due to low capacity utilization rates (73.5%) and negative return on equity (ROE) among top players [5][24]. - Other industries in need of reform include steel, lithium batteries, and auto [5][24]. 3. **Potential Outcomes**: - The pace of capacity elimination may be slower in SSSR2.0 compared to SSSR1.0 due to the different measures and types of enterprises involved (state-owned vs. private) [4][26]. - It may take longer for Producer Price Index (PPI) growth to return to positive territory due to weaker demand and less stringent supply-side controls [4][26]. Key Beneficiaries - The report highlights five stocks that could benefit from the anticipated supply-side measures: - **Tongwei** (Hold) - **Longi Green** (Hold) - **First Applied Material** (Buy) - **Lead Intelligent** (Buy) - **Bank of Jiangsu** (Buy) [7][35]. Additional Insights 1. **Historical Context**: - SSSR1.0 led to significant improvements in capacity utilization and ROE for industry leaders, suggesting that similar outcomes could be expected for leading firms in SSSR2.0 [30][31]. - During SSSR1.0, industries involved in reforms outperformed the CSI300 benchmark, with large caps generally outperforming small caps [31][33]. 2. **Current Economic Indicators**: - The report notes that PPI has been in contraction for 33 months since October 2022, indicating ongoing economic challenges [14][26]. - Capacity utilization rates have declined across various sectors, with electrical equipment and auto industries experiencing significant drops [16][29]. 3. **Regulatory Measures**: - Recent measures include standardized conditions for solar manufacturing and initiatives to curb price wars in the auto industry, indicating a proactive approach by regulatory bodies [21][22]. 4. **Market Sentiment**: - Investor expectations for SSSR2.0 are fueled by recent government discussions and publications highlighting the need for structural reforms to address overcapacity and competition issues [2][12]. This comprehensive analysis provides insights into the potential impacts of SSSR2.0 on various industries and highlights key stocks that may benefit from these reforms.
