国产替代与AI落地

国产替代与 AI 落地 20250109 摘要 Q&A 2024 年计算机板块的市场表现如何?有哪些关键词可以总结这一年的情况? 2024 年计算机板块的市场表现可以用"预期和现实"、"双击和双杀"这几个 关键词来总结。年初,量化和小盘股大跌,2 月初见底后,一季报披露前后出现 反弹。4 月至 9 月中旬呈现单边下行趋势,9 月底至四季度则迎来较好行情,反 弹幅度在所有 A 股板块中靠前。然而,在前期下行过程中,该板块表现为 30 个 行业倒数第一。这种交替演绎背后的原因在于预期和现实的不同组合:上行阶段 是偏弱的现实与积极预期,下行阶段则是偏弱现实与弱预期叠加。 • 2024 年计算机板块市场表现先抑后扬,年初量化和小盘股大跌,二季度 单边下行,四季度强势反弹,全年波动剧烈,体现了预期与现实的错配。 • 计算机行业处于偏弱改善阶段,政策落地存在时间滞后性,预计 2025 年 二季度才能看到更多政策传导效果,例如预算修正、方案沟通选型等。 • 美国对中国科技企业的制裁持续升级,采取组合拳式打击,包括实体清单、 关税等,对中国科技企业采购和销售造成双重影响,未来中美关系虽可能 阶段性缓和,但制裁风险依然存在。 ...
