TF Securities(SH:601162) 智通财经网·2025-08-01 00:08Core Viewpoint - The current anti-involution logic differs from supply-side reforms, focusing more on cost investigation and price monitoring to address low-price disorderly competition among enterprises. The anti-involution trend will evolve from "expected anti-involution" to "substantive anti-involution," with specific industries like agricultural chemicals and wind power equipment exemplifying this shift [1] Group 1: Wind Power Equipment Industry - The proportion of companies with negative operating cash flow (TTM) is decreasing, indicating that the industry is nearing a clearing phase, with a trend of increasing capital expenditure (CAPEX) expected from Q1 2025 [2] - The industry has seen a decline in CAPEX (TTM) growth rate, with a high proportion of companies experiencing a decrease in gross margin (TTM), suggesting a deepening clearing phase. However, profitability is improving, with a decrease in the proportion of companies with declining gross margins [2] - Revenue (TTM) has maintained positive year-on-year growth since Q1 2025, alongside inventory reduction [3] Group 2: Agricultural Chemicals Industry - The previous cycle peak in 2021 was characterized by proactive inventory accumulation in the agricultural chemicals market, leading to high prices and increased revenues for pesticide companies [4] - From the second half of 2022 to 2023, the industry faced continuous inventory accumulation, with a supply-demand turning point occurring post-H2 2022, leading to a phase of inventory clearance from 2023 to Q3 2024 [4] - The cyclical reversal logic reflected in financial reports operates on a quarterly basis, distinct from the phase of merely speculating on expectations in the anti-involution context. The industry’s quadrant analysis is complex but fundamentally revolves around traditional indicators like CAPEX, gross margin, and inventory [4]
