Sou Hu Cai Jing·2025-11-15 11:39Core Viewpoint - The long-term performance of the A-share market is significantly lagging behind that of the US stock market, primarily due to the lack of high-growth technology companies in the A-share market compared to the US market [1][5][11]. Group 1: Market Performance Comparison - As of November 13, 2025, the A-share market showed strong short-term performance, with the Shanghai Composite Index and CSI 300 Index up 20%, the Sci-Tech 50 up 40%, and the ChiNext Index up 50% [1]. - However, over a ten-year period from early 2016 to November 13, 2025, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq indices saw cumulative gains of 237% and 360%, respectively, while the Shanghai Composite Index only gained about 15% [3][5]. Group 2: Company Composition and Growth - The top ten companies in the US stock market are predominantly high-tech firms, including Apple, Microsoft, and Nvidia, which have shown profit growth rates of 20% to 30%, with some even reaching 100% to 200% [5][7]. - In contrast, the A-share market's top ten companies are mainly traditional industries, with major banks and state-owned enterprises, which have experienced minimal profit growth, often in single digits [5][6]. Group 3: Global Market Reach - US tech companies earn revenue globally, contributing to their high market valuations, while A-share companies primarily generate revenue from the domestic market, limiting their growth potential [7][9]. - Nvidia's revenue grew from $26.9 billion in 2022 to $60.9 billion in 2024, showcasing a growth rate of 126%, while Agricultural Bank of China's profit growth was only 8.5% during the same period [9]. Group 4: Future Outlook - For the A-share market to improve its long-term wealth effect, it needs to develop more companies like Ningde Times and Industrial Fulian, which have global revenue streams and sustainable growth potential [11]. - The structural difference in market composition, with a high proportion of financial and energy sectors in A-shares compared to the tech sector in the US, poses a challenge for A-shares to achieve comparable long-term returns [11].
