They believe that excess profits in the downstream investment and operation of energy storage will be passed on to the materials, batteries, and integration sectors through price increases as demand surges. The lithium battery supply chain shows significant elasticity, with a focus on materials such as 6F, iron lithium, anode, separator, and battery segments [2] - The company anticipates a peak production season where materials and energy storage batteries will be in short supply, leading to continuous price increases. With downstream procurement and long-term guidance in October and November, demand for 2026 is becoming clearer, and pricing models are changing [2] Group 3 - Galaxy Securities noted that the correlation between the consumer sector and major online promotions like Double Eleven will gradually decrease. The consumer industry should focus on the medium to long-term goals outlined in the 14th Five-Year Plan, with short-term attention on policies related to consumption in December 2025 for 2026. They hold an optimistic view on the development of overseas business for the consumer sector in 2026, emphasizing high-dividend quality companies during the market style transition [3] Group 4 - CICC released a 2026 outlook for property management, suggesting that changes in the internal and external environment are driving the industry's operating model towards a healthier and more sustainable direction characterized by moderate changes in volume and price, along with relatively stable cash flow.

They recommend high-quality stocks with stable performance, strong cash flow, and high dividend yields [4]
