华安证券刘超:2026年A股切换至盈利时间,紧扣AI与涨价双主线

Core Viewpoint - The Chinese economy is transitioning from a liquidity-driven valuation expansion to a profit recovery cycle, with structural changes in consumption, precise policy support, and broad profit recovery as the three pillars for understanding the market dynamics leading to 2026 [1]. Group 1: Consumption Dynamics - Investment and exports are expected to stabilize or face mild pressure by 2026, while internal structural changes in consumption will be key to economic resilience [4]. - Consumption is entering a slow upward trajectory, with policy support shifting from goods to services. The marginal impact of traditional consumption stimulus policies, such as trade-in subsidies, is diminishing [5]. - Consumption growth is projected to maintain a rate of around 4% in 2026, reflecting a significant transformation in growth dynamics, aligning with the "14th Five-Year Plan" focus on developing a strong domestic market and fostering new consumption types [5][6]. Group 2: Profit Recovery - Broad profit recovery among enterprises is expected to provide a solid foundation for the market, with nominal GDP significantly rising due to price improvements and sustained profit recovery [7]. - The overall profit growth for the A-share market is forecasted to increase from 8.2% in 2025 to 10.3% in 2026, with the ChiNext and STAR Market expected to see profit growth rates of 31.7% and 34.3%, respectively [7][8]. - The improvement in profit growth is attributed to a new industrial cycle driven by AI and internal profit recovery among companies [7]. Group 3: Investment Strategies - The core investment strategy for A-shares in 2026 will focus on the new growth cycle in technology industries and the price increase chain driven by supply-demand logic [9]. - The AI industry chain is identified as a strong technology focus, with significant potential in the computing power sector, while auxiliary equipment demand is expected to rise alongside infrastructure development [9]. - The storage industry is facing structural supply-demand contradictions, with AI-driven demand expected to sustain long-term growth, alongside opportunities in sectors benefiting from high overseas growth and national defense industries [10].
