国海富兰克林基金2026年度展望：慢牛延续，结构分化下的机遇与挑战

Core Viewpoint - The report from Guohai Franklin Fund presents a positive outlook for the A-share market in 2026, highlighting a "slow bull" market characterized by structural differentiation, with significant performance from the technology sector and resource revaluation driven by external and internal demand dynamics [1][9]. Group 1: Technology Growth - Artificial Intelligence (AI) is identified as the core driver of the fourth industrial revolution, with its impact expected to surpass that of the internet and mobile internet eras [2]. - The past year has seen exponential growth in computing power driven by companies like OpenAI and Nvidia, alongside advancements in algorithms, leading to a clearer understanding of the path to General Artificial Intelligence (AGI) [2][3]. - The focus for investment in the AI sector should be on commercial opportunities in application development and the technological iteration of computing power, with a strong belief that 2026 will be a breakthrough year for domestic AI industries in China [3]. Group 2: Resource Revaluation - The report notes a significant increase in the prices of non-ferrous metals, driven by geopolitical tensions, de-globalization trends, and the rising demand for strategic resources due to the AI revolution [4]. - The U.S. is implementing tariffs and localization policies to build strategic reserves of critical minerals, while China is enhancing its control over supply in areas like rare earths and tungsten [4]. - The potential for this revaluation trend to extend to oil and agricultural products is highlighted, with oil prices being a key factor influencing global inflation and economic policies [5]. Group 3: Domestic Demand Stabilization - The decline in real estate prices since 2021 has led to a contraction in local government and household balance sheets, contributing to weak domestic demand [6]. - Short-term stabilization of core asset prices and proactive debt management are seen as effective measures to restore balance sheets, while long-term recovery will depend on structural reforms in consumption and income distribution [6][7]. - The direction of real estate policy will be crucial for the performance of the domestic demand sector in 2026, with a shift from a "supportive" to a "stimulative" approach potentially leading to significant valuation recovery across the domestic industry chain [7]. Group 4: National Competition - The report suggests that a stable external economic environment is essential for the continued performance of externally driven sectors, with a shift in U.S. foreign policy expected to lead to a more pragmatic approach [8]. - Improved relations between China and Europe are anticipated, although potential trade disputes in Southeast Asia and other regions remain a concern [8]. - Overall, the external environment in 2026 is expected to be more stable than in 2025, benefiting the outlook for externally driven industries [8]. Conclusion - Guohai Franklin Fund maintains an optimistic view for the A-share market in 2026, with a continued focus on technology growth, resource revaluation, and the potential stabilization of domestic demand [9].
