首席展望｜招商基金李湛：中国市场将迈入“盈利改善+估值抬升”的双重驱动阶段

Core Viewpoint - The international capital market is optimistic about China's economic transformation and development prospects in 2026, with major foreign investment banks recommending increased allocations to A-shares and Hong Kong stocks, indicating a shift towards a dual-driven phase of profit improvement and valuation uplift [1][3]. Group 1: Investment Environment and Trends - In 2026, the investment focus is expected to be on "industrial innovation-driven + profit realization + resource supply-demand optimization," with emphasis on technology innovation, high-end manufacturing, and cyclical recovery [2][16]. - The global economic landscape in 2025 showed resilient growth amid uncertainties, with emerging markets becoming the main growth engines, which, combined with China's policy support and industrial upgrades, creates structural opportunities in the capital market [3][4]. - The investment environment is anticipated to shift from single valuation recovery to a dual-driven phase of profit improvement and valuation uplift [3][4]. Group 2: Capital Inflows and Funding Sources - The most certain source of incremental capital in 2026 is expected to be insurance funds, with foreign capital gradually shifting from trading to allocation, particularly in high-end manufacturing and technology sectors [2][7]. - Resident savings represent a significant potential slow variable, with some funds expected to migrate to equity markets through wealth management and public funds [2][7]. - The structure of incremental capital in 2026 is likely to be characterized by "multiple channels, low volatility, and long cycles," with insurance funds, foreign capital, and resident savings being the main contributors [7]. Group 3: Sector Opportunities and Focus Areas - The technology sector remains the main line of industry allocation, with a focus on the performance visibility and elasticity of computing infrastructure and key hardware being higher than that of application layers [8][10]. - High-end manufacturing and advanced industrial systems are expected to continue benefiting from manufacturing upgrades, while energy transition and new power systems are also important directions for investment [10]. - Industries related to resource security and supply chain safety, such as non-ferrous metals and key materials, are anticipated to have stable medium- to long-term demand support [10]. Group 4: Risk Assessment and Market Dynamics - The evolution of risks related to real estate and local government debt is transitioning from "emergency response" to "long-term management," while external demand uncertainty is identified as the most significant variable affecting the market in 2026 [5][6]. - The core of external demand uncertainty lies in the unpredictable external environment, which can directly disrupt domestic economic recovery and influence macro policy adjustments [6]. Group 5: Asset Allocation Recommendations - For balanced investors in 2026, an initial asset allocation recommendation is 55%-60% in stocks, 30%-35% in bonds, and 5%-10% in gold, focusing on capturing structural opportunities in hard technology, high-end manufacturing, and cyclical upgrades [12][13]. - Stocks should be the core allocation, while bonds can provide stability against market volatility, and gold should serve as a long-term strategic asset to hedge against geopolitical risks and external demand fluctuations [14][15].
