  1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The convertible bond market is expected to be in a period of both offense and defense in the second half of 2025, with the valuation having a bottom and upward flexibility, and the upward space will increasingly depend on the performance of the equity market. If the equity market breaks through, the convertible bond valuation will resonate accordingly [3][73]. - With the accelerated conversion of bank convertible bonds, the allocation of underlying convertible bond varieties is limited. It is necessary to seek better solutions from the strategic and industry levels [3][126]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1上半年转债走势及估值分析 - Market performance: As of June 5, the year - to - date returns of the CSI Convertible Bond Index and the Wind Convertible Bond Equal - Weighted Index were 4.55% and 6.62% respectively, slightly higher than the median return of convertible bond funds (4.53%). The equity and convertible bond markets had a significant pullback in April due to Trump's tariff disturbances but then recovered to the highest point since the beginning of the year [12]. - Market structure: In the first half of the year, small - cap and low - rated convertible bonds outperformed, but they had a large pullback in April due to tariff policies and then quickly recovered their losses. The theme style switched from technology to financial real estate. From January to February, AI + robotics were dominant, and from March to May, the financial real estate style was stronger [13][18]. - Trading volume: The trading volume ratio of small - cap stocks continued to rise. In 2025, the trading volume ratio of small - cap stocks reached a new high. The "April decision" was completed instantaneously under the tariff disturbance and then quickly recovered [23]. - Price: Since May 2025, the median convertible bond price has remained above 120 yuan, approaching the stage high in March 2025. After the tariff shock and the ebb of the technology main line, the differentiation between high - and low - priced bonds was not obvious [26]. - Valuation: The 100 - yuan premium rate valuation has been fluctuating around 30%. Structurally, the bottom - support value of high - priced bonds was strong in the first half of the year, and the valuation tended to compress; the bottom - support value of medium - priced bonds increased slightly, and the valuation increased; the pure bond value and valuation of low - priced bonds both increased, mainly benefiting from the increase in conversion value [27][34]. 3.2下半年转债攻守兼备,估值下有底上有弹性 - Supporting factors for valuation: The equity market is not expected to have a deep correction, and the low - interest - rate environment will remain unchanged; the trend of supply contraction and undiminished demand remains unchanged; although institutional behaviors such as funds reflect a cautious attitude, the attention is still high; the concern about the downgrade of convertible bond ratings may be better than expected [3][73]. - Potential suppressing factors for valuation: The credit rating of existing convertible bonds is declining, and the scale of high - quality assets is decreasing, which restricts the institutional allocation space; the number of near - maturity convertible bonds is increasing, and the impact of time - value attenuation cannot be ignored [3][73]. - Incremental funds: The marginal incremental funds mainly come from securities firms and private funds [68][72]. 3.3银行转债加速退出下的底仓配置品种探索 - Status of bank convertible bonds: Since 2023, the balance and proportion of bank convertible bonds have been declining. As of June 2025, the proportion of bank convertible bond balances has fallen back to around 20%. The issuance rhythm has slowed down, and there have been no new issuances since 2023 [77][78]. - Strategic level: The valuations of convertible bonds with ratings of AA + and above are high, and the space for additional allocation is limited. It is necessary to appropriately relax the rating and market - value restrictions. In both the medium - low and high - parity ranges, the low - valuation style has long - term advantages. The valuation difference between new and old bonds is expected to further polarize [3][84][106]. - Industry level: The industries that can replace bank convertible bonds are mainly banking, power equipment (mainly from photovoltaics), and agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery (mainly from pork). The available bank convertible bonds with prices below 120 yuan are Xingye, Ziyin, and Qingnong convertible bonds, and their valuations are already high. Photovoltaic convertible bonds have long maturities and elasticity. Agricultural and animal husbandry convertible bonds are relatively stable, and their elasticity comes from the improvement of the underlying stock's fundamentals [3][111][122].
