产业债系列报告：如何看待新增产业主体的投资价值？

Report Summary 1. Industry Investment Rating The report does not mention the industry investment rating. 2. Core Viewpoints - Since 2024, the number of new bond - issuing industrial entities has significantly increased under the strict supervision of urban investment bonds. The new industrial entities from January 1 to August 26, 2025, are mainly concentrated in low - to - middle administrative levels, with over half of them having an AA+ rating and mostly located in economically developed provinces. The marginal supply increment of industrial bonds brought by these new entities is difficult to substantially alleviate the shortage of credit bond assets [1][2]. - Newly - issued bonds of new industrial entities often have an excess spread at the initial listing stage due to liquidity and market cognitive differences, and the excess spread tends to narrow to varying degrees after listing. It is recommended to select bonds from industries with relatively good prosperity (such as social services) and focus on bonds issued by urban investment subsidiaries [3]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Newly - Issued Bond Industrial Entities Inventory - Quantity change: Since the second half of 2023, under the strict supervision of urban investment bonds, the number of new bond - issuing industrial entities has increased. In 2024, there were 133 new industrial bond - issuing entities, and from January 1 to August 26, 2025, 191 industrial entities entered the capital market for bond financing. The number of new industrial bond - issuing entities from January to July 2025 showed a fluctuating upward trend, with 41 entities in July alone [1][4]. - Administrative level: Among the 191 new industrial bond - issuing entities from January 1 to August 26, 2025, 63 were district - level state - owned enterprises and 62 were prefecture - level state - owned enterprises, showing a concentration in low - to - middle administrative levels. The 63 new district - level industrial entities were mostly concentrated in economically developed provinces such as Shandong, Zhejiang, Guangdong, and Jiangsu [8]. - Subject rating: Among the new industrial bond - issuing entities from January 1 to August 26, 2025, 103 had an AA+ rating, accounting for 54%, followed by 52 with an AA rating and 31 with an AAA rating, mainly medium - and low - credit - rated entities [8]. - Industry distribution: The top five industries with the largest number of new industrial bond - issuing entities from January 1 to August 26, 2025, were comprehensive (47), social services (31), building decoration (24), non - bank finance (18), and real estate (10) [13]. - Regional distribution: New industrial bond - issuing entities were mostly concentrated in economically developed provinces such as Shandong (30), Jiangsu (24), Guangdong (17), and Zhejiang (17) [13]. - Asset scale: Most of the industrial entities that first appeared in the bond market in 2025 were small - scale. Among the 191 new industrial bond - issuing entities from January 1 to August 26, 2025, 47% had a total asset scale of less than 100 million yuan, and 49% had a net asset scale of less than 50 million yuan. Among the 81 industrial entities with a total asset scale of less than 100 million yuan, 32 were subsidiaries of urban investment companies [17]. - Bond issuance scale and use of funds: The total issuance scale of bonds issued by new industrial entities from January 1 to August 26, 2025, was 13.78 billion yuan, mainly private placement corporate bonds. The funds were mainly used to repay interest - bearing debts (8.08 billion yuan, accounting for 59%), and some were used for project construction, supplementary working capital, and other purposes [20]. - Ways for urban investment entities to increase bond quotas: Bond - financing - restricted urban investment entities usually use subsidiaries as issuers to try to increase bond quotas, mainly by injecting assets into existing subsidiaries or stripping urban investment - related businesses. The former is the preferred method, but the single - bond quota of urban investment subsidiaries is usually small [23]. 3.2 How to Evaluate the Investment Value of New Industrial Entities - Value discovery process: In the first five trading days after the listing of bonds issued by new industrial entities, the excess spread fluctuated little and showed no obvious trend. As time passed, the market's perception of new industrial entities gradually converged, and the liquidity premium and risk premium at the initial listing stage mostly narrowed significantly [3][26]. - Overview of major industries of new industrial entities: - Building industry: The industry is currently in a state of low prosperity. In 2024, the construction and completion areas decreased year - on - year. In July 2025, the PMI and its sub - indicators were at a low level. Although the "anti - involution" initiative was put forward, it is difficult to significantly boost the bargaining power of construction enterprises in the short term, and the subsequent marginal improvement needs attention [30][31]. - Social services: The number of domestic tourists and tourism revenue have been continuously rising. The main business of social service issuers is mainly related to tourism. With the improvement of the modern tourism system, tourism will play a more prominent role in promoting economic development [35]. - Real estate: Housing prices and investment are at a low level. In July 2025, the prices of new and second - hand houses in 70 large and medium - sized cities decreased year - on - year, and real estate development investment also declined. Policy support may be the key variable for the real estate market [37]. 3.3 Investment Recommendations - Focus on new bond - issuing industrial entities in the future, as they often have an excess spread at the initial listing stage, which tends to narrow over time. - Select bonds from industries with relatively good prosperity, such as social services. - Pay attention to bonds issued by urban investment subsidiaries, as their credit risks are relatively controllable [39].
