朝闻国盛：分化收敛，均衡应对

Group 1: Macro Insights - The economic changes in the recent half month include a continued reduction in operating rates for high furnace and coking enterprises, leading to a rebound in prices for bulk commodities like coal, iron ore, and rebar. October real estate sales showed a decline both month-on-month and year-on-year, with new home sales down 16.3% year-on-year and second-hand home sales down 7.4% year-on-year. Exports are expected to maintain a strong growth rate of around 6% [5][7]. - The October manufacturing PMI experienced a seasonal decline, remaining below the baseline for seven consecutive months, primarily due to pre-holiday demand release and international environmental disturbances. Conversely, the service sector PMI showed a counter-seasonal increase driven by holiday travel and early consumption activities [7][9]. Group 2: Sector Performance - The coal sector is expected to see price increases as supply constraints persist, with the current low inventory levels and seasonal demand expected to drive prices up. The focus is on companies like China Shenhua and Yancoal [33][34]. - The steel sector is facing a supply-demand tension due to limited coking coal supply, while demand remains robust. The recommendation is to focus on companies with strong performance such as China Coal Energy and Yanzhou Coal Mining [34][36]. - In the beverage sector, the white liquor market is showing signs of recovery, with a recommendation to invest in brands like Moutai and Wuliangye, while the broader consumer goods market is expected to benefit from structural growth in beverage and snack categories [20][22]. Group 3: Company-Specific Insights - Longi Green Energy reported a narrowing loss and improved cash flow, driven by the ramp-up of BC technology, which is creating a competitive edge [25]. - Jifeng Automotive reported a revenue of 16.13 billion yuan for the first three quarters of 2025, a decrease of 5% year-on-year, but a significant profit increase of 147% due to cost reduction measures and the sale of a loss-making subsidiary [28][30]. - The environmental monitoring sector is poised for growth due to new regulations promoting soil remediation and capacity replacement, with companies like High Energy Environment and Focused Technology recommended for investment [32].
