- Report Industry Investment Rating The report does not provide an industry investment rating. 2. Core Viewpoints - In 25Q4, most asset performances showed marginal improvement. The revenue and EBITDA of public utilities, consumption, industrial parks, and warehousing logistics all increased, while the EBITDA decline of energy and transportation significantly narrowed year-on-year. However, the rental income and EBITDA of affordable rental housing decreased slightly, and IDC benefited from long - term contracts with major clients, maintaining stable performance [3]. - The performance of different sectors in the future will be affected by various factors. Public utilities are expected to have stable cash - flows, but performance differentiation depends on the active management ability of operators. The consumption sector is expected to have a compensatory increase in 26Q1, and its performance is expected to be stable in the long - term. Affordable rental housing will face new supply shocks in 2026, and different operators need to find a balance between volume and price. The energy sector's revenue stability depends on power trading strategies. The traffic sector's performance is related to road network planning and cost control. The warehousing sector's rent is expected to decline in the short - term, and the industrial park sector will enter a deep adjustment period [3][35][56][80][102][126][147][175]. 3.
