寒冬渐退春不远，劲草迎风气象新：建筑建材 2026 年策略报告：-20260213

Investment Highlights - The construction sector faced pressure in 2025, with the building materials sector showing signs of bottom recovery, as the building materials sector increased by 22.1%, outperforming the construction decoration sector which only rose by 6.7% [2][15][22]. Construction Sector Analysis - The construction sector is under significant fundamental pressure, with a focus on three main investment directions: overseas expansion through the "Belt and Road" initiative, resource value reassessment, and state-owned enterprise reform [3][5]. - The domestic traditional infrastructure investment growth rate is slowing, and real estate construction continues to weaken, limiting the improvement space for the sector [3][5]. - Companies with business transformation capabilities and those positioned in high-growth niche markets performed well, while engineering consulting firms faced pressure due to local government financial constraints [3][5]. Building Materials Sector Analysis - The building materials sector is experiencing structural differentiation, with some segments expected to reach a turning point, particularly consumer building materials [4][5]. - Despite weak real estate data, the marginal negative impact on the building materials sector has significantly decreased, with supply-side improvements expected to precede demand-side recovery [4][5]. - The cement industry is recovering from price bottoming, while the glass industry remains under pressure, and the fiberglass sector is seeing significant improvements due to structural demand [4][5][41][46]. Investment Recommendations - In the construction sector, focus on leading infrastructure companies benefiting from overseas projects and major engineering, such as China Communications Construction Company, China State Construction Engineering, and China Railway Construction Corporation [5]. - In the building materials sector, attention should be given to leading consumer building material companies like Sangke Tree, Oriental Yuhong, and Beixin Building Materials, as well as cyclical building material leaders like Huaxin Cement and China National Building Material [5]. Belt and Road Initiative - The "Belt and Road" initiative has created significant opportunities for the construction sector, with a notable increase in overseas orders and contracts signed in 2025, amounting to $257.98 billion, a 10.8% increase year-on-year [77][79]. - The demand for infrastructure in countries participating in the initiative is expected to grow rapidly, providing a substantial project pool for construction companies [77][79]. Resource Value Reassessment - The expectation of rising prices for non-ferrous metals is anticipated to benefit state-owned construction companies that have acquired valuable mineral resources through past projects [3][5]. State-Owned Enterprise Reform - Policies promoting the securitization of state-owned assets and mergers and acquisitions are expected to create value reassessment opportunities for state-owned construction companies with quality assets [3][5].
