国泰海通｜策略：看好中国“转型牛”——2025年中期中国权益资产投资策略展望

Core Viewpoint - The Chinese stock market is entering a "transformation bull" phase, driven by a clearer understanding of economic conditions among investors and a shift in the main contradictions from economic cycle fluctuations to a decline in discount rates, particularly the reduction in risk-free rates and systemic risk awareness [1][2]. Group 1: Market Dynamics - The key drivers of the market are the decline in risk-free interest rates and a systemic reduction in risk perception. The past three years saw high opportunity costs hindering investor willingness to enter the market, but recent monetary policies have improved liquidity [2]. - The long-term government bond yield has fallen below 2%, and deposit rates have dropped below 1%, indicating a substantial decrease in risk-free rates in the Chinese stock market [2]. Group 2: Investment Opportunities - Emerging technologies are a primary investment theme, while cyclical finance is seen as a dark horse. The focus is on sectors such as finance and high dividends, with recommendations for brokers, banks, and insurance companies, as well as companies with stable dividends and monopolistic advantages [3]. - New technology growth is emphasized, particularly in sectors like internet, media, robotics, pharmaceuticals, and military, driven by competition between China and the U.S. [3]. - The revival of cyclical consumption is anticipated, with a focus on sectors experiencing improved competitive dynamics and tight supply-demand conditions, such as non-ferrous metals and chemicals, along with new consumer demands in retail and cosmetics [3]. Group 3: Thematic Recommendations - Recommendations include investments in AI applications, which are expected to accelerate demand for computing power, benefiting internet giants and infrastructure spending [4]. - The diversification of products and applications in embodied intelligence is highlighted, with a focus on core components and lightweight materials that benefit from large-scale production [4]. - The rise of domestic brands in consumer goods is noted, with recommendations for sectors like beauty, IP toys, and pet services that resonate with new consumer demographics [4]. - Regional economic policies, such as the Western Development strategy and the upcoming Hainan free trade zone, present opportunities in infrastructure, specialty raw materials, and tourism [4]. - The restructuring of global technology supply chains suggests a positive outlook for advanced semiconductors, domestic computing, and foundational software [4].
