［7月31日］指数估值数据(大盘回调，还会上涨吗；红利会较少到高估吗；指数日报更新）

Core Viewpoint - The market is experiencing fluctuations, with the A-share and Hong Kong stock markets showing signs of volatility, but the overall trend remains upward due to valuation improvements and profit recovery [10][21]. Market Performance - The overall market index, represented by the CSI All Share Index, fell by 1.38%, closing at 4.7 stars [1]. - Large-cap stocks, as indicated by the CSI 300, decreased by 1.82% [2]. - Small-cap stocks showed minor declines with limited volatility [3]. - Value style stocks performed relatively better, experiencing smaller declines compared to growth style stocks, which saw more significant drops [4][5]. Market Trends - The recent year has seen a dual boost in the A-share and Hong Kong markets driven by "valuation enhancement + profit growth recovery," similar to the period from 2013 to 2017 [10]. - The market is characterized by a pattern of "advancing three months, retreating one month," with each cycle lasting approximately 3-5 months, closely tied to earnings growth reports [11][12]. - A-share markets have rebounded from 5.9 stars to around 4.7 stars, while Hong Kong stocks have seen a more substantial increase of 20-30%, moving from around 5 stars to approximately 3.9 stars before recent declines [13]. Sector Performance - Different sectors are recovering at different paces, with Hong Kong technology stocks showing over 100% year-on-year profit growth last year [16]. - In the first two quarters of this year, both Hong Kong and A-share pharmaceutical sectors have also reported significant profit growth, contributing to the rise of related indices [17]. - Small-cap stocks are beginning to show signs of recovery, while the consumer sector remains relatively weak [18]. Investment Strategies - Value style indices, including dividend and low-volatility strategies, are less likely to reach overvaluation compared to growth style indices [23][25]. - The value investment approach, rooted in principles from Graham and Buffett, focuses on selecting stocks with low price-to-earnings and price-to-book ratios [26]. - Various types of value indices include those focusing on low P/E ratios, high dividend yields, low volatility, and high free cash flow [27][28][30]. Index Valuation - The current market valuation is not excessively high (4.7 stars), and combined with corporate profit growth, this is expected to drive further market index increases [21]. - The dividend index has not reached high valuation levels, with the P/E ratio increasing from around 8 times to approximately 10 times since 2018, contributing to about 25% of returns [51]. Conclusion - The market is expected to continue its upward trajectory despite short-term fluctuations, with value style indices providing a more stable investment option compared to growth style indices, which are more prone to volatility and overvaluation [59][60].
