Analyst Insights - **Galaxy Securities**: The firm believes that the market is unlikely to replicate the performance seen on April 7. They attribute this to a significant reduction in the expected impact of recent tariff shocks, the establishment of policy mechanisms to stabilize the market, and a focus on medium to long-term policy expectations. They also note that the recent adjustments in Chinese concept stocks are not indicative of a long-term trend reversal but rather a necessary market correction following previous gains. Short-term uncertainties in the external environment may suppress market risk appetite, leading to increased volatility and divergence among individual stocks. However, the core drivers of the current market trend remain unchanged, with liquidity expected to continue improving [2]. - **Huatai Securities**: The firm highlights that since September, major overseas storage manufacturers like SanDisk, Micron, and Samsung have announced price increases, often exceeding market expectations. In the DRAM segment, demand driven by AI for HBM and high-capacity DDR5 remains strong, leading to a steady increase in mainstream DRAM prices in Q4 2025. Micron's FY25Q4 earnings report indicated that the supply-demand relationship in the DRAM market will remain tight in 2026. In the NAND segment, strict control over production capacity, combined with HDD supply shortages and increasing enterprise-level SSD demand driven by AI applications, is expected to further optimize the supply-demand structure, with price increases in Q4 2025 likely to be greater than in Q3 2025 [3]. - **CITIC Construction Investment**: The firm notes that the Ministry of Commerce has issued multiple documents to strengthen export controls on rare earths, increasing restrictions on five categories of medium and heavy rare earths and on the export of equipment, technology, and raw materials across the entire industry chain. This move further reinforces the strategic importance of rare earths, particularly in relation to overseas military and high-end semiconductor demands [4].
