The trend is expected to outweigh volatility, with a focus on two main investment lines: 1. Long-cycle dimension: undervalued core assets are expected to see valuation recovery, with Hualing Steel being a top pick [4] 2. Short-cycle dimension: production control and capacity exit will have a greater impact on rebar companies, suggesting a focus on efficient companies with a high proportion of long products [4]
