Core Insights - Since October, value style has begun to outperform growth style, marking a significant shift compared to the dominance of growth represented by TMT in Q2-Q3 [2][10] - The cyclical rotation between growth and value styles typically occurs over a 2-3 year period, primarily driven by changes in profit trends [2][11] - The fourth quarter is prone to style changes, particularly in December, as investor allocation strategies shift based on economic and profit outlooks [2][16] Summary by Sections Strategy Viewpoint - The current growth style has been dominant since September 2024, lasting about one year, and is expected to continue due to the upward trend in AI and high-end manufacturing [3][11] - Q4 is historically a high-frequency period for style changes, especially in December, as investors focus on stability and valuation safety margins [3][16] - Historical examples of style shifts include the strong switch to blue-chip stocks in late 2014 and a more balanced style shift in late 2019 [3][17] Market Changes - The report indicates that the probability of value style outperforming in December significantly increases, with historical data supporting this trend [7][20] - The report highlights that in 2014, the non-bank financial sector saw a substantial rise, with the Shanghai Composite Index showing a rapid increase in excess returns [17][21] - In 2019, a valuation repair shift occurred, leading to a more balanced market style, with previously weak sectors rebounding [23][24] Industry and Sector Recommendations - The report suggests focusing on low-valuation sectors, particularly in finance, as they may benefit from the anticipated style shift [32][33] - Specific sectors recommended for investment include non-bank financials, electric equipment, steel, and chemicals, with an emphasis on their potential for recovery and growth [35][36] - The report notes that the financial sector's valuation remains attractive, with expectations of recovery driven by regulatory support and market conditions [35][36]

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Group 2: Core Views of the Report - Glass: Short - term is volatile and weak, medium - term is a volatile market. The short - term pressure mainly comes from the under - expected production cut. Although the market transaction was good this week, the futures market was still weak. In the long - term, the policy factors of anti - deflation and anti - involution are not clearly falsified, so the long - term trend should not be overly bearish. [2] -纯碱: The trend is weak. The problems of high production and high inventory in the soda ash industry have not slowed down but increased. It depends on either large - scale production cuts in soda ash or continuous improvement in the glass industry to drive positive market feedback. [3] Group 3: Summary by Related Catalogs Glass Supply - This week, there were slight changes in the float glass production lines. Four production lines in Shahe were shut down, and one in Dalian was put into production. As of November 6, 2025, there were 296 glass production lines in China (200,000 tons per day), with 222 in production and 74 cold - repaired and shut down. The daily output of national float glass was 159,100 tons, a 1.33% decrease compared to 30 days ago.

[6][7][8] - After the production cut in Shahe, the further production cut space within the year is limited. Currently, the in - production capacity is about 159,000 tons per day, and the peak capacity in 2021 was 178,000 tons per day. [11] Demand - As of October 31, 2025, the average order days of national deep - processing sample enterprises were 10.8 days, a 4.0% increase month - on - month and a 16.1% decrease year - on - year.

[19][22] Photovoltaic Glass Price and Profit - The recent market transactions have started to weaken, and this situation is expected to continue. The mainstream order price of 2.0mm coated panels was 12.5 - 13 yuan/square meter, and that of 3.2mm coated panels was 19.5 - 20 yuan/square meter, both unchanged month - on - month. [40][42] Capacity and Inventory - The market transactions have started to weaken, and the inventory is expected to increase seasonally later. There were 406 photovoltaic glass production lines in production in China, with a total daily melting volume of 87,000 tons per day, a 1.36% decrease month - on - month and an 11.64% decrease year - on - year.

Core Viewpoint - The coal industry is experiencing a significant price increase due to rising demand driven by cold winter expectations and constrained supply, with prices surpassing 800 yuan/ton, marking a new high for the year [1][2][4]. Price Trends - The coal price index for thermal coal at ports has risen over 6% quarter-on-quarter in Q3, with November seeing further increases, breaking the 800 yuan/ton barrier [2][4]. - A notable single-day price surge of over 98 yuan/ton was reported for high-calorie coal during a sales auction in Shaanxi [4]. - The price of imported coal has also increased, with Newcastle's high-calorie thermal coal futures rising from 104 USD/ton to 110.45 USD/ton [4]. Supply and Demand Dynamics - The coal supply is under pressure due to production constraints, with a significant reduction in output since July 2023, leading to a year-on-year decrease in coal production [6][7]. - The National Energy Administration's checks on coal mine overproduction have resulted in a monthly production reduction of approximately 10 million tons compared to the previous 18-month average [6]. - The overall coal production for the year is expected to decline by 50 million tons, reaching around 475 million tons [6].
