Group 1: Report Investment Rating - No investment rating information provided in the report Group 2: Core Views - The spot price of live pigs is weakly operating, and the futures price is also in a weak state. The 9 - month supply and demand of live pigs both increase, but due to the inventory cycle turning from inventory accumulation to de - stocking and the production capacity cycle entering the incremental release stage, the probability of a weak peak season before the double festivals increases, and the spot price is still in the process of finding the bottom [2][3] - The LH2511 contract in the futures market is currently in a situation of high - capacity realization, high inventory, and high premium. It is temporarily anchored at the self - breeding and self - raising cost of 12,000 yuan/ton. Consider shorting the valuation of the May contract, and pay attention to stop - profit and stop - loss [4] Group 3: Summary by Directory This Week's Market Review (9.5 - 9.21) - **Spot Market**: The price of live pigs is weakly operating. The price of 20KG piglets in Henan is 27.4 yuan/kg, the price of live pigs in Henan is 13.48 yuan/kg, and the price of 50KG binary sows nationwide is 1,595 yuan/head, all remaining unchanged from last week. The supply is still loose, and the demand is weak. The average slaughter weight nationwide is 124.72KG, with a month - on - month increase of 0.24% [2] - **Futures Market**: The price of the live - pig futures LH2511 contract is weakly operating. The highest price is 13,335 yuan/ton, the lowest price is 12,770 yuan/ton, and the closing price is 12,825 yuan/ton, down from 13,255 yuan/ton last week. The basis of the LH2511 contract is 105 yuan/ton, down from 225 yuan/ton last week [2] Next Week's Market Outlook (9.22 - 9.28) - **Spot Market**: The spot price of live pigs is expected to operate weakly. In September, the supply pressure is large, and the demand has a seasonal increase. The inventory cycle is changing from inventory accumulation to de - stocking, and the production capacity cycle is in the incremental release stage, so the probability of a weak peak season before the double festivals increases [3] - **Futures Market**: The LH2511 contract is currently facing high - capacity realization, high inventory, and high premium. It is temporarily anchored at 12,000 yuan/ton. The price of piglets is expected to continue to decline, and it is considered to short the valuation of the May contract. The short - term support level of the LH2511 contract is 12,000 yuan/ton, and the pressure level is 13,500 yuan/ton [4] Key Data - **Basis and Monthly Spread**: This week's basis is 105 yuan/ton, and the LH2511 - LH2601 monthly spread is - 525 yuan/ton [9] - **Production and Import**: In July, the pork output is 5.011 million tons, with a month - on - month decrease of 5.4%; the pork import is 88,300 tons, with a month - on - month decrease of 0.18% [12]

Summary of Conference Call Records Industry or Company Involved - The discussion revolves around the **反内卷 (Anti-Involution) policy** and its implications across various industries, including **traditional manufacturing** (steel, coal, building materials) and **emerging manufacturing** (photovoltaics, lithium batteries, new energy vehicles) [1][5][6]. Core Points and Arguments 1. **Introduction of Anti-Involution Policy**: The policy was first proposed in July 2024 and aims to address overcapacity issues in both traditional and emerging manufacturing sectors, with acceleration expected in Q2 2025 [1][3]. 2. **Current Supply-Side Situation**: The domestic supply-side situation is characterized by a third capacity cycle's downward phase, which has lasted nearly four years since late 2021, leading to significant overcapacity in certain industries [2][5]. 3. **Differences from Previous Supply-Side Reforms**: Unlike the previous reforms focused mainly on steel and coal through administrative measures, the current policy encompasses a broader range of industries and is driven more by industry self-discipline rather than strict government mandates [5][8]. 4. **Indicators for Evaluating Industry Performance**: Key indicators for assessing industry performance under the Anti-Involution policy include **industrial added value**, **PPI (Producer Price Index)**, and **capacity** [1][6]. 5. **Emerging Industries' Challenges**: New energy sectors, despite low price indicators, are experiencing a negative cycle of price-for-volume exchanges, necessitating external intervention to break this cycle [6][10]. 6. **Need for Comprehensive Approaches**: The current demand landscape is more complex, influenced by local government competition and new entrants, requiring a more integrated approach to effectively reduce excess capacity [7][8]. 7. **Real-Time Monitoring of Prices**: Price is identified as the core indicator that needs continuous tracking to navigate the complexities of the current market environment [9][10]. Other Important but Possibly Overlooked Content 1. **Evaluation Metrics**: The willingness of enterprises to participate can be gauged by the proportion of loss-making companies and interest coverage ratios, while long-term sustainability can be assessed through concentration trends and the proportion of state-owned enterprises [11]. 2. **Capital Expenditure Trends**: Changes in capital expenditure and government subsidy trends are critical for understanding the resistance to capacity reduction across various sectors [11][12]. 3. **Sector-Specific Insights**: Industries such as steel, glass, and the new energy chain are highlighted as areas requiring focused attention due to their unique challenges and performance metrics [12][13]. 4. **Pathways to Overcome Involution**: Industries can escape involution through policy-driven profit certainty, breaking negative cycles, and ensuring price stability [9][10]. This summary encapsulates the key insights from the conference call, providing a comprehensive overview of the Anti-Involution policy's implications across various sectors and the necessary metrics for evaluation.

Summary of Key Points from Conference Call Records Industry or Company Involved - The discussion primarily revolves around the A-share market strategy and the Volcker Model, which evaluates market performance through various dimensions including valuation, earnings, cycles, macro policies, overseas environment, and liquidity [1][3][5]. Core Insights and Arguments - **Volcker Model Components**: The model consists of six dimensions: Valuation (W), Earnings (E), Cycles (L), Macro Policies (C), Overseas Environment (O), and Liquidity (M). These factors collectively influence market performance, with macro policies and overseas environment primarily affecting valuation and fundamentals [3][5]. - **Asset Allocation Trends**: As per the report, when per capita income in China reaches $10,000, the proportion of non-financial assets will likely decline while financial assets will increase, particularly in fixed income and savings [1][8]. - **Corporate Lifecycle Stages**: Companies are categorized into five lifecycle stages: embryonic, expansion, high growth, maturity, and decline, each requiring different valuation methods such as PS, PEG, PE, and PB [1][10][11]. - **Macroeconomic Indicators**: Key indicators like GDP growth and CPI recovery are crucial for market and industry allocation. Adjustments in consumer sector allocations may be necessary if inflation expectations change in the latter half of the year [1][12]. - **Market Earnings Expectations**: The market earnings forecast for 2025 has been revised from 1% to 3.5%, based on macroeconomic indicators and industrial production data [1][15][16]. Other Important but Possibly Overlooked Content - **Impact of Population Cycle**: The slowing population growth in recent years has exerted pressure on income, indirectly affecting the performance of the A-share market [7]. - **Technological Cycles**: Different technological cycles impact various sectors, and market expectations play a significant role in assessing the prospects of technology sectors within the A-share market [9]. - **Monetary and Fiscal Policies**: The prolonged period of loose monetary policy has diminished its marginal impact on the market, while fiscal policy is gaining more attention, especially in light of external and internal economic conditions [14]. - **Liquidity Analysis**: Macro liquidity is assessed through both quantity (M1, M2, credit) and price (risk-free interest rates), which significantly influence stock market performance [19][20]. - **Market Bottom Indicators**: The assessment of the A-share market bottom in September 2024 was based on extreme turnover rates and low trading volumes, indicating potential recovery opportunities despite weak fundamentals [22]. - **Small vs. Large Cap Stocks**: Research indicates that small-cap stocks have outperformed large-cap stocks in recent years, influenced by macroeconomic expectations [26]. - **Industry Allocation Framework**: The GICS four-level industry classification system has been effectively used since 2013 to provide allocation recommendations, with outperforming sectors significantly beating the benchmark [27]. This summary encapsulates the essential insights and data from the conference call records, providing a comprehensive overview of the A-share market strategy and its influencing factors.

Group 1: Investment Rating - No investment rating information is provided in the report. Group 2: Core Views - At the end of the month and the beginning of the next month, large - scale pig farming groups significantly reduced the supply, and the spot price fulfilled the market's rebound expectation. The planned slaughter volume of large - scale groups will increase in August, and small - scale farmers are forced to hold back pigs. There is still supply pressure in September. The production capacity cycle and inventory cycle will resonate from September to October, and it is advisable to engage in the 11 - 1 reverse spread. The sentiment for purchasing piglets has declined, and the price decline has accelerated, corresponding to a decrease in the slaughter cost from March to May. Attention should be paid to the downward - shifting driving force of the central price in March and May. There is an expectation of further policy regulation and implementation for the July contract, and it is mainly bullish in the short - term, with attention to stop - loss and take - profit.

Core Viewpoint - The overall performance recovery is slowing down, with mid-cap growth stocks showing outstanding growth. The expansion of the AI trend and manufacturing overseas is expected to drive continued capacity cycle expansion, maintaining a differentiated structure of cyclical growth [1][2]. Group 1: Overall Performance - In H1 2025, the net profit of the entire A-share non-financial sector increased by 1.59% year-on-year, with revenue growth at 0.66%, indicating strong resilience despite rising operating costs leading to a narrowing of gross profit growth [2]. - The performance growth is differentiated across sectors, with the main board, ChiNext, and North Exchange showing a slowdown, while the growth of the Sci-Tech Innovation Board rebounded significantly [2]. - Mid-cap stocks outperformed in growth, while large-cap stocks showed resilience, and small-cap stocks experienced a noticeable decline [2]. Group 2: Sector Performance - The technology growth sector, including optical electronics, semiconductors, and communication equipment, continued to show high prosperity driven by overseas AI investments and domestic substitution demand [3]. - The cyclical sector faced pressure, but precious metals and minor metals still grew rapidly due to rising expectations of overseas interest rate cuts and tight supply [3]. - Essential consumption faced general pressure, but sectors like breeding, feed, and animal health showed significant growth due to capacity reduction and the expansion of the pet economy [3]. Group 3: Capacity Operation - In Q2 2025, traditional cyclical resources and equipment manufacturing industries are experiencing strong capacity decommissioning intentions, while emerging industries and new materials are showing expansion characteristics [4]. - The capacity utilization rate in emerging technology hardware and some consumer industries remains high, with marginal improvements observed [4]. - The capacity cycle is entering an expansion phase, particularly in emerging technology industries, new consumption, and certain cyclical materials [4].

Core Conclusions - The report emphasizes the importance of focusing on low-position elastic sectors during the mid-bull market phase, suggesting that these sectors may experience significant rebounds due to their low valuations, low holdings, and low growth rates [3][14]. - The report identifies a shift in market styles, indicating that while the TMT sector has led the recent market rally, there is potential for growth in previously underperforming sectors as economic conditions improve and policies shift [3][14]. Market Style Discussion - Recent market performance shows that the TMT sector has outperformed, driven by strong fundamentals in AI investments, which are on an upward trajectory globally [3][13]. - The report suggests that mid-bull market sectors are likely to expand, and it is advisable to pay attention to low-position sectors that may benefit from style shifts, particularly those with improving policies or fundamentals [14][15]. - Historical data indicates that the style of leading sectors during the mid-bull market often differs from that of the early bull market, with sectors that performed well initially not necessarily maintaining their momentum [16][18]. Sector Recommendations - Non-bank financials are highlighted as a sector with high certainty of performance improvement and still low valuations [15]. - The military and non-ferrous metals sectors are recommended due to favorable supply-demand dynamics and limited impact from macroeconomic changes [15]. - The media sector is noted for its favorable policy environment and relatively high valuation attractiveness compared to other AI sub-sectors [15]. - Cyclical sectors such as steel, construction materials, and chemicals are expected to benefit from supply-side policies and potential demand-side support, with low valuations making them attractive [15][24]. Style and Sector Analysis - The report discusses the potential for style shifts in the market, particularly as low-valuation sectors may see increased interest from institutional investors due to low holdings and the anticipated shift in market focus [21][22]. - The analysis indicates that sectors currently at low valuations, low holdings, and low growth rates include construction decoration, petroleum and petrochemicals, and real estate, which may present opportunities for recovery [23][24]. Seasonal Trends - The report notes that September typically shows weak seasonal trends for market styles, with a higher probability of style shifts occurring in Q4 [25][26]. - Historical data suggests that while small-cap growth has dominated in August, the likelihood of value styles gaining traction increases as the year progresses into the fourth quarter [26].
