Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the relationship between interest rates and valuations, emphasizing that not all declining interest rate environments will lead to valuation increases. It outlines two primary methods for valuation enhancement: through accelerated growth or rising ROE, and through a low interest rate environment [3][23]. Group 1: Valuation Enhancement Methods - Valuation can be enhanced through two methods: one is during the accelerated growth or ROE upturn phase, and the other is in a low interest rate environment [3][23]. - In a low interest rate environment, the valuation is influenced by both the numerator (ROE) and the denominator (interest rates and risk premiums) [4][30]. - The relationship between valuation and ROE is positively correlated across countries, while the relationship between valuation and interest rates varies, showing positive, weak, or negative correlations depending on the country [4][31]. Group 2: Scenarios for Valuation Increase - Valuation increases during a declining interest rate phase are most evident in environments of extreme liquidity, where short-term real interest rates drop significantly [7][42]. - If economic recovery is strong, valuations will rise alongside interest rates due to inflation expectations, as seen in the post-pandemic U.S. [8][47]. - In cases of economic deflation, profit and inflation expectations may lead to further declines in valuations, as observed in Japan in the 1990s and Italy in the 2010s [8][47]. Group 3: Valuation and Interest Rate Dynamics - The average PB valuation low point for developed countries is 0.85 times, corresponding to an average interest rate of 2.46% [9][10]. - The low point of valuations is influenced by fundamentals, while the low point of interest rates is determined by monetary liquidity [9][10]. - Countries with strong fundamentals (e.g., U.S., Japan, Germany, France) tend to see valuation increases in sectors with comparative advantages, such as consumer discretionary, technology, and healthcare [12][47]. Group 4: A-share Market Valuation Potential - As interest rates decline, the extent of valuation increases diminishes, indicating a reduced sensitivity of valuations to interest rates [15][17]. - For example, when interest rates are at 4%, a 20% decline leads to a 16.9% increase in valuation; however, at 1.6%, the same decline results in only a 9.5% increase [15][16]. Group 5: Sector Performance During Interest Rate Changes - In the A-share market, sectors such as utilities and coal saw valuation increases when interest rates fell from 3.2% to 2.2%, while sectors driven by economic conditions, like TMT, performed better when rates fell from 2.2% to 1.6% [17][20]. - The performance of stable assets may not yield excess returns in the later stages of declining interest rates, as market dynamics shift towards growth-oriented assets [17][20].

Core Viewpoint - The article reviews the transition patterns of six cyclical growth industries: new energy vehicles, photovoltaics, semiconductors, smartphones, mobile internet, and optical modules, proposing an investment framework of "cash flow improvement → capacity construction → profit release" to identify the conversion nodes from thematic consensus to performance realization [1][2]. Group 1: Investment Framework - Thematic investment focuses on the period from "concept germination" to "narrative consensus," relying on market imagination of long-term prospects to drive valuation increases, emphasizing unrefuted growth expectations [2]. - Cyclical growth investment captures "industry transition momentum" by identifying mismatches between cash flow improvement and low ROE during periods of unclear narrative consensus, establishing an odds advantage [2]. - The article utilizes the Geske option model to quantify the non-linear value of technological generational differences, anchoring the pricing boundaries of thematic investments [2]. Group 2: Industry Review - New Energy Vehicles: The evolution of China's new energy vehicle industry shows a clear three-stage path: feasibility verification starting in 2008, product breakthrough with mass production and battery technology iteration, and penetration explosion leading to a valuation system reconstruction [5][6]. - Photovoltaics: The Chinese photovoltaic industry has experienced three cycles characterized by policy-driven global installation surges, domestic policy support leading to grid parity, and a current phase of high growth driven by carbon neutrality and structural overcapacity [12][19]. - Semiconductors: The Chinese semiconductor industry has undergone three transitions, starting with basic production line construction, followed by accelerated policy-driven autonomy, and currently focusing on advanced process research and development amid US-China tensions [23][24]. Group 3: Future Investment Opportunities - The article suggests focusing on long-term investment opportunities in technology manufacturing fields such as AI+, intelligent driving, humanoid robots, low-altitude economy, commercial aerospace, biomanufacturing, future energy, and advanced semiconductor processes [1][2].
