- The report introduces a quantitative model framework for market trend analysis, focusing on five asset style stages: external growth, quality growth, quality dividend, value dividend, and bankruptcy value. The model evaluates assets based on their intrinsic attributes and prioritizes them using the sequence of g > ROE > D, analyzing whether there are "good assets" and whether they are "expensive" [5][8][9] - The model incorporates key factors such as expected growth (gf), actual growth (g), profitability (ROE), high dividend (D), and bankruptcy value (B/P). Each factor is associated with specific market phases, e.g., expected growth is relevant across all phases, while profitability is emphasized during maturity phases [9][12] - The quantitative model has demonstrated strong historical performance, achieving an annualized return of 27.67% since 2009. It has shown consistent excess returns in most years, particularly post-2017, with limited effectiveness in years like 2011, 2012, and 2016 [19][22] - The model's backtesting results for specific years include notable excess returns, such as 51% in 2009, 36% in 2013, and 62% in 2022.

Current recommendations include photovoltaic equipment, insurance, and coal chemical sectors [40][41] - **Profitability Strategy**: Targets high-ROE industries with low valuations under the PB-ROE framework. Recommended sectors include copper, liquor, and non-dairy beverages [43][44] - **Quality Dividend Strategy**: Utilizes a DP+ROE scoring system to identify industries. Current recommendations include forestry, lithium equipment, and fiberglass [46][47] - **Value Dividend Strategy**: Employs a DP+BP scoring system. Recommended sectors include security, daily chemicals, and buses [49][50] - **Bankruptcy Value Strategy**: Focuses on industries with the lowest PB+SIZE scores. Current recommendations include automotive sales, ceramics, and cotton textiles [53][54]

The recommendation is to allocate to large finance and midstream manufacturing sectors[18][20] - The **fundamental indicators** include historical prosperity, prosperity changes, and prosperity expectations. As of January 31, 2026, the top five industries ranked by fundamental factors are non-bank finance, non-ferrous metals, electronics, automobiles, and communication, while the bottom five are real estate, construction, coal, petroleum and petrochemicals, and agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, and fishery[21][22] - The **technical indicators** include index momentum, leading stock momentum, and candlestick patterns. As of January 31, 2026, the top five industries ranked by technical factors are communication, media, basic chemicals, non-ferrous metals, and building materials, while the bottom five are construction, electricity and utilities, transportation, real estate, and home appliances[25][28] - The **crowding indicators** include financing inflows, turnover rate, and transaction proportion. As of January 31, 2026, the industries with the highest crowding levels are defense and military, petroleum and petrochemicals, non-ferrous metals, media, and basic chemicals, while the industries with the lowest crowding levels are textiles and apparel, automobiles, transportation, non-bank finance, and banking[26][29] - The **industry rotation comprehensive scoring system** combines positive scores from macroeconomic, fundamental, and technical dimensions while negatively configuring crowding factors.
