Group 1 - The core index of the Sci-Tech Innovation Board, the Sci-Tech 50 Index, surged nearly 6% to surpass 1200 points, reaching a new high in over three years [1] - Among the constituent stocks, Yuntian Lifei and Pinggao Co. hit the 20% daily limit, while Haiguang Information and Shengmei Shanghai rose over 17%, and Cambrian Technology increased by over 13% [2] - According to Zheshang Securities, nearly half of the companies represented by the Sci-Tech 100 and Sci-Tech 200 indices are showing signs of reversal as of Q1 2025, indicating a bottoming out of profits for larger market cap companies [2] Group 2 - The analysis draws parallels to the bull market in the ChiNext board from 2013 to 2015, which was divided into three phases: expectation-driven, industry prosperity-driven, and capital sentiment-driven [2] - The main upward phase of the current market is expected to be driven by improvements in AI and innovative pharmaceuticals, with the Sci-Tech Board entering its main upward phase since June of this year [2] - Current fund allocation levels indicate that the Sci-Tech Board is at a similar configuration level to the early stages of the ChiNext bull market, suggesting potential for further upward movement [2]

Group 1 - The strong upward trend of state-owned banks may not have ended, as there is potential for multiple phases of market performance driven by macro narratives and industry prosperity [1][2][15] - Historical trends show that macro-driven industries, such as liquor and white goods, can experience multiple significant price increases over time, while industry prosperity-driven trends typically exhibit a single strong upward movement followed by a consolidation phase [1][14] Group 2 - Currently, state-owned banks do not show signs of overheating, with transaction volume deviation from historical norms at a maximum of 63.59% for 2025, compared to over 100% for other industries during their strong upward trends [3][29] - Forward valuation metrics indicate that the price-to-earnings ratio (PE) for state-owned banks is only 28.72%, significantly lower than the peaks seen in liquor and white goods sectors [3][33] - Institutional holdings in state-owned banks remain low, fluctuating between 1% and 2%, which suggests a lower risk of counterparties compared to other sectors [3][35] Group 3 - Recent market fluctuations, including significant downward movements in state-owned banks on June 27 and July 11, are not uncommon in strong upward trends and do not necessarily indicate a trend reversal [4][36] - The overall market sentiment remains positive, with A-shares showing resilience against external shocks, and the upward trend in indices is expected to continue [5][39]

Core Viewpoint - The current market dynamics show a significant divergence between the Hong Kong and A-share markets, with Hong Kong stocks experiencing a bull market while A-shares remain in a state of fluctuation. This divergence is primarily driven by the concentration of high-quality core assets in the Hong Kong market, particularly in sectors such as the internet, hard technology, smart vehicles, and innovative pharmaceuticals [1][2][3]. Market Divergence - As of March 7, the Hang Seng Technology Index has recorded a cumulative return of 27.8%, leading global major indices, while the A-share market has shown only modest gains, with the STAR 50 Index rising by 16% and the CSI 300 Index showing minimal increase. The cumulative performance of core assets in A-shares and Hong Kong stocks from January 10, 2025, indicates a 9% increase for A-shares compared to a 51% increase for Hong Kong stocks [3][4]. - The concentration of new economy assets in Hong Kong is notable, with high consensus and strong certainty in sectors such as domestic computing power, the internet, smart vehicles, and innovative pharmaceuticals. The Hang Seng Technology Index covers key assets in these areas, and many Hong Kong companies are still in the early stages of profit recovery, suggesting significant potential for future earnings improvement [3][4]. A-share Market Characteristics - A-share core assets exhibit cyclical characteristics, with approximately 45% of companies yet to reach an operational turning point. The distribution of market capitalization among core assets shows a balanced representation across technology (25.1%), consumer (27.8%), and advanced manufacturing (19.2%). The cyclical nature of A-share core assets is closely tied to macroeconomic conditions, with historical turning points indicating a potential operational turning point between late 2024 and early 2025 [4][5]. - Many public funds face restrictions on investing in Hong Kong stocks, leading to performance anxiety among institutional investors. Approximately 60% of equity public funds lack Hong Kong Stock Connect permissions, which limits their investment scope and forces them to focus on A-shares, resulting in a disparity in asset quality and performance [5][6]. Transition from Macro to Industry Focus - The market is transitioning from a macro-driven environment to one focused on industry dynamics. The clarity of policy direction and the reduction of macroeconomic volatility suggest that market participants should shift their attention from macro concerns to industry trends, particularly in technology and innovation sectors [6][7]. - The current macroeconomic environment is characterized by stabilization in consumption and real estate, with a focus on structural opportunities driven by technological advancements. This shift mirrors the asset recovery period seen in the U.S. from 2010 to 2015, indicating a need for investors to prioritize industry trends over macroeconomic fluctuations [8][9]. Investment Opportunities - In light of the clear policy expectations and the normalization of macroeconomic volatility, the focus should be on A-share "new core assets." Key sectors such as domestic computing power, edge AI, high-density energy batteries, and innovative pharmaceuticals are expected to see significant thematic catalysts and industry upturns, particularly with new product launches from leading companies [11][12].
