Core Viewpoint - The market consensus is gradually shifting towards the initiation of a bull market, but there are significant short-term divergences among investors regarding market conditions and expectations [3][4]. Short-term Market Challenges - The market faces several short-term challenges, including expectations of economic slowdown in Q3 2025 and a policy focus on structural adjustments, which may not support a breakout in indices [2][3]. - The main structural narrative of the bull market has yet to be established, with current high momentum sectors like pharmaceuticals and overseas computing being seen as independent trends rather than the core narrative of the bull market [3][4]. Potential Bull Market Directions - Two potential directions for the bull market structure include: 1. Breakthroughs in domestic technology, particularly in AI and robotics, which could lead to a broader market expansion across infrastructure, hardware, software applications, and business models [3][4]. 2. High global market share manufacturing engaging in anti-involution strategies, which could enhance industry concentration and pricing power [3][4]. Market Sentiment and Future Outlook - The bull market atmosphere is expected to persist despite unfavorable macroeconomic conditions in Q3, as the long-term supply-demand dynamics are projected to improve by 2026 [4][5]. - Key factors that could impact the bull market sentiment include significant demand declines around mid-2026 and constraints on China's manufacturing competitiveness [5][6]. Sector Performance and Investment Opportunities - Short-term strong sectors include pharmaceuticals and overseas computing, which reflect high growth expectations but may face challenges in maintaining independent performance [7][8]. - The defense and military sector is anticipated to have repeated opportunities before early September, while new consumption sectors may see rotational gains [8][10]. - The Hong Kong stock market is highlighted as a potentially leading market in the bull cycle, with a focus on pricing trends that align with fundamental expectations [8][10].

Group 1 - Investors generally expect a bull market, but there is increasing divergence regarding the short-term market outlook. Key short-term obstacles include economic downturn expectations for Q3 2025 and a policy focus on structural adjustments, which temporarily do not support an upward breakthrough of the index. The main bull market structure has yet to be established, with potential directions being domestic technological breakthroughs and high global market share manufacturing reversing inward competition [1][5][6] Group 2 - The bull market atmosphere is unlikely to disappear easily. Although the macroeconomic combination in Q3 is unfavorable, it will not affect the expected improvement in the supply-demand structure in 2026, only leading to minor adjustments. Key factors that could genuinely impact the bull market atmosphere include significant demand decline around mid-2026 and the competitiveness of Chinese manufacturing. If the competitive advantage of Chinese manufacturing is constrained, it could undermine the bull market atmosphere [7][8][9] Group 3 - Even if the market experiences adjustments, there will still be opportunities. Before the bull market main line is established, the market can maintain characteristics seen in recent times, such as sector rotation and high micro-activity, with small-cap growth continuing to outperform. This environment is characterized by a lack of demand highlights, a need for time in supply adjustments, and controllable risks in the stock market [9][10] Group 4 - The core view of the market remains unchanged: A-shares may experience fluctuations before early September, with inherent adjustment pressures afterward. Policies to stabilize capital market expectations may be re-initiated. Time is a friend of the bull market, as it supports fundamental improvements and incremental capital inflows. The expectation is that Q4 2025 will perform better than Q3 2025, with 2026 showing further improvements [10][11] Group 5 - Short-term strong sectors such as pharmaceuticals and overseas computing are high-prosperity directions that reflect market expectations for the bull market. However, the relative cost-effectiveness of these sectors has decreased, indicating that future performance may align more closely with the overall market. New consumption is currently a relatively high-cost-effective direction that may see a rotation in the near term [10][11]
