Report Summary 1. Industry Investment Rating No industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - Historically, the A-share market has a typical calendar effect, with the "Spring Rally" occurring around the end of the year, through the Spring Festival, and until the "Two Sessions." It has rarely been absent, lasting about 40 trading days on average, with the Wind All A Index rising an average of 20% and a median increase of 15%. The rally tends to favor small-cap growth stocks [1][5]. - The core logic behind the "Spring Rally" lies in the performance vacuum period, which creates room for expectation games. Positive policy expectations from the beginning - of - year policy kick - off and the "Two Sessions," seasonal improvement in liquidity, and abundant theme investment opportunities contribute to a positive feedback loop of "fund inflow - price increase - further fund inflow" [1]. - The continuation of the "Spring Rally" requires dynamic attention to core drivers such as policies, liquidity, and risk preferences. Key time points include before the Spring Festival and around the second quarter. The full - year market requires both "valuation + earnings" dual - wheel drive, especially driven by the consensus of earnings repair [2][24]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 "Spring Rally" Review - Except for 2022 (unilateral decline) and 2015 (atypical unilateral rise), the "Spring Rally" has occurred in other years since 2010. It usually starts between December and January, with 5 times starting in December, 7 times in January, and 3 times in February. The average duration is about 40 trading days, and the Wind All A Index rises an average of 20% with a median increase of 15%. Small - cap growth stocks are favored in 8 out of 15 rallies [5]. 3.2 "Spring Rally" Driving Factors - The "Spring Rally" is driven by liquidity and policy expectations rather than performance. After the new year, institutional funds replenish positions, and there is a peak in credit issuance. Economic data and corporate earnings are in a vacuum, and policies create a positive atmosphere at the beginning of the year. If the market has adjusted significantly before the rally, the subsequent increase is often higher than average [9]. 3.3 Turning Drivers of the "Spring Rally" - The turning points in the "Spring Rally" are mainly affected by internal and external factors. Internally, a shift in policies, such as a reduction in the intensity of pro - growth policies or actions to cool the stock market, can lead to market adjustments. Externally, overseas economic recessions, geopolitical events, or trade frictions can also impact the domestic market [12][13]. - In early 2019, after the market adjustment in 2018, policies turned to "Six Stabilities" at the end of 2018, leading to a significant "Spring Rally." However, in the second quarter of 2019, the Politburo meeting did not mention "Six Stabilities" and re - emphasized "housing is for living in, not for speculation," and trade frictions reignited, causing the rally to end [14][17]. - In early 2012, after the market decline in 2011, policies shifted at the end of 2011, resulting in a "Spring Rally." The rally ended due to policy tightening, pessimistic economic expectations, and external factors such as the re - emergence of the European debt crisis and the US fiscal cliff issue [19][20]. 3.4 Two - stage Focus for the Current "Spring Rally" - To predict the sustainability or inflection point of the current "Spring Rally," it is necessary to track the realization of positive expectations and key time points. Before the Spring Festival, pay attention to the local "Two Sessions," the confirmation or refutation of easing expectations, and the appointment of the new Fed chair. Around the second quarter, focus on events such as Trump's possible visit to China in April, the Politburo meeting in late April, the verification of real - world demand and macro data during the "Golden March and Silver April," and corporate earnings reports [23][24].

Core Viewpoint - The spring market is characterized by a continuous favorable time window for bullish investments, with a significant increase in risk appetite and no major downside risks anticipated [2][3]. Group 1: Market Dynamics - The spring season is expected to see a sustained increase in market participation, driven by factors such as ETF inflows, insurance sector performance, and foreign capital repatriation [3]. - The absence of major economic downturn risks in January creates a typical favorable time window for investments, with February and March presenting additional opportunities for market rebounds and policy catalysts [3]. - The current overall profit-making effect in the A-share market is slightly above the historical median, indicating room for further expansion in profit-making opportunities [3]. Group 2: Investment Themes - Industry themes such as commercial aerospace, robotics, and nuclear fusion are identified as having the strongest profit-making potential, with venture capital financing marking a turning point for pricing in the primary market [8]. - The insurance and brokerage sectors are already realizing their potential due to mid-term bull market expectations, while policy themes related to consumer services and Hainan are expected to provide rotation clues [8]. - The AI industry chain is currently viewed as having weaker beta, with short-term opportunities primarily arising from thematic cues in the TMT sector [8]. Group 3: Market Sentiment and Indicators - The sentiment indicators show a strong upward momentum, with the overall A-share market demonstrating a positive trend in profit-making effects across various sectors [10][11]. - Specific sectors such as defense, non-ferrous metals, and electronics are experiencing significant profit-making effect expansions, with percentages indicating continued growth [11][12]. - The market is expected to enter a phase of policy and technological validation in the second quarter of 2026, with a potential confirmation of a new trading range for A-shares [3][8].

Group 1 - The core value of the Science and Technology Innovation 200 ETF (科创200ETF) lies in its tracking of the Shanghai Stock Exchange Science and Technology Innovation 200 Index, which is composed of companies listed on the Science and Technology Innovation Board for over a year without any risk warnings [1] - The sample space for the index is initially filtered to exclude larger stocks like 科创50 and 科创100, focusing on smaller companies with a daily average market capitalization ranking within the top 200 [1][2] - The index undergoes quarterly adjustments, allowing it to dynamically incorporate new stocks as the Science and Technology Innovation Board evolves, thus maintaining a focus on smaller-cap stocks [1][4] Group 2 - The 科创200 index is positioned as a small-cap index within the broader Science and Technology Innovation Board index system, complementing larger indices like 科创50 and 科创100 [2][5] - The median market capitalization of 科创200 is approximately 80 billion, which is between 中证1000 at 120 billion and 中证2000 at 50 billion [4][7] - The index is characterized by a significant focus on emerging industries, particularly in technology, with the largest sector being electronics at 33%, followed by pharmaceuticals at 21% and machinery at 12% [9][11] Group 3 - The top ten stocks in the 科创200 index have a combined weight of only 14%, indicating a relatively diversified portfolio despite the concentration in certain sectors [8][14] - The expected net profit growth for 科创200 is projected at 331% for 2025 and 76% for 2026, significantly higher than 中证2000 and 中证1000 [8][9] - The valuation level (PE-TTM) for 科创200 is at 296, which is relatively low compared to other indices, suggesting a unique investment opportunity in the small-cap growth segment [6][9]
