Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided on the report industry investment rating Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - The current momentum of convertible bonds comes from the equity market. In a slow - bull equity environment, the trend of convertible bonds remains unchanged, but the upward momentum has shifted from the first stage of rapid growth driven by both the underlying stock and valuation to the second stage of slow and volatile growth. This week's significant decline in valuation is likely a short - term low point. In the long run, convertible bonds are still relatively high - quality assets, and the market outlook remains positive, with more trading opportunities. The bond - selection strategy should not be overly aggressive [5][8] Group 3: Summary by Directory 1. Convertible Bond Viewpoint: Valuation Adjustment Does Not Alter the Slow - Bull Market - Since late June, convertible bonds have risen with equities but experienced a significant pullback this week. The sharp compression of valuation led to underperformance compared to the underlying stocks, with the 100 - yuan premium rate compressed by over 4 percentage points. The adjustment was expected, but the magnitude was large. In an environment where fixed - income investors seek returns from equities due to declining pure - bond yields, the valuation of convertible bonds has continuously broken previous highs. High valuations do not cause trend - changing disturbances in a bull market but increase volatility during corrections. During this adjustment, there were signs of redemptions in secondary bond funds, while primary bond funds remained relatively stable, and ETFs continued to see net inflows [5][8] - This week, equities continued to rise with increasing trading volume. The margin trading balance exceeded 2.2 trillion yuan, and the securities ETF had the largest net inflow. Driven by the "Artificial Intelligence +" policy, semiconductors and communication equipment (AI computing power chain) led the gains, and lithium - battery stocks led the rise due to strong performance from leading companies. While the market rose, volatility increased. The corrections on Tuesday and Wednesday cooled down the rapidly rising market, which is overall beneficial and lays a foundation for the slow - bull market [5][8] 2.
