Core Viewpoint - The 2025 technology structural bull market is considered "Bull Market 1.0," with a potential peak in spring 2026, followed by a comprehensive bull market termed "Bull Market 2.0" in the second half of 2026 [1] Group 1: Market Trends - The AI industry trend is expected to deepen, but the cost-effectiveness of the A-share AI industry chain is deemed low, similar to previous years in 2014, 2018, and 2021 [1] - A mid-2026 supply clearing in midstream manufacturing is anticipated, with a notable increase in sectors where capacity growth is lower than demand growth [1] - The sequence of "policy bottom, market bottom, economic bottom" is expected to occur, with mid-2026 potentially validating the "policy bottom" [1] Group 2: Investment Recommendations - Investors are advised to focus on three main lines in 2026: 1. Recovery trading sectors such as cyclical Alpha, basic chemicals, and industrial metals 2. Technology industry trend sectors including AI industry chain, humanoid robots, energy storage, photovoltaics, pharmaceuticals, and military industry 3. Sectors related to manufacturing influence enhancement, such as chemicals and engineering machinery [2] - The transition from Bull Market 1.0 to 2.0 is characterized by high dividend defensiveness, with the latter stage driven by cyclical policies and technological trends [2]

Core Viewpoint - The report from Shenwan Hongyuan indicates that the current "Bull Market 1.0" is at a high point, with insufficient long-term cost-effectiveness in the technology sector. The technology structural bull market of 2025 is part of this phase, and a potential peak may occur in the spring of 2026 [1][2]. Group 1: Market Phases - The "Bull Market 1.0" is characterized by high resistance to further upward movement, with cyclical trends still in a "running ahead" phase. The conditions for the initiation of "Bull Market 2.0" are not yet complete [2][4]. - The current A-share AI industry chain is compared to previous market phases, indicating a state of "ongoing industry trend with small fluctuations and long-term low cost-effectiveness." Future movements are expected to be divided into "high-level oscillation" and "adjustment" phases [2][3]. Group 2: High-Level Oscillation Phase - In the high-level oscillation phase, it becomes increasingly difficult to earn valuation gains, and new industry catalysts or sustained high growth in performance are less likely to lead to upward breakthroughs. This phase typically lasts at a quarterly level [3][4]. - The adjustment phase is usually triggered by intermediate disturbances in industry trends, which do not signify the end of the structural bull market but may lead to reasonable adjustments [3][4]. Group 3: Investment Opportunities - Short-term opportunities in technology growth are expected to arise from small rebounds, focusing on sectors with new catalysts and significant industry space, particularly in energy storage and storage solutions [4][5]. - The report emphasizes the importance of focusing on Alpha logic in both cyclical and technology investments, with a particular interest in sectors like basic chemicals, industrial metals, innovative pharmaceuticals, and national defense [5]. Group 4: 2026 Outlook - The spring of 2026 is anticipated to be a potential peak, but it is unlikely to represent the highest point of the entire bull market. The market is expected to face three challenges: long-term low cost-effectiveness in technology, intermediate disturbances in industry trends, and the conditions for "Bull Market 2.0" not being mature yet [4][5]. - The report suggests that the A-share market will continue to see mid-term gains from cyclical improvements, asset allocation shifts towards equities, and China's increasing global influence [5].

Core Viewpoint - The current A-share market is in the high position of "Bull Market 1.0," with insufficient long-term cost-effectiveness in the technology sector and logical breaks in the cyclical market. Conditions for the initiation of Bull Market 2.0 are not yet complete [1] Group 1: Market Conditions - The A-share AI industry chain is in a state of "long-term low cost-effectiveness" similar to previous years in various sectors, indicating a high-level consolidation phase followed by an adjustment phase [2] - The high-level consolidation phase typically lasts at a quarterly level, and adjustments are triggered by mid-level disturbances in the industry trend, but this does not signify the end of the industry trend [2] Group 2: Cyclical Market Analysis - The recent cyclical market is characterized by short-term price increases and expectations of PPI turning positive by mid-2026, but there is significant divergence regarding the pace of PPI improvement [3] - The cyclical market is approaching a differentiation phase as cost-effectiveness decreases, and the sustainability of price increases becomes more critical [3] Group 3: Future Challenges - By spring 2026, the A-share market may face three major challenges: the technology sector's long-term low cost-effectiveness, a critical verification period for demand, and immature conditions for the transition to Bull Market 2.0 [4][5] - The market is expected to experience a two-stage bull market, with the first stage being the structural bull market in 2025 and a potential peak in spring 2026 [4][6] Group 4: Investment Opportunities - In the current high-level consolidation phase, the focus should be on Alpha opportunities in both cyclical and technology sectors, with an emphasis on sectors with favorable supply-demand dynamics and high dividend yields [7] - Short-term opportunities in technology growth are expected to arise from small rebounds, particularly in sectors with new catalysts or significant industry space, such as energy storage and innovative pharmaceuticals [7]

Core Insights - The report indicates that the current "Bull Market 1.0" phase is at a high level, with insufficient long-term cost-effectiveness in the technology sector, and increasing resistance to further upward breakthroughs. The cyclical market is still in a "running ahead" phase, with mid-term logic showing gaps, and conditions for the initiation of "Bull Market 2.0" are not yet complete. It is advised to focus on small wave rhythms based on short-term cost-effectiveness in a high-level oscillation market [1][4][6] - The A-share AI industry chain is currently in a state of "the major industrial trend has not ended + small fluctuations + long-term low cost-effectiveness area." Historical experience suggests that future trends will typically be divided into "high-level oscillation phase" and "adjustment phase" [1][4][6] - The report outlines three challenges that the A-share market may face in the spring of 2026, which could be a potential peak: 1. Long-term low cost-effectiveness in technology, which may trigger adjustments; 2. A critical verification period for demand-side conditions; 3. Conditions for the transition to "Bull Market 2.0" are not yet mature [1][6][7] Market Phases - The high-level oscillation phase makes it increasingly difficult to earn valuation money, and new industrial catalysts or sustained high growth in performance are less likely to lead to upward breakthroughs. This phase typically lasts at a quarterly level, and adjustments may not occur immediately [4][5][6] - The adjustment phase is usually triggered by intermediate disturbances in industrial trends, which do not signify the end of structural bulls but may adjust to reasonable levels between bull and bear markets [5][6][7] Investment Focus - In the current high-level oscillation zone, both cyclical and technology sectors should focus on Alpha opportunities. Short-term cyclical investments should prioritize sectors with favorable supply-demand dynamics, such as basic chemicals and industrial metals, as well as high-dividend-rewarding coal and leading oil companies in Hong Kong [1][6][7] - Short-term opportunities in technology growth mainly come from small wave rebounds, with a focus on sectors with new catalysts or significant industrial space, particularly energy storage and storage solutions. Additionally, sectors with upward economic outlooks and relatively high cost-effectiveness may see early gains before spring 2026, especially in innovative pharmaceuticals and national defense industries [1][6][8]
