Summary of Key Points from Conference Call Records Industry Overview - The conference call discusses the Hong Kong stock market, particularly focusing on the technology sector and its performance in 2026 amid various pressures [1][3][4]. Core Insights and Arguments 1. **Market Conditions**: The Hong Kong stock market is expected to face dual pressures from both the numerator and denominator sides, with a challenging valuation logic anticipated for the upcoming quarter due to rising global risk-free rates and stagnant corporate earnings [1][4]. 2. **Liquidity Pressures**: The market is experiencing three main liquidity pressures: reduced inflow of southbound funds, lack of significant foreign investment, and a substantial number of IPOs (around 300 companies) creating a "bloodletting" effect on market liquidity [1][3]. 3. **Technology Sector Outlook**: Despite recent declines, the technology sector remains a key trading theme for 2026, characterized by high beta attributes and strong capital support. The semiconductor equipment segment is particularly highlighted due to expected demand from the construction of 30 new wafer fabs in China from 2024 to 2030 [1][10]. 4. **Valuation Concerns**: The current PE valuation for the technology sector is at the 80th percentile of the past five years, indicating a high valuation environment that may create favorable conditions for large tech IPOs later in the year [1][10]. 5. **Investment Strategies**: Investors are advised to adopt trading strategies such as wave trading or grid trading to capitalize on emotional sell-offs and to take profits after rebounds [1][10][6]. Additional Important Insights 1. **Differentiated Strategies for Investors**: Different strategies are recommended for trading and allocation investors. Trading investors should view market rebounds as technical corrections, while allocation investors should focus on longer-term positions and cost management [6][7]. 2. **Market Sentiment and Behavior**: The technology sector's recent performance indicates that it is still viewed as a mainline investment, with funds shifting towards it during market volatility, despite overall market declines [8][9]. 3. **Global Economic Context**: The macroeconomic environment is shifting from a loose to a moderately tight monetary policy, impacting the valuation of offshore markets like Hong Kong. This shift is evidenced by changes in interest rate expectations from the Federal Reserve [4][5]. 4. **Sector-Specific Challenges**: The technology sector faces challenges such as fierce competition and reliance on consumer spending, which have not shown significant improvement, leading to cautious investor sentiment regarding earnings prospects [5][6]. 5. **Future Market Dynamics**: The market is expected to experience increased differentiation in 2026 compared to 2025, with a more challenging environment for achieving returns due to high asset prices and volatility [12][27]. Conclusion The Hong Kong stock market, particularly the technology sector, is navigating a complex landscape of liquidity pressures, valuation concerns, and macroeconomic shifts. Investors are encouraged to adopt flexible strategies that account for market volatility and sector-specific dynamics while remaining cautious about the overall economic outlook.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The report does not explicitly mention the industry investment rating. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - A - share market shows significant endogenous resilience after a brief shock caused by the deterioration of global liquidity expectations triggered by the US - Iran conflict. The market has shifted from "over - stress" to the "passivation period" regarding external shocks, and the stock price repair window has opened [1]. - The market has a "high - low switch caused by panic venting" feature this week, with high - beta sectors such as electronics, computers, and media experiencing a sharp decline, creating a "golden pit." The mainstream funds' confidence in the long - term logic of the electronics sector remains unchanged, and high turnover indicates the potential for a rebound [1]. - In the future, a composite allocation of "defensive base, technological offense" should be maintained. The increase in resource prices may slow down the market repair slope but will not change the direction. It is recommended to opportunistically replenish sectors with endogenous growth power such as electronics, power equipment, and basic chemicals [1]. 3. Summary According to the Directory 3.1 Panic Emotions Have Been Digested, Entering the "Passivation Period" of External Risks - On February 28, the US - Iran conflict led to a sharp decline in the market on March 2. High - beta sectors like electronics and computers became the main pressure areas. However, as market emotions were fully traded, the A - share market became less sensitive to external shocks, and the market logic shifted back to internal growth [7]. - On March 5, the A - share trading volume declined, but the market began to rebound, indicating that the market's reaction to the geopolitical conflict has entered the "passivation period" [7]. 3.2 This Week's "High - Low Switch Caused by Panic Emotions Venting" Feature Is Obvious - From the perspective of industry excess returns and relative turnover this week, the A - share industry shows a "high - low switch caused by panic emotions venting" feature. High - growth technology sectors such as electronics, computers, and media had a "sharp decline with heavy volume," and their relative turnover was close to or more than 2 times. The panic emotions have been fully released, and the future repair space is gradually opening up [9]. - Sectors such as agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, and fishery, coal, public utilities, and petroleum and petrochemicals are in the area of high relative turnover and excess returns. Funds have shifted to defensive and low - priced sectors, especially the petroleum and petrochemical sector, which has attracted market funds due to rising oil prices [9]. 3.3 Sector Logic: Oversold Repair and Rotation to Compensatory Growth - This week, there was no clear main line in industry rotation, with obvious "alternating rise and fall" among industries. Some growth sectors were irrationally sold off at the beginning of the week, but on March 5 - 6, the market began to repair, and sectors such as electronics, basic chemicals, and power equipment rebounded [11][12]. - The over - defensive behavior at the beginning of the week caused the valuation of the technology main line to deviate extremely in the short term, creating a "golden pit" for subsequent rational regression [11]. 3.4 ETF Fund Flows: Driven by Prosperity and Technological Resilience - In addition to the petroleum and petrochemical sector attracting over 6.5 billion yuan in funds this week, traditional defensive sectors such as coal and banks also absorbed market funds. At the same time, funds also flowed significantly into sectors with both growth and oversold repair attributes, such as satellite and pharmaceutical sectors. The satellite ETF and pharmaceutical ETF had net inflows of 1.241 billion yuan and 311 million yuan respectively this week, indicating that some sensitive funds are shifting from simple hedging to "defensive base + low - position layout" [15]. 3.5 Hold on to the Technology Main Line and Pay Attention to the Sustainability of Compensatory Growth - As external shocks gradually become less influential and the market enters a critical window of shock bottom - building, the layout direction can return to the core main line. The technology growth sectors, especially electronics, computers, and media, had a sharp decline under external pressure, but the high turnover rate indicates the extreme release of emotions. The market's confidence in the long - term logic of the electronics sector remains unchanged, and it is recommended to opportunistically replenish technology core assets with endogenous growth power [17]. - The future repair slope depends on the market's expectations of the cost side. Although the rise in resource prices may slow down the rebound rhythm, it will not change the direction. A composite strategy of "defensive base, technological offense" should be maintained, and attention should be paid to the stable rise of the market center of gravity after the trading volume declines [17].

Core Viewpoints - The report emphasizes the importance of energy security amid the US-Iran conflict and highlights investment opportunities in the construction sector during the upcoming Two Sessions, focusing on major projects, urban renewal, and new productivity infrastructure [1][4]. Section Summaries 1. Investment Opportunities Ahead of the 2026 Two Sessions - The report predicts that the Two Sessions will continue the "proactive fiscal policy + structural monetary easing" approach, with three main focuses: major projects, urban renewal, and new productivity infrastructure. Infrastructure investment growth is expected to rebound from approximately -1% in 2025 to around 6.2% in 2026, becoming a key driver for stabilizing fixed asset investment [12][13]. 2. Mainline Selection - Structural recovery in infrastructure investment is anticipated, particularly in regions like Sichuan, Xinjiang, and Tibet, supported by central government funding. The report suggests monitoring order fulfillment and company PE levels, with a focus on companies such as Sichuan Road and Bridge, Xinjiang Communications Construction, and others [20][22]. 3. Timing Theme Investments - The report identifies urban renewal, underground pipelines, environmental codes, and the Middle East situation as key investment themes. It highlights the importance of urban renewal policies and the expected increase in demand for underground pipeline construction, with over 700,000 kilometers planned for renovation during the 14th Five-Year Plan, requiring over 5 trillion yuan in new investment [4][12]. 4. Left-Side Recommendations - Major construction state-owned enterprises are currently undervalued and have low institutional holdings. The report suggests focusing on companies with strong cash flow management and stable dividend policies, such as China State Construction, China Railway Construction, and others [4][20]. 5. Investment Recommendations - The report recommends focusing on energy security due to escalating US-Iran tensions, with specific suggestions for companies in chemical engineering, nuclear power, and oil and gas sectors. It also emphasizes the importance of urban renewal and underground pipeline projects, recommending companies like China State Construction and China Communications Construction [4][24]. 6.

Core Viewpoint - The technology sector has experienced a convergence of excess returns over the past month (January 15, 2026 - February 13, 2026), but not all sub-sectors are weakening uniformly. The excess drag is attributed to AI applications influenced by overseas SaaS, while optimistic earnings guidance from recent financial reports has stabilized SaaS stock prices, indicating that the phase of panic may be nearing its end [1][3][9]. Group 1: Market Performance and Trends - Since mid-January, the technology sector has shown relative convergence with the broader market, but not all sub-sectors are experiencing weakness. AI computing reached new highs in the last trading week before the holiday, while AI applications have shown deeper corrections and weaker recoveries, remaining over 5% below their mid-January peak [3][10]. - The software development sector in A-shares has retreated over 13% from its January 14 high, influenced by rapid declines in U.S. SaaS stocks on January 12 and January 25 due to the impact of ClaudeCowork and OpenClaw [3][10]. - The technology sector's ability to remain a key theme for the year will depend on industry trends and actual earnings performance, with a dual drive from technology and cyclical recovery expected to favor technology if earnings verification occurs [3][10]. Group 2: Sector Allocation and Configuration - The current allocation in the electronics industry exceeds 20%, with the overall TMT sector over-allocated by more than 17 percentage points. However, the current level of allocation does not directly impact future excess returns [4][11]. - The marginal changes in allocation are more closely linked to the current quarter's excess, with limited significance for the next quarter's guidance. The excess return convergence threshold for technology sub-sectors is at 2.5 or higher, with most sub-sectors below this level [4][11]. Group 3: Identifying Certainty in Technology - To identify certainty within the technology sector, two dimensions can be explored: forward-looking financial indicators and industry cycle trends. The "deferred revenue + contract liabilities" metric can provide insights into order conditions, highlighting sectors with accelerating improvements or sustained high growth over the past two quarters [5][12]. - Key sectors showing accelerated improvement include semiconductors, communication equipment, and digital chip design, while those with sustained high growth include consumer electronics and optical components. The DRAM and NAND Flash contract prices have been rising rapidly since Q4 2025, supported by long-term demand in AI servers and enterprise storage [5][12].
