Investment Strategy - The report indicates that China's satellite internet is entering a phase of intensive launches, with multiple satellite constellation plans advancing. The recent successful launches by China Star Network and the procurement announcement by Yuanxin Satellite are expected to drive demand in the industry [5][12][17] - The trend of laser networking has emerged, with computational satellites expected to enhance adaptive routing algorithms. China's technology reserves are not lagging behind, and the development of adaptive routing algorithms using machine learning and AI is seen as a key area for improving network performance [5][13][20] - Infrastructure for commercial launches is becoming increasingly robust, with reusable rockets set to be tested soon. The payload capacity of some Chinese rockets is approaching that of SpaceX's Falcon 9, which may lead to a synergistic development with accelerated satellite launches [5][14][15] Industry News - China successfully launched the low Earth orbit 08 group of satellites on August 13, marking the eighth batch of the China Star Network's GW constellation. This launch demonstrates China's capability for high-frequency launches, with a nine-day interval since the last launch [5][16] - The three major telecom operators in China reported stable performance in the first half of 2025, with China Telecom's revenue reaching 271.5 billion yuan, China Unicom's at 200.2 billion yuan, and China Mobile's at 543.8 billion yuan. The growth in their second curve businesses is expected to provide ongoing growth momentum for the companies and the downstream industry [5][17] - Kyivstar, Ukraine's largest telecom operator, completed a direct device connection test with Starlink, planning to commercialize the service in Q4. This test validates the feasibility of satellite mobile connectivity services in overseas markets [5][18][19] - Major AI companies are increasing their token consumption, with OpenAI's GPT-5 and xAI's Grok 4 being made available for free to users. This trend is expected to accelerate the demand for computational power in the AI sector [5][20] Weekly Review and Focus - The communication sector saw a 7.11% increase this week, outperforming major indices. Key areas of growth included IDC and optical modules, with respective increases of 12.90% and 10.04% [5][21] - The report suggests focusing on investment opportunities in the satellite internet and commercial aerospace sectors, highlighting companies such as Aerospace Universe, Mengsheng Electronics, and others [5][25]

Investment Strategy - The satellite sector is showing a trend of "East rising, West falling," indicating that China may achieve a latecomer advantage in low Earth orbit satellites. The number of Starlink satellites falling has increased significantly, with 316 expected to fall in 2024, compared to only 2 in 2020. This trend correlates with heightened solar activity [12][16] - The "computing satellite" sector is emerging as a new avenue, with China potentially holding a first-mover advantage. The "Star Computing" plan aims to establish a space-based computing network with 2,800 satellites, while the "Three-body Computing Constellation" will achieve a total computing power of 1,000 POPS [13][14] - Four key advantages are expected to establish satellites as a new type of infrastructure: universal connectivity, high-speed communication, large-scale user access, and safety and reliability. Satellite internet can provide access in remote areas, with latency as low as 20-50 milliseconds and peak speeds reaching 500 Mbps [14][15] Industry News - Starlink satellites have been falling at an increasing rate, with over 500 reported to have fallen between 2020 and 2024. This trend provides valuable insights for China's satellite development, helping to avoid similar risks in the future [16][17] - China Mobile has initiated a procurement project for 170,000 data center switches, with Huawei and ZTE among the winning bidders. This reflects ongoing investments in infrastructure to support AI demand [17][18] - China Mobile has successfully launched a trusted data space project for data annotation, which aims to support various sectors including smart vehicles and healthcare, marking a shift towards a more skill-intensive data industry [18][19] - China Post has successfully conducted long-distance cargo transport using fixed-wing drones, marking a significant breakthrough in low-altitude logistics [19] Market Review and Focus - The communication sector saw a slight decline of 0.5% this week, with notable performances in optical modules and low-altitude economy sectors. The satellite internet sector is highlighted as a potential investment opportunity [20][21] - Recommended stocks for next week include companies involved in satellite internet, such as Aerospace Universe and Tianyin Machinery, as well as long-term focus on major telecom operators like China Mobile and China Telecom [24]
