Core Viewpoint - The A-share market has experienced a "slow bull" trend over the past year, driven by the rise of China's new economy, a systematic decline in risk-free interest rates, and deepening capital market reforms. The market's profitability has attracted significant capital inflow, alongside a marginal easing of China-US trade relations and expectations of global liquidity easing due to potential Fed rate cuts. The current market presents both opportunities and risks, emphasizing the need for "rational investment" and a focus on long-term wealth accumulation through deep research and balanced asset allocation [1]. Group 1 - The overall valuation is manageable with internal differentiation, facilitating a healthy rotation among sectors. The current PEttm of the Wind All A Index is around 16-17 times, close to the historical average and not reaching the peaks of 2007, 2009, or 2015. New economy sectors like renewable energy, semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, and new consumption are seeing upward valuation trends, while traditional sectors like banking, real estate, and infrastructure remain undervalued, providing a solid foundation for rotation under stable growth expectations [2]. - The increasing proportion of new economy sectors, supported by traditional sectors, provides long-term upward momentum. The establishment of the Sci-Tech Innovation Board and the Beijing Stock Exchange, along with registration system reforms, has allowed many innovative companies to enter the capital market, enhancing upward elasticity. Additionally, policies promoting carbon neutrality and reducing competition have strengthened the profitability and stability of leading companies in traditional sectors, acting as a stabilizing force for the market [2]. - The growing presence of professional investors has shifted the market towards rational, long-term, and stable investment styles. The continuous growth of domestic public fund sizes and the increasing proportion of long-term capital from insurance and pension funds have led institutional investors to focus more on fundamental research and long-term holdings, changing the market's speculative behavior and reducing impulsive trading [2]. Group 2 - Recent increases in indices like the CSI 300, ChiNext, STAR 50, and North Exchange 50 have primarily been driven by valuation expansion. This valuation increase is supported by new capital inflows, with 196.36 million new A-share accounts opened in July, a year-on-year increase of 70.5%. The margin trading balance has remained above 1.9 trillion for 29 consecutive trading days, with financing purchases accounting for about 9% of A-share trading volume [10]. - Investor optimism regarding future growth has led to unsustainable high growth assumptions in high-growth sectors like AI, renewable energy, and biotechnology. In August, sectors such as defense, electronics, and computing exhibited significantly higher PEttm ratios compared to others, indicating speculative trading behavior. The shift from earning money through company growth to profiting from valuation increases has raised concerns about stability and safety [10]. - In the context of a slow bull market, maintaining rational investment principles is crucial. Key principles include diversifying asset allocation, focusing on intrinsic value, and minimizing exposure to market noise. Maintaining a cash position of 10-20% can enhance investment experience and prevent forced selling of quality assets during market downturns [15][16][17].
