Core Viewpoint - The issuance of industrial perpetual bonds primarily aims to reduce corporate leverage, with significant peaks in net financing observed during two previous issuance cycles [1] Group 1: Issuance Trends - From 2018 to 2020, the implementation of guidelines to strengthen the asset-liability constraints of state-owned enterprises led to a reduction in average asset-liability ratios by approximately 2 percentage points by the end of 2020 compared to the end of 2017, with annual net financing around 400 billion [1] - In 2023, high-leverage central state-owned enterprises still have a demand for debt reduction, with annual net financing between 200 billion to 300 billion, alongside an increase in the scale of perpetual bond repayments, indicating a continuous expansion in issuance scale, expected to reach a new high in 2025 [1] Group 2: Issuance Duration - The proportion of 5+N maturities has increased in the past two years, with the issuance duration evolving through three phases: 1. From 2018 to 2020, 3+N maturities dominated, accounting for over 70% for three consecutive years [2] 2. From 2021 to 2023, while 3+N remained predominant, the share of 2+N maturities significantly increased due to credit bond sentiment shifts [2] 3.

Yield strategy, focusing on coal and steel industry entities with a remaining term of less than 2 years, prioritizing larger local state-owned enterprises while monitoring profitability and fundamental conditions to avoid tail risks [4] 2. Duration strategy, recommending central state-owned enterprises in public utilities and transportation sectors with around 5-year maturities, as these entities are in high-leverage industries with a need for debt reduction but possess good qualifications, suggesting a lower likelihood of becoming "true perpetuals" [4]
