Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the content. Core Viewpoints - The number and probability of forced redemptions have been increasing year by year, and the arbitrage opportunities and risks have attracted attention. In the bull market, more convertible bonds trigger and choose forced redemptions, and investors and institutions focus on whether there are arbitrage opportunities and how to time the market [1]. - The valuation adjustment of convertible bonds shows an obvious forward - moving feature. The main pricing process of forced redemption risk is completed at an earlier stage before the announcement, and the valuation compression is basically completed when approaching the announcement [1]. - In 2026, the forced redemption of convertible bonds may be more frequent, and the forced redemption game opportunities will increase. The operation idea of "entering the market close to the announcement and exiting opportunistically after the announcement" is more suitable [3]. Summary by Directory I. Strong Redemption Case Review - From 2018 - 2025, there were 1,178 cases of forced redemption triggers in the market, and the proportion of those finally choosing to implement forced redemptions was about 29.5%. In 2025, the number of forced redemption cases reached 132, and 47.3% of the issuers chose forced redemptions, with the probability hitting a record high [1][9]. - The trend of the stock market dominates the occurrence of convertible bond forced redemption events. Since 2024, the monthly trading volume of the Shanghai - Shenzhen All - A Index has significantly increased, and the number of forced redemptions has risen synchronously. The change in the convertible bond stock structure is closely related to the forced redemption probability. The median remaining term of convertible bonds has been decreasing, and the proportion of old bonds in the market has increased significantly [14]. - In 2026, 190 convertible bonds will mature, and if the stock market remains strong, the number of convertible bonds meeting the forced redemption conditions may increase, and the proportion of forced redemption cases may rise [18]. II. How Does the Valuation of Convertible Bonds Converge Before the Forced Redemption Announcement? 2.1 Typical Convergence Path of Valuation - The identification of forced redemption risk promotes the early compression of the conversion premium rate. The conversion premium rate starts to compress unilaterally from T - 20 and gradually converges to around 0%. The compression mainly occurs in the early stage before the forced redemption announcement. From T - 20 to T - 15, the median conversion premium rate drops from 2.33% to 0.98%, accounting for about 56.7% of the overall compression [19]. 2.2 The Forced Redemption Game Continues to "Involve", and the Valuation Convergence Rhythm Advances - The time rhythm of the forced redemption game shows a forward - moving trend. The compression of the conversion premium rate has advanced to an earlier time window before the announcement. Different stages have different convergence rhythms, and the main compression stage has gradually advanced [23]. 2.3 The Valuation Compression of High - Par Convertible Bonds is More Obvious - High - par convertible bonds have more obvious premium compression. The high - par and high - premium convertible bonds are more likely to experience a rapid decline in the conversion premium rate when the forced redemption condition approaches. At T - 20, the premium rate of high - par convertible bonds is 45.96%, about 54 percentage points higher than that of low - par convertible bonds, and both converge to near 0 at T - 1 [27]. 2.4 Before the Announcement, the Market has Formed a Significant Differentiated Expectation for Convertible Bonds with and without Forced Redemption - Before the announcement, the conversion premium rate of non - forced - redemption convertible bonds remains in the positive premium range, about 4% around T - 1. In contrast, the premium rate of forced - redemption convertible bonds converges to 0. Investors need to be vigilant about the price adjustment risk caused by the change in forced redemption expectations [33][34]. III. Is There Still an Opportunity to Participate After the Forced Redemption Announcement? 3.1 After the Forced Redemption Announcement, the Convertible Bond Price Performance and Its Characteristics: "Rapid Compression, Partial Rebound" - After the forced redemption announcement, the conversion premium rate of convertible bonds quickly compresses and turns negative. In some strong stock market stages, the valuation of individual bonds may rebound from T + 10 to T + 30. The stronger the stock market, the more obvious the rebound feature [36][41]. 3.2 After the Non - Redemption Announcement, the Conversion Premium Rate Gradually Returns to Normal - After the non - redemption announcement, the conversion premium rate of non - redeemed convertible bonds shows obvious repair, rising from about 7% to about 10%, and the market pricing gradually returns to the normal valuation range [46]. 3.3 After the Non - Redemption Announcement, is There a Difference in the Valuation Repair of Convertible Bonds with Different Par Values? - Before the non - forced - redemption announcement, the compression paths of the conversion premium rates of convertible bonds with different par values are similar in the early stage, but they gradually diverge later. After T + 15, the conversion premium rate of high - par convertible bonds is significantly lower than that of low - par convertible bonds [48][49]. 3.4 The Investment Win - Rate of Non - Redeemed Convertible Bonds is Higher - In the forced redemption announcement game, it is better to enter the market close to the announcement and exit opportunistically after the announcement. The game space of non - redeemed convertible bonds is more prominent, and different buy - sell window combinations can obtain positive returns. In the case of a redemption announcement, the short - term trading value is relatively limited [53][54]. IV. In 2026, the Game Opportunities Increase Further, and the Participation Strategy Needs Key Attention 4.1 In 2026, the Forced Redemption of Convertible Bonds May be More Frequent, and the Forced Redemption Game Opportunities Increase - In 2026, the environment for forced redemptions is more mature. Some convertible bonds are more likely to meet the forced redemption conditions, and the issuer's willingness to implement forced redemptions is higher. There are already some convertible bonds approaching the forced redemption trigger conditions, and the forced redemption trigger may enter a concentrated stage [57][58]. 4.2 2026 Forced Redemption Game Trading Window and Operation Suggestions - Based on the 2025 trading window sensitivity analysis, the operation idea of "entering the market close to the announcement and exiting opportunistically after the announcement" is still more suitable in 2026. The appropriate participation interval is T - 3 to T - 1 before the announcement, and the exit strategy around T + 10 after the announcement performs better. Pay attention to high - β stocks and non - redeemed convertible bonds in the valuation repair process [61][63].
