1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In 2025, China is in a marginal de - leveraging process. The government aims to stabilize the macro - leverage ratio, and the growth rate of the real - sector's liabilities is expected to decline. The fiscal policy is front - loaded, and the monetary policy is moderately neutral [2][17]. - The economic recovery in the current round is better than expected, but it is necessary to observe whether the physical volume data will weaken in the future. The target for the annual real economic growth rate in 2025 is around 5%, and the nominal economic growth rate target is around 4.9% [4][19]. - The stock - bond relationship shows a pattern of a strong stock market and a weak bond market, with the style shifting towards value - based stocks. The stock - bond ratio continues to favor stocks, but in the de - leveraging cycle, the trading value of both stocks and bonds is currently limited. If the yield of the 10 - year Treasury bond rises above 1.7%, the trading value of bonds may gradually emerge [6][22]. - In the de - leveraging cycle, the probability of value - based stocks outperforming is higher. The recommended A + H dividend portfolio and A - share portfolio mainly focus on industries such as banking, telecommunications, petroleum and petrochemicals, and transportation [8][9]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 National Balance Sheet Analysis Liability Side - In March 2025, the real - sector's liability growth rate was 8.7% (previous value: 8.4%), expected to rebound slightly to around 9.0% in April, reach an annual high, and then decline steadily in May and return to de - leveraging. By the end of the year, it is expected to drop to around 8% [2][17]. - The government's liability growth rate was 13.9% at the end of March 2025 (previous value: 12.9%), expected to rise to around 14.8% in April, reach an annual high, and then decline.

The estimated lower limit of the one - year Treasury bond yield is about 1.3%, the lower limit of the 10 - year Treasury bond yield is about 1.7%, and the lower limit of the 30 - year Treasury bond yield is about 1.9% [3][18]. Asset Side - In March, the physical volume data improved comprehensively compared to January - February. The economic recovery in this round is better than expected, but it is necessary to pay attention to whether the physical volume data will weaken in the future.

This week, a bond position is added, with recommended allocations of 40% for the dividend index, 40% for the SSE 50 index, and 20% for the 30 - year Treasury bond ETF [7][23]. 3.3 Industry Recommendation 3.3.1 Industry Performance Review - This week, the A - share market rose with shrinking trading volume.

Dividend - type stocks generally should have three characteristics: no balance - sheet expansion, good profitability, and survival ability [8][62]. - Combining the above three characteristics and the under - allocation situation in the public fund's quarterly report, the recommended A + H dividend portfolio includes 20 A + H stocks, and the A - share portfolio includes 20 A - share stocks, mainly concentrated in industries such as banking, telecommunications, petroleum and petrochemicals, and transportation [9][62].

Group 1 - The macro background for the A-share adjustment in Q2 includes a natural decline in Chinese exports and increased tariff threats from the US, leading to amplified macroeconomic expectations and a decrease in risk appetite [1][2] - The direct reason for the short-term market adjustment is the approaching "April Decision" period, which includes the verification of annual and quarterly reports, as well as economic data from China and the implementation of US tariffs [1][2] - The adjustment pressure from the April verification period is considered limited, with expectations for domestic AI computing power to potentially show strong differentiation and growth [1][3] Group 2 - The macroeconomic issues persisting into Q2 include the natural decline in Chinese exports and the potential for further US tariff threats, which may lead to a weak and volatile A-share market [2][4] - The narrative of the current technology adjustment is similar to the Nasdaq adjustment from July to October 2023, characterized by slow application realization and concerns over excessive investment in computing power [2][3] - The adjustment in domestic AI computing power is seen as a shorter phase compared to the US, as the industry is still in a stage of basic breakthroughs with insufficient application layer development [3][4] Group 3 - Defensive thinking is favored in Q2 2025, with a focus on high dividend relative returns and the strengthening of pricing power for short-term allocation funds [4][5] - The technology structural bull market is expected to continue into 2025, with investment opportunities identified in domestic AI computing power and applications, embodied intelligence, and low-altitude economy [4][5] - The valuation advantage of Hong Kong stocks over A-shares is highlighted, particularly in the context of insurance capital's increasing influence on high dividend assets [5]
