- The report utilizes the input-output table data to quantify the cost structure and cost transmission capabilities of various industries, focusing on the intermediate product quadrant, which represents the demand of each economic sector for products from other sectors. The cost distribution weight for a sector is calculated by dividing the column data of the input-output table by the total input minus operating surplus for that sector[12][13][16] - A regression model is employed to measure the cost transmission capability of industries. The estimated cost and product price (PPI) series are regressed, with the regression slope serving as a proxy for cost transmission capability. To account for inventory buffering effects, the optimal lag period is determined by calculating the time-lagged correlation coefficient between cost and price series, and regression is performed at the optimal lag[16][17][18] - The cost transmission capability coefficients reveal that upstream industries such as oil, coal, and iron ore exhibit strong cost transmission capabilities due to low cost elasticity and high product price elasticity. Midstream industries like steel and chemicals also demonstrate strong cost transmission capabilities, often exceeding 1, indicating that price increases in upstream resources do not harm their profitability. In contrast, downstream industries generally have weaker cost transmission capabilities, often below 1, making them more vulnerable to raw material price increases[18][19] - The report quantifies the profit margin changes across industries under the impact of a 50% increase in oil prices. Industries with rigid downstream pricing and direct exposure to energy costs, such as gas production and supply, suffer the most. Other significantly affected industries include non-metallic mineral mining, rubber and plastic products, and printing. However, industries like chemical manufacturing and chemical fiber manufacturing benefit from strong cost transmission capabilities, which mitigate the impact of rising oil prices on their profit margins[19][20] - The average inventory turnover months of industries are calculated using industrial enterprise revenue and inventory data. The analysis finds a positive correlation between inventory turnover months and the lag in product price changes relative to cost increases. Industries with higher inventory turnover months have greater "buffering capacity," allowing them to delay price increases and absorb cost pressures for longer periods[23][24][26]

Core Insights - The current A-share market is facing two significant underlying logical changes: structural imbalance in internal positions and substantial macroeconomic changes [1] - The report emphasizes the importance of determining whether the current situation is more comparable to early 2021 or early 2022, as historical pricing reviews indicate essential differences between the two periods [1][10] Historical Pricing Review - In March 2021, the core essence of the decline was structural adjustment rather than the onset of a systemic downturn. The decline was triggered by a rapid rise in U.S. Treasury yields and deteriorating micro trading structures, leading to a significant correction in previously favored "Mao Index" core assets [2] - The Shanghai Composite Index fell by 8.1%, while the ChiNext Index dropped nearly 21.6%. However, the market did not enter a full bear market but instead completed a clear shift in main lines, with the "Ning Combination" replacing the "Mao Index" as the core trading focus [2][11] - In February 2022, the decline was characterized as a defensive reduction rather than a simple style rebalancing, driven by weakening risk appetite, declining incremental funds, and profit expectations. The decline was triggered by inflation expectations stemming from the Russia-Ukraine conflict, with the total A-share market dropping 9.46% in January 2022 [3][11] Current Market Analysis - Based on the historical scenarios, two core scenarios are projected for the current market: 1. If the macro environment shows moderate inflation and resilient global economic characteristics, the current market is more likely to resemble March 2021, with the Shanghai Composite Index's performance aligning with this scenario [4][12] 2. If clear stagflation and a pause in the global rate cut cycle occur, the current market will resemble early 2022, necessitating a comprehensive reduction in positions and a shift towards defensive strategies [4][12] Sector Positioning - The report highlights that as of Q4 2025, domestic institutions have a significant allocation in the pan-technology sector, exceeding 50%, with the total allocation in overseas sectors approaching 70%. This indicates a structural imbalance that necessitates a rebalancing strategy moving forward [7][33] - The report suggests a focus on "new and old coexisting" strategies, emphasizing the selection of representative structural directions within technology, overseas, and resource sectors for effective portfolio management [7][8] Investment Themes - The report identifies four key rebalancing themes: 1.

Internal rebalancing within overseas sectors [8] - The emphasis is on identifying low-positioned value stocks and adjusting to the changing macroeconomic landscape, particularly in light of rising oil prices and a strengthening dollar [33][29]
