Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the report Core Viewpoints of the Report - The A-share market continued to decline in the previous trading session, with the transportation sector leading the decline and only the agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery sectors leading the gain. The market turnover was 2.39 trillion yuan. Starting from March, the annual reports and first-quarter reports of listed companies will be gradually disclosed, and industry leaders with strong performance certainty will attract capital, driving the market from "expectation-driven" to "profit-driven". The market will enter the "selective alpha" stage, and pure concept stocks and small and medium-cap stocks without performance support may remain weak. Sectors benefiting from policies and with improved performance may have sustainable opportunities. In the short term, geopolitical disturbances have increased risk aversion and reduced risk appetite. In the long term, the stock index trend will return to the domestic fundamentals, and attention should be paid to the resonance effect of policy implementation and industrial catalysis. Capital is likely to continue to focus on high-growth sectors to consolidate the market's structural trend [2] Summary of Relevant Catalogs 1.
