Core Conclusions - The bull market is entering its second phase, transitioning from a "technology bull" to a "wealth bull" [1] - After the "super macro month" in October, the market is expected to favor cyclical stocks as a better allocation choice due to high valuations and potential adjustments if EPS does not improve [1][5] - Current market conditions present an optimal window for investing in cyclical stocks, supported by five key reasons [1] Reason 1: Cyclical Stocks as "Friends of Time" - Since Q3, the market has begun to trade based on changes in profitability (△ROE), indicating a return to investment in economic recovery [21] - Cyclical stocks have lagged behind in price compared to improvements in fundamentals, making them more favorable during market adjustments [21][24] Reason 2: Potential Requirements of the "14th Five-Year Plan" - The "14th Five-Year Plan" suggests that by 2035, per capita GDP should reach the level of moderately developed countries, requiring an annual growth rate of 4.1% plus inflation and currency appreciation [2][30] - Achieving this goal necessitates a combination of moderate inflation and currency appreciation to establish a growth baseline for cyclical industries [2][31] Reason 3: Cross-Border Capital Inflow, Repeating 2019-2021 - Recent reports emphasize that cross-border capital inflow will effectively support domestic demand, with signs of cyclical improvement already emerging [3][33] - The return of cross-border capital is expected to drive a revaluation of global commodities and domestic manufacturing, similar to the core asset bull market seen post-pandemic [3][36] Reason 4: New Regulations for Public Funds Guiding "Rebalancing" - The introduction of new regulations for public funds is expected to lead to a rebalancing of holdings between TMT and cyclical stocks [4][39] - As public funds have not significantly increased new issuances, the shift from cyclical to TMT stocks has resulted in a decrease in the pricing power of TMT stocks [4][40] Reason 5: Slowdown in Incremental Capital Inflows, Entering a Competitive Phase - Since September, there has been a noticeable slowdown in the inflow of various types of capital, indicating a shift in market dynamics [5][44] - The market is transitioning into a phase of competition, with cyclical stocks likely to benefit from this change [5][51] Investment Recommendations: Transitioning from "Technology Bull" to "Wealth Bull" - The report suggests continuing to invest in cyclical stocks, particularly in sectors such as non-ferrous metals, new consumption, and high-end manufacturing, as these areas are expected to benefit from the current economic conditions [5][54]
