1. Report Industry Investment Rating There is no information about the industry investment rating in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The development of science - innovation bonds has gone through three stages: the pilot exploration period from 2015 - 2021, the rapid development period from 2022 - 2024, and the innovation and upgrading period since 2025. As of the end of February 2026, the market stock scale reached 3.7 trillion yuan [10][15]. - Bond financing plays a key complementary role. It is suitable for growth - stage and mature - stage enterprises, is a key tool for technology - enterprise mergers and acquisitions, and has a more suitable financing term for technology development compared to bank loans [20]. - In the primary market, science - innovation bonds show characteristics such as scale expansion, longer terms, and industry diversification. The issuance scale has been increasing year by year, the term structure is becoming more long - term, and the industry distribution is gradually diversifying [30]. - In the secondary market, the credit risk pricing of "science and innovation" has not been fully reflected. Most science - innovation bonds have no significant valuation difference from non - science - innovation bonds, the turnover rate of science - innovation bonds has slightly declined, and the rise and fall of technology stocks have limited impact on science - innovation bonds in China [44]. - From an investment perspective, the science - innovation bond market is still in the cultivation stage. In the short term, there are excess spread opportunities in industries such as light manufacturing, coal, power equipment, communication, and medicine and biology. In the long term, the support for the hard - technology field is expected to be further enhanced, and there is still a possibility of obtaining excess returns by sinking into the hard - technology field [57]. 3. Summary According to the Directory 3.1 Ten - year Evolution Process of Science - innovation Bonds - **Pilot Exploration Period (2015 - 2021)**: The exchange and inter - bank markets explored the issuance of bonds such as dual - innovation bonds, science - innovation corporate bonds, and high - growth bonds, accumulating experience for subsequent development [10][11]. - **Rapid Development Period (2022 - 2024)**: The system design was continuously improved, and the scale of science - innovation bonds in the exchange and inter - bank markets expanded rapidly. By the end of 2024, the stock in the exchange market was nearly 1 trillion yuan, and that in the inter - bank market was nearly 400 billion yuan [14]. - **Innovation and Upgrading Period (Since 2025)**: The "science and technology board" of the bond market was innovatively launched. With policy guidance, the science - innovation bond market expanded rapidly, and three major breakthroughs were achieved in supporting construction [15]. 3.2 Key Complementary Role of Bond Financing - **Suitable for Growth - stage and Mature - stage Enterprises**: Science - innovation bonds are mainly targeted at growth - stage and mature - stage enterprises, which match the attributes of bond financing and are suitable for the light - asset characteristics of some growth - stage enterprises [21]. - **Key Tool for Mergers and Acquisitions**: Science - innovation bonds are a key tool for technology - enterprise mergers and acquisitions, with greater flexibility and pertinence than traditional credit, and can avoid equity dilution. The application of science - innovation bonds in the field of mergers and acquisitions has increased [23]. - **More Suitable Financing Term**: The financing term of science - innovation bonds is more suitable for technology development than bank loans, and it also provides stronger capital support for financial institutions [28]. 3.3 Primary Market: Market Scale and Structural Characteristics - **Issuance Scale**: Since 2022, the issuance scale of science - innovation bonds has increased year by year. In 2025, the issuance scale reached 2.3 trillion yuan, and as of the end of February 2026, the market stock scale reached 3.7 trillion yuan [31]. - **Term Structure**: The issuance term of science - innovation bonds shows a long - term trend, gradually matching the financing needs of science - and - technology innovation enterprises [31]. - **Industry Distribution**: Construction decoration, non - bank finance, and public utilities are the main issuers. The number of science - innovation bonds issued by hard - technology core fields such as electronics, medicine and biology, computer, and communication has been increasing, and traditional manufacturing and consumer industries have also begun to participate in the issuance [34]. - **Issuer Rating**: AAA - rated issuers are the main force, and the proportion of AA+ and AA - rated issuers is increasing [39]. - **Issuer Nature**: Central enterprises and local state - owned enterprises have a high proportion of issuance, and the proportion of private enterprises is gradually increasing [40]. - **Use of Raised Funds**: For financial institutions, 95% of the funds actually flow to science - and - technology innovation - related uses. For non - financial enterprises, issuing science - innovation bonds takes into account supplementing liquidity, optimizing the financing structure, and reducing financing costs [42]. 3.4 Secondary Market: Price - volume Performance and Stock - bond Correlation - **Valuation Difference**: Most science - innovation bonds have no significant valuation difference from non - science - innovation bonds, and science - innovation bonds of weak - quality issuers have a credit premium [45]. - **Turnover Rate**: The turnover rate of science - innovation bonds has slightly declined and is close to that of non - financial credit bonds, indicating that the market is in the transition from policy - driven to endogenous development [51]. - **Impact of Technology Stocks**: The rise and fall of technology stocks have limited impact on science - innovation bonds in China. The "science and technology" of Chinese science - innovation bonds is mainly reflected in the use of funds, while that of US "technology bonds" is directly related to the business attributes of issuers [53]. 3.5 Science - innovation Bonds from an Investment Perspective - **Short - term**: There are excess spread opportunities in industries such as light manufacturing, coal, power equipment, communication, and medicine and biology. The excess spread in industries with a high proportion of private enterprises is more significant [57]. - **Long - term**: The support for the hard - technology field is expected to be further enhanced. There is still a possibility of obtaining excess returns by sinking into the hard - technology field. Attention can be paid to the risk - return ratio of the credit enhancement mechanism [60].
