Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - The overall credit expansion of the entire industry is moderate, showing no significant momentum compared to the past. The non - current liabilities, financing inflows, and investment expenditures all indicate that the economy is in a slow - repair process, and the probability of a rapid turnaround in the economic fundamentals in the short term is low [1]. - There is still significant structural differentiation among industries in credit expansion. Different industries show different trends in non - current liabilities, financing inflows, and investment expenditures, presenting a "structural bias + uneven rhythm" mild recovery situation [2]. - Industries currently in the credit expansion stage, such as light manufacturing, electronics, basic chemicals, and public utilities, are recommended for credit bond allocation. Industries in credit contraction, like real estate, food and beverage, beauty care, and household appliances, suggest focusing on credit bonds of enterprises with controllable refinancing pressure and asset impairment risks [2]. Summary by Directory 1. The overall credit expansion of the entire industry is moderate, showing no significant momentum compared to the past 1.1 Non - current liabilities: Scale expansion continues, but growth rate remains low - As of the end of the first half of 2025, the total non - current liabilities of listed companies in the entire industry reached 20.28 trillion yuan, with a year - on - year increase of 3.62% and a quarter - on - quarter increase of 3.52%. The growth rate is at a low or medium - low level compared to historical data, indicating that the willingness of Chinese enterprises to expand credit through long - term bank loans and bond issuance is not significantly increasing [9][10]. 1.2 Financing inflows: The rhythm is stable, and the support from funding sources remains - In the first half of 2025, the financing inflows of listed companies in the entire industry reached 9.95 trillion yuan, with a year - on - year increase of 0.89% and a quarter - on - quarter increase of 12.51%.

Structural differentiation among industries remains the main theme of credit expansion 2.1 Non - current liabilities - In the first half of 2025, industries such as comprehensive, public utilities, building decoration, light manufacturing, and basic chemicals had high year - on - year growth rates of non - current liabilities, while industries like household appliances, food and beverage, agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, and computer had significant contractions. The differentiation is affected by industry cycle attributes and factors such as consumer demand and policies [25][26]. 2.2 Financing inflows - In the first half of 2025, industries such as household appliances, coal, social services, electronics, light manufacturing, public utilities, non - ferrous metals, and environmental protection had high year - on - year growth rates of financing inflows, while industries like communication, real estate, food and beverage, and social services had negative growth rates.

Industries in credit expansion, such as light manufacturing, electronics, basic chemicals, and public utilities, are recommended for credit bond allocation, while industries in credit contraction, like real estate, food and beverage, beauty care, and household appliances, suggest focusing on enterprises with controllable risks [38].
