1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The A-share market is currently experiencing a valuation recovery. Measures such as large-scale equipment upgrades and consumer goods trade-ins are expected to boost domestic demand, while export growth may decline. A weak resonance between the domestic economic fundamentals and capital flows is expected to gradually emerge [30]. - Considering the impact of refinancing policies, the subsequent issuance pressure of convertible bonds is not expected to be high. As the stock market recovers, the inflow of incremental funds into convertible bonds has driven the valuation to a relatively high level in history. Attention should be paid to the risk of valuation correction. In terms of terms and conditions, it is recommended to continue to focus on the space for lower revision games, be vigilant against the risk of early redemption, and appropriately pay attention to short-term game opportunities for near-maturity convertible bonds [31]. - Industries worthy of attention include popular themes such as AI computing power, humanoid robots, intelligent driving, low-altitude economy, data elements, and satellite Internet of Things; repair opportunities in low-position science and technology growth sectors such as semiconductors and innovative drugs; pro-cyclical and domestic demand sectors such as real estate, chemicals, and consumer electronics whose prosperity is gradually recovering; industries with both export advantages and domestic demand growth potential such as automobiles, home appliances, and engineering machinery; central state-owned enterprises represented by "China-headquartered" companies, the "Belt and Road" theme, and high-dividend sectors such as public utilities, petrochemicals, and precious metals under the Chinese characteristic valuation system; and the military industry driven by the resonance of hedging demand and industrial demand cycles [31]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1. Convertible Bond Weekly Special and Outlook 3.1.1. The "Diverse States" of Near-Maturity Convertible Bonds - As of August 22, 2025, 82 convertible bonds have been delisted this year, including 20 that have reached maturity. Among the matured and delisted convertible bonds, 6 have an actual maturity payment ratio of less than 1%, 3 have a payment ratio of over 90% (Nuclear Construction Convertible Bond, Haoke Convertible Bond, and Intelligent Convertible Bond), and the rest have a maturity payment ratio concentrated between 20% - 60% [10]. - The paths of promoting conversion and maturity payment of convertible bonds that have reached maturity this year vary. For example, the issuance amount of CITIC Convertible Bond is 40 billion yuan, but the final payment ratio is less than 1%. Its methods of promoting conversion are diverse, including the controlling shareholder's premium conversion and conversion during periods of negative premium rate due to the positive stock's "abnormal movement." Since December 2024, with the continuous rise of bank stocks, the conversion value of CITIC Convertible Bond has been significantly higher than the maturity value, accelerating the conversion process [13][14]. - In contrast, the Nuclear Construction Convertible Bond, a large central enterprise convertible bond, has a maturity payment ratio as high as 99.27%. The company's main business has a stable profit margin, and it has a relatively weak willingness to promote conversion, resulting in a smooth maturity payment [19]. - Most private enterprise convertible bonds (11 out of 18) have proposed to lower the conversion price during their tenure. However, due to factors such as weak performance and poor stock price performance of the underlying stocks, large-scale conversion has not been achieved. For example, Dafeng Convertible Bond achieved a large-scale conversion through a high negative premium rate before maturity, alleviating the payment pressure to some extent [21]. - As of August 22, there are still 14 convertible bonds approaching maturity this year. Some companies have a strong willingness to promote conversion, such as Jinneng Convertible Bond, which recently lowered its conversion price. It is recommended to analyze the company's willingness to promote conversion based on factors such as company attributes, debt repayment pressure, and research and communication, and pay attention to negative premium rate conversion and lower revision games during the conversion promotion process [28]. 3.1.2. Weekly Review and Market Outlook - This week, the A-share market showed an overall upward trend with active trading, and technology sectors led the market. The Shanghai Composite Index, Shenzhen Component Index, and ChiNext Index all rose to varying degrees, with the ChiNext Index performing particularly well. Sectors such as communication, comprehensive, and computer led the gains, while real estate and petrochemical sectors declined slightly [29]. - In the convertible bond market, considering the impact of refinancing policies, the subsequent issuance pressure is not expected to be high. As the stock market recovers, the inflow of incremental funds has driven the valuation to a relatively high level in history. Attention should be paid to the risk of valuation correction. It is recommended to continue to focus on the space for lower revision games, be vigilant against the risk of early redemption, and appropriately pay attention to short-term game opportunities for near-maturity convertible bonds [31]. 3.2.
