国金证券表示，在盈利见底前夕，市场的行业轮动往往会呈现加速迹象，近期亦呈现类似特征。参考 2016年与2020年两轮经验来看，在复苏前期"高切低"策略存在一定超额收益，然而基于股价位置的高低 切效果明显弱于基于估值的高低切；而盈利层面ROA变动因子、营收变动因子效果优于ROE与净利 润，即投资者更为看重的是需求侧的景气修复与资产本身的经营效率/盈利质量的改善。然而本轮行情 的特殊之处在于：重视估值与盈利的机构力量定价权弱于过去两轮复苏期，个人投资者力量的重要性相 对提升，而其择股偏好可能与机构存在差异。因此在当下短期的轮动行情中，两种策略值得关注：一是 需求与资产盈利能力有望率先回升且低估值的细分行业；二为寻找部分股价位置较低的板块个股（尤其 是个人投资者关注度较高的行业）。对于前者，我们对当前工业企业口径下ROA与营收变化筛选结果 映射至申万二级行业，可以得到工业金属、轨交设备、厨电、白电盈利边际改善的同时，估值水平同样 处于所有行业的中后位置。对于后者，消费板块是当前滚动250日低位股占比相对较高的领域，而在个 人投资者关注度相对较高的成长领域，短期滚动20日低位股占比较高的行业集中于传媒、券商、计算机 ...
