Core Viewpoint - The current market trend for A-shares is expected to continue upward in the medium to long term, driven by multiple factors including the role of long-term capital, the potential for increased retail investment, enhanced technology innovation policies, and the upward trend in the AI industry [1] Group 1: Market Trends - The recent adjustment in the A-share technology sector is influenced by the high volatility in the US AI sector and discussions surrounding an "AI bubble," with the Nasdaq index experiencing a decline of -7.03% from October 29 to November 21 [2] - The A-share technology sector has seen larger adjustments compared to the US market, with the ChiNext index and the Sci-Tech Innovation Board down -12.16% and -11.11% respectively during the same period [2] - The adjustment in the A-share technology sector is attributed to the strong influence of US AI leaders, with significant declines in the computer and media sectors, which fell -9.27% and -11.89% from their peaks [3] Group 2: Factors Influencing Adjustments - The decline in the A-share technology sector is primarily due to the adjustment of US AI leaders, with high valuations leading to discussions of a bubble, compounded by reduced expectations for a Federal Reserve rate cut in December [3] - Institutional investors typically adopt defensive strategies towards the end of the year, impacting high-valuation sectors like electronics and communications [3] - A decrease in policy announcements may also lead to reduced trading momentum from leveraged funds [3] Group 3: Future Outlook - The technology market is expected to continue its upward trajectory post-adjustment, as the likelihood of a fundamental reversal in the AI industry in the US remains low, providing significant valuation growth potential for A-share companies [4] - The current stage of the AI sector in A-shares corresponds to a period in the US market where funds are shifting from hardware to applications, indicating that the AI market is far from reaching its peak [4] Group 4: Capital Flow Analysis - There is a mixed trend in capital flow, with both withdrawal and bottom-fishing activities observed; ETF and northbound funds have shown net inflows, particularly on Fridays [5] - Major indices such as the CSI 2000, STAR 50, and dividend index ETFs have continued to see net inflows, indicating a bottom-fishing sentiment [5] - The reduction in major shareholder sell-offs and a noticeable contraction in leveraged funds suggest a cautious approach in the current market environment [5]

A phase of easing in US-China relations has injected a "certainty premium" into the market [5][6] 2. Major events like the 9.3 military parade have highlighted China's status as a major power, enhancing confidence in RMB assets [6] 3. Breakthroughs in technological innovation and increased capital investment in the tech sector have led to a systematic reassessment of Chinese tech assets [6] Group 2: Fund Behavior Analysis - The current market shows three distinct characteristics in fund behavior: sustained inflow of long-term funds, cautious entry of institutions and retail investors, and significant expansion of ETFs [7][10] - Long-term funds have been steadily entering the market, solidifying the market bottom, with a notable increase in net inflows into the four major CSI 300 ETFs since early 2024 [10] - The entry pace of institutional and retail funds has been relatively restrained, with institutions gradually increasing their positions rather than making rapid large-scale investments [11][19] Group 3: ETF Expansion and Structure - The overall characteristics of ETF funds in this market include a steady increase in the scale of stock ETFs and a shift in focus from broad-based products to industry and thematic products [21][25] - By the end of September, the total scale of stock ETFs reached approximately 3.7 trillion yuan, with a notable shift from broad-based indices to sector-specific ETFs [25][26] - The internal structure of ETFs is changing, with a decrease in the share of scale index ETFs and an increase in the share of thematic and industry ETFs, indicating a concentration of funds towards market leaders [26][28] Group 4: Market Characteristics and Future Outlook - The current market is characterized by a broad "pan-tech" theme, with a wide coverage and sustained duration, unlike previous narrow themes [33][35] - The market's concern about a potential repeat of past bubbles is mitigated by the relatively low expansion of the tech sector's market capitalization compared to previous bull markets [38] - The current stage of the AI market in A-shares corresponds to the second phase of the US AI industry's evolution, suggesting that the AI market has not yet reached its peak [43]

Group 1 - The report highlights that since October 2025, price increases have gained attention, particularly in the fields of new energy, AI, and certain black, non-ferrous, and chemical products, with many areas experiencing transaction congestion close to historically high levels [4][10][12] - Historical cases indicate that price increases driven solely by sentiment or expectations typically reach a peak when congestion levels hit 90-100%, leading to a phase of adjustment, and subsequent rebounds are unlikely to surpass previous highs without additional supporting logic [14][16] - For price increases to break previous highs after an adjustment, they usually require new incremental logic support, such as a shift from expectation to reality in economic verification or the emergence of new catalysts [14][16] Group 2 - The report identifies two main areas where price increases are likely to continue: industrial metals, driven by global economic recovery expectations and supply constraints, and the AI chain, which remains a direction with confirmed economic prospects and potential incremental catalysts [51][52] - Strong sectors often reach a stage of congestion bottom when sentiment (transaction share) declines to 50-70% of previous highs, presenting a good buying opportunity [52] - The report suggests monitoring the TMT sector's transaction share to determine when it returns to the 20-25% range, indicating a potential buying point, while the Hang Seng Technology sector should be observed for a return to the 30-35% range [60][66] Group 3 - The report discusses the historical adjustment patterns of major technology sectors, noting that the average adjustment period is around 40 trading days, with an average absolute decline of approximately 15% [71][72] - The current adjustment in major technology sectors has seen declines of 15-20%, nearing historical averages, but the adjustment duration has been shorter than the historical average, suggesting a need for patience [71][72] - The report recommends continuing to allocate resources according to calendar effects, particularly in banking and white goods, while observing potential shifts in growth styles as economic data is released [71][72]

Core Viewpoints - The current adjustment is characterized as a "doubtful bull market level," indicating that the major trends in the AI industry chain have not ended, although there are short-term fluctuations and a temporary lack of cost-effectiveness in large trends. This situation resembles historical patterns observed in early 2014, early 2018, and early 2021 [1][3][5] - The "two-stage bull market theory" remains unchanged, suggesting that the transition from Bull Market 1.0 to 2.0 is a typical feature of the A-share bull market cycle.

The micro-structural improvements in the technology sector are also expected to play a significant role in the spring market rotation [6][7] 2026 Industry Style and Rhythm Outlook - The transition from Bull Market 1.0 to 2.0 is expected to favor high-dividend defensive stocks. The actual improvement in economic sentiment will catalyze cyclical stocks to lead index breakthroughs, with technology trends and manufacturing global influence being the main themes of the bull market [8] - In the spring of 2026, the early validation of policy bottoms, cyclical price increases, and improved year-on-year PPI expectations will provide a foundation for cyclical assets. Key areas of focus include basic chemicals, industrial technology, innovative pharmaceuticals, and defense industries, with potential rebounds in AI computing power, storage, energy storage, and robotics [8]
