1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Continue to be bullish on equity assets in 2026, maintaining a "slow bull" pattern. However, the narrative of liquidity will weaken marginally, and the expectation of economic rebound remains weak, so the increase in 2026 may be smaller than that in 2025 [3][8] - Structurally, it is more optimistic about the opportunities in technology growth stocks and the profit repair direction of enterprises in the "anti-involution" line. It is more bullish on IM. If incremental policies for real estate and consumption are implemented, low-valued sectors have the dual opportunities of profit and valuation repair, and IF can be allocated [5] 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs External Environment - **Sino-US Relations**: Before the US mid-term elections in 2026, Sino-US frictions will continue, but they are more of a means of game, and the probability of a significant increase in tariffs is small. Sino-US relations will be in a period of phased relaxation. Pay attention to the possible visit of Trump to China in April 2026, which may cause significant market fluctuations [5][16] - **US Interest Rate Policy**: The recent rise in the US unemployment rate to 4.6% and the decline in core CPI to 2.6% in November provide a basis for interest rate cuts. It is expected that there will be 2 - 3 interest rate cuts in 2026, with a space of 50 - 75BP [18] - **Global Capital Flow**: With the continuation of the global interest rate cut process, overseas funds' allocation demand is expected to further spill over to emerging markets. Chinese equity assets are cost-effective, and overseas funds are expected to contribute more marginal increments to the domestic market. However, Japan's interest rate hike to 0.75% may disrupt global capital spillover and weaken the capital spillover effect [23] Domestic Judgment - **Policy Orientation**: Fiscal policy remains positive, and monetary policy is moderately loose. The support at the macro level has not increased. The real estate market is in the deep - water area of stability, and policies to expand consumption are expected. The main lines of new quality productivity and anti - involution remain unchanged. Capital market policies aim to enhance internal market stability, with strict supervision as the norm [28][31] - **Economic Situation**: GDP growth rate will remain relatively stable at around 4.9% in 2026. Economic stability depends on the central government's borrowing. Manufacturing investment and infrastructure construction investment are expected to pick up in 2026, while the real estate market is still in a downturn. Domestic consumption improvement has fallen short of expectations, and exports may still drive GDP growth next year [34][35][38] - **Market Liquidity**: The A - share market will maintain sufficient liquidity in 2026. Incremental funds come from retail investors' new accounts, margin trading funds, index ETFs, dividend reinvestment, foreign capital, and long - term funds (insurance funds). However, attention should be paid to the impact of shareholder reductions and net outflows of southbound funds, as well as the IPO progress [52] Structural Judgment - **Industry Growth**: The economic growth engine is shifting, and structural opportunities still exist in 2026. Traditional industries such as real estate, construction, coal, and food and beverage are still under pressure of negative growth, while industries representing cutting - edge technologies such as computer, electronics, and power equipment maintain growth. Non - ferrous metals also benefit from technologies such as AI [62] - **Growth vs. Value Stocks**: The strength of domestic growth stocks and value stocks is highly correlated with the yield of the 10 - year US Treasury bond. It is expected that the US will cut interest rates 2 - 3 times in 2026, and the yield of the US Treasury bond has room to decline further, so growth stocks are expected to remain strong [70] - **Index Allocation**: From an absolute valuation perspective, the valuations of the Shanghai Stock Exchange 50 and CSI 300 are both below 15 times, with allocation value. If incremental policies for real estate and consumption are implemented, low - valued sectors have the dual opportunities of profit and valuation repair, and IF can be allocated. The absolute valuations of the CSI 500, CSI 1000, ChiNext, and STAR 50 have increased significantly, pending verification of profit fundamentals. Among the four major index futures, the CSI 1000 has the highest annualized basis rate, which can provide a safety cushion, and can be allocated when its annualized basis rate is higher than 15% [71][75]
