Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - This April, the A-share market may be volatile and strong, and the slow-bull trend remains unchanged. The economy and corporate profits are likely to continue to recover, policies may remain positive, external risks may ease, domestic liquidity may remain loose, and stock market funds may flow back [2][10][20]. - This April, the technology and cyclical styles may be relatively dominant, and the large-cap and small-cap styles may be relatively balanced [2]. - In April, it is recommended to allocate high-quality technology and some cyclical industries at low prices [2]. Group 3: Summary According to the Directory I. A-share Slow-Bull Continues in April (1) Core factors affecting the A-share market's performance in April are fundamentals, policies, and external events - Since 2010, the Shanghai Composite Index has only risen in April in 6 out of 15 years. Economic and profit fundamentals are the core factors determining the A-share market's performance in April. Rising year-on-year growth rates of real estate sales, social retail, and exports may lead to an increase in the Shanghai Composite Index in April, while the impact of the growth rates of industrial enterprise profits and A-share first-quarter report earnings on the rise of the Shanghai Composite Index is not obvious. Policies and external events also have an important impact on the A-share market's performance in April [2][5]. (2) If the A-share market adjusts due to external events in February - March, it may be volatile and strong in April - After 5 major external events in February - March since 2000, the A-share market started to recover from a low level in the first half of April in 4 cases, with an average decline of 0.5% in April (compared to an average decline of 2.2% in March). The A-share market's relatively strong performance in April is mainly driven by a significant decline in sentiment and the return of foreign capital [8]. (3) The A-share market may be volatile and strong in April this year, and the slow-bull trend remains unchanged - In April, the economy may continue to recover. Consumption growth may stabilize, infrastructure and manufacturing investment growth may increase, and exports may maintain a high growth rate. Corporate profits may also continue to rise, with the year-on-year growth rate of PPI and the earnings growth rate of A-share first-quarter reports likely to continue to increase [10]. - Policies in April may remain positive, and external risks may ease marginally. The "Two New" and "Two Important" policies may be implemented more quickly, and the central bank may continue to implement loose monetary policies. The A-share market may have fully priced in the risks of the US - Iran conflict [20]. - Domestic liquidity in April may remain loose, and stock market funds may flow back. The Fed is less likely to cut interest rates this year, but the US economy and employment may remain weak, and the RMB exchange rate may remain strong. The central bank may increase capital injection in April. Historically, foreign capital often flows into the market in April, and this year, with the easing of risks and the recovery of the economy and corporate profits, stock market funds such as margin trading and foreign capital may flow back [21][22]. II. Industry Allocation: Allocate High-Quality Technology and Some Cyclical Industries at Low Prices in April (1) The technology and cyclical styles may be relatively dominant in April, and the large-cap and small-cap styles may be relatively balanced - Historically, the stable and financial styles often lead the market in April, mainly driven by policies and external events. However, this April, the technology and cyclical styles may be relatively dominant because the marginal impact of external shocks on the A-share market may decrease, policies supporting technological innovation may be further implemented, and the cyclical and technology hardware industries may continue to be prosperous [31]. - Historically, large-cap stocks usually outperform in April. However, this April, the large-cap and small-cap styles may be relatively balanced. The high profits of cyclical and technology industries in April may be beneficial to small-cap stocks, the difficult large-scale easing of overseas liquidity expectations may be beneficial to large-cap stocks, and domestic policies are favorable to small-cap stocks [33]. (2) The technology and cyclical industries may return to the main line in April - After the A-share market adjusts due to previous negative shocks, some high-quality technology and cyclical industries may still be dominant in April. Historically, after major external events in February - March, the technology growth and cyclical industries generally do not have excess returns in April, but some technology and cyclical industries with high performance growth rates may still be relatively dominant. Currently, industries such as electronics, communication, non-ferrous metals, and power equipment may be relatively dominant [36]. (3) The valuations of power equipment and media in the growth sector, and non-bank finance in the dividend sector are relatively cost-effective - Currently, the predicted PEGs of power equipment, media, and automobiles in the first - level growth industries are relatively low, at 0.76, 0.86, and 1.10 respectively. In the second - level growth industries, the predicted PEGs of nautical equipment, games, commercial vehicles, and batteries are relatively low, at 0.25, 0.41, 0.61, and 0.71 respectively [39][41]. - Currently, the valuation historical quantiles of non-bank finance, food and beverage, and agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery in the first - level dividend industries are relatively low, at 0.0%, 9.0%, and 13.2% respectively. In the second - level dividend industries, the valuation historical quantiles of insurance, white goods, and securities are relatively low, at 0.0%, 1.3%, and 7.1% respectively [43][46]. (4) It is recommended to allocate high-quality technology and some cyclical industries at low prices in April - It is recommended to allocate industries with upward policy and industrial trends, such as new energy (AI power, energy storage), communication (AI hardware), electronics (semiconductors, AI hardware), non-ferrous metals, chemicals, military (commercial space), and innovative drugs at low prices. These industries have various industry events and positive trends in April [48]. - It is also recommended to allocate low - valuation dividend industries such as coal, power, and banks at low prices. These industries have positive production data and industry events in April [53].
