Report Industry Investment Rating - The rating for the stock index is "oscillating" [5] Core Viewpoints of the Report - In April 2025, China's economic data was generally lackluster, with a sharp contrast between high export growth and weak domestic demand. The "fatigue period" of domestic policy efforts may be emerging, and the growth rate in policy - supported areas is also declining. New - quality productivity sectors maintain growth resilience, corresponding to a relatively high risk appetite for the BeiZheng 50 Index and small - cap indexes in the stock market. However, the macro - picture of the pro - cyclical sector's failure to gain momentum, low inflation, and weak consumer confidence restricts the stock index. The corporate profit growth rate in 2025 may only be around 3%. The stock market's rise in the first five months of this year relied more on valuation expansion, but the current high valuation level makes it difficult to support continued expansion. In the long - term, the stock index still has room, but in the short - to - medium term, there is a need to be vigilant about the pressure of valuation correction [2][31] Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 1. Economic Data Interpretation in April 2025 - **Overall Economic Situation**: As the first month after the escalation of the tariff war, China's economic indicators weakened year - on - year. Except for industrial growth, all were below market expectations, indicating emerging domestic economic pressure after the rapid recovery in the first quarter. In April, the seasonally - adjusted month - on - month growth rates of industrial growth, social retail, and fixed - asset investment were at historically low seasonal levels. After deducting price factors, the supply side outperformed the demand side in the cumulative data for the first four months [1][9] - **Supply Side**: Both industrial and service sectors showed a slowdown in year - on - year growth, but new - quality productivity became a stable growth source. In the industrial supply, the high - tech industry showed strong resilience to external shocks such as the tariff war, with a relatively high overall growth rate and a small decline. The mining and public utility sectors related to domestic demand declined significantly due to weak demand. In the service supply, new business forms such as information technology services maintained resilience, while traditional industries such as wholesale and retail contracted [11][12] - **Consumption**: The growth of social retail in April fell short of expectations. In terms of categories, there may be a phenomenon of low - price competition in the catering industry. In commodity retail, gold and silver jewelry, cultural and office products, and cosmetics showed high growth, while the growth of cars and communication products in traditional subsidy areas slowed down [3][18] - **Investment**: In May, the growth rate of fixed - asset investment declined. Among them, the growth rates of manufacturing and infrastructure investment decreased from high levels, and the decline in real estate investment widened. In the real estate sector, both investment and sales weakened, and the housing price situation was not optimistic. The continuous decline in housing prices deepened the impact on residents' asset - liability behavior and weakened domestic consumption - promotion policies [23][26] 2. Investment Suggestions - The economic data in April was lackluster, with a contrast between high export growth and weak domestic demand. The "fatigue period" of domestic policy efforts may be emerging. New - quality productivity sectors maintain growth resilience, corresponding to a relatively high risk appetite for the BeiZheng 50 Index and small - cap indexes in the stock market. However, the pro - cyclical sector's failure to gain momentum, low inflation, and weak consumer confidence restrict the stock index. The corporate profit growth rate in 2025 may only be around 3%. The stock market's rise in the first five months of this year relied more on valuation expansion, but the current high valuation level makes it difficult to support continued expansion. In the long - term, the stock index still has room, but in the short - to - medium term, there is a need to be vigilant about the pressure of valuation correction [2][31]
