Core Conclusions - The bull market is entering its second phase, transitioning from a "technology bull" to a "wealth bull" [1] - After the "super macro month" in October, the market is expected to favor cyclical stocks as a better allocation choice due to high valuations and potential adjustments if EPS does not improve [1][5] - Current market conditions present an optimal window for investing in cyclical stocks, supported by five key reasons [1] Reason 1: Cyclical Stocks as "Friends of Time" - Since Q3, the market has begun to trade based on changes in profitability (△ROE), indicating a return to investment in economic recovery [21] - Cyclical stocks have lagged behind in price compared to improvements in fundamentals, making them more favorable during market adjustments [21][24] Reason 2: Potential Requirements of the "14th Five-Year Plan" - The "14th Five-Year Plan" suggests that by 2035, per capita GDP should reach the level of moderately developed countries, requiring an annual growth rate of 4.1% plus inflation and currency appreciation [2][30] - Achieving this goal necessitates a combination of moderate inflation and currency appreciation to establish a growth baseline for cyclical industries [2][31] Reason 3: Cross-Border Capital Inflow, Repeating 2019-2021 - Recent reports emphasize that cross-border capital inflow will effectively support domestic demand, with signs of cyclical improvement already emerging [3][33] - The return of cross-border capital is expected to drive a revaluation of global commodities and domestic manufacturing, similar to the core asset bull market seen post-pandemic [3][36] Reason 4: New Regulations for Public Funds Guiding "Rebalancing" - The introduction of new regulations for public funds is expected to lead to a rebalancing of holdings between TMT and cyclical stocks [4][39] - As public funds have not significantly increased new issuances, the shift from cyclical to TMT stocks has resulted in a decrease in the pricing power of TMT stocks [4][40] Reason 5: Slowdown in Incremental Capital Inflows, Entering a Competitive Phase - Since September, there has been a noticeable slowdown in the inflow of various types of capital, indicating a shift in market dynamics [5][44] - The market is transitioning into a phase of competition, with cyclical stocks likely to benefit from this change [5][51] Investment Recommendations: Transitioning from "Technology Bull" to "Wealth Bull" - The report suggests continuing to invest in cyclical stocks, particularly in sectors such as non-ferrous metals, new consumption, and high-end manufacturing, as these areas are expected to benefit from the current economic conditions [5][54]

Core Viewpoint - The report from Western Securities for Q4 2025 strategy outlook emphasizes the theme of "Attack and Defense Transformation," indicating that the market is at a critical juncture of "ice and fire conversion" [1]. Group 1: Cross-Border Capital Flow - The past few years have seen a divergence in monetary policy between the US and China, with the Fed's interest rate hikes leading to a capital outflow exceeding 16 trillion yuan, resulting in domestic price deflation and a negative cycle of "deflation-export-deflation" [1][21][26]. - The Fed's anticipated rate cuts in 2025 are expected to accelerate the return of cross-border capital, potentially reversing the negative cycle if the RMB appreciates beyond 7.0, making RMB-denominated assets more attractive than USD [1][34][30]. Group 2: Sino-US Technology Cycle - The technology cycle between China and the US is characterized by an "attack and defense transformation." China's high-end manufacturing has expanded through fiscal subsidies from 2019 to 2023, while the focus is shifting towards cash flow recovery and AI infrastructure investment [2][37]. - In contrast, the US has faced high unit costs in AI infrastructure due to early investments, which have hindered the commercialization of AI applications, leading to a "Ponzi-like" situation [2][37]. Group 3: Shift in Consumption Drivers - Historical trends from the US and Japan indicate that as economies mature, the driving force shifts from investment to consumption. China is currently transitioning to a consumption-driven economy, with evidence of a recovery in consumer spending [3][10]. - The anticipated return of cross-border capital and the restoration of wealth effects are expected to enhance consumer capacity and willingness, positioning consumption as a key driver for the upcoming bull market [3][10]. Group 4: Market Leadership Transition - The current concentration of public fund holdings in TMT (over 30%) suggests a high likelihood of a market leadership transition, as historical patterns indicate that such crowded positions often lead to shifts in market focus [3][8]. - The market style in Q4 may pivot towards high-end manufacturing and consumer sectors that still offer value, as the microstructure of A-shares shows signs of overcrowding [3][8]. Group 5: Industry Configuration - The report highlights a focus on the "New High" logic in industry configuration, emphasizing sectors such as non-ferrous metals, which benefit from global re-industrialization and de-dollarization, and consumer sectors like snacks, pets, and travel that are seeing increased demand [3][12]. - High-end manufacturing sectors, particularly in renewable energy, chemicals, and medical devices, are also highlighted as areas of interest due to their export advantages and the backdrop of domestic AI capabilities [3][12].
