- The report introduces a quantitative model framework for market trend analysis, focusing on five asset style stages: external growth, quality growth, quality dividend, value dividend, and bankruptcy value. The model evaluates assets based on their intrinsic attributes and prioritizes them using the sequence of g > ROE > D, analyzing whether there are "good assets" and whether they are "expensive" [5][8][9] - The model incorporates key factors such as expected growth (gf), actual growth (g), profitability (ROE), high dividend (D), and bankruptcy value (B/P). Each factor is associated with specific market phases, e.g., expected growth is relevant across all phases, while profitability is emphasized during maturity phases [9][12] - The quantitative model has demonstrated strong historical performance, achieving an annualized return of 27.67% since 2009. It has shown consistent excess returns in most years, particularly post-2017, with limited effectiveness in years like 2011, 2012, and 2016 [19][22] - The model's backtesting results for specific years include notable excess returns, such as 51% in 2009, 36% in 2013, and 62% in 2022. However, it also recorded underperformance in years like 2011 (-11%) and 2014 (-4%) [22] - The report details six specific strategies derived from the model, each focusing on different factors: - **Expected Growth Strategy**: Selects industries with the highest analyst-forecasted growth rates. Recent recommendations include sectors like automotive sales, lithium equipment, and tungsten [38][39] - **Actual Growth Strategy**: Focuses on industries with the highest unexpected growth (△g). Current recommendations include photovoltaic equipment, insurance, and coal chemical sectors [40][41] - **Profitability Strategy**: Targets high-ROE industries with low valuations under the PB-ROE framework. Recommended sectors include copper, liquor, and non-dairy beverages [43][44] - **Quality Dividend Strategy**: Utilizes a DP+ROE scoring system to identify industries. Current recommendations include forestry, lithium equipment, and fiberglass [46][47] - **Value Dividend Strategy**: Employs a DP+BP scoring system. Recommended sectors include security, daily chemicals, and buses [49][50] - **Bankruptcy Value Strategy**: Focuses on industries with the lowest PB+SIZE scores. Current recommendations include automotive sales, ceramics, and cotton textiles [53][54]

Group 1 - The American Chemistry Council (ACC) forecasts that the growth of chemical production and industrial sectors in the U.S. will remain weak until 2026, with a projected increase of only 0.7% in 2025 and a further decline to 0.3% in 2026 [1] - Economic uncertainties have eased somewhat, but factors such as trade fluctuations and high interest rates continue to pose constraints. The growth momentum in the manufacturing sector is expected to wane due to changes in tariff policies and high customer inventory levels [1] - A recovery turning point is anticipated in mid-2026, with a gradual recovery process in the second half of the year supported by industrial capacity expansion plans and the lagging effects of interest rate cuts [1] Group 2 - The performance of sub-markets is notably divergent, with specialty chemicals benefiting from an 8.4% growth in the coatings category, leading to an overall increase of 4.3% in 2025, although a decline of 0.2% is expected in 2026 [1] - Basic chemicals are projected to see a slight increase of 0.1% in 2025, while inorganic chemicals and plastic resin production declines offset some growth. A rebound to 1.2% growth is expected in 2026, despite a downturn in synthetic rubber and artificial fiber production [1] - Agricultural chemicals and consumer chemicals remain under pressure, with expected declines of 1.0% and 1.5% respectively in 2026, following a 2.7% increase in agricultural chemical production and a 2.2% decrease in consumer chemical production in 2025 [1] Group 3 - The end-use market shows mixed performance, with 11 out of 20 tracked markets experiencing a decline in consumption. The apparel sector sees a drop of 3%, while the semiconductor and electronics sectors lead with a 12% increase [2] - Artificial intelligence (AI) is identified as a core growth driver, boosting U.S. corporate investment growth to 4.1% in 2025, which directly stimulates demand for chemical-related products such as semiconductor materials and data center cooling systems [2] - However, non-AI sectors are affected by high interest rates and rising raw material prices, leading to a reduction in investment plans, with corporate investment growth expected to fall to 2.6% in 2026 [2]
