Macro Strategy - The report highlights that since the implementation of tariffs in February, US core inflation has consistently underperformed expectations for five consecutive months. This is attributed to factors such as pre-positioning of imports and inventory cycles by US traders, increased imports from Mexico contributing to deflation, and the relatively low weight of tariff-sensitive core goods in the CPI. Additionally, tariffs have negatively impacted the service sector and overall US economic demand [1][10]. Fixed Income - The issuance of the first batch of Sci-Tech Bond ETFs is expected to enhance the demand for Sci-Tech bonds, as these ETFs offer low fees, high transparency, and efficient trading mechanisms. This could lead to a significant increase in the scale of these ETFs and consequently boost the demand for underlying bonds. If the growth rate is rapid, the underlying bonds may experience a favorable market trend, outperforming individual bonds of similar credit quality [2][11][14]. - The report indicates that the introduction of Sci-Tech Bond ETFs will improve market liquidity for these bonds, allowing investors to participate more easily and enhancing market activity. This is expected to compress liquidity premiums and improve the performance of Sci-Tech bond varieties [2][11][14]. Industry - The domestic automotive lighting industry is currently characterized by a "two super, many strong" competitive landscape, with market share expected to continue concentrating towards leading firms. The industry has high entry barriers due to customer resources, technology development, cost control, and quality certification [3][15]. - The report notes a significant decline in Japanese lighting manufacturers over the past decade, while European manufacturers have maintained stability. Domestic leaders like Xingyu have shown continuous growth, with revenue surpassing competitors [3][15][16]. - Investment recommendations favor Xingyu as a leading domestic automotive lighting company, driven by the ongoing intelligent upgrades in automotive lighting, which are expected to increase average selling prices (ASP) and industry growth potential. The company has established deep partnerships with major clients in the new energy vehicle sector, positioning it well for future growth [3][15][16]. - Profit forecasts for Xingyu indicate expected net profits of 1.761 billion, 2.189 billion, and 2.683 billion yuan for 2025, 2026, and 2027, respectively, with corresponding price-to-earnings (PE) ratios of 20, 16, and 13 [3][15][16]. Public Utilities - The report discusses the renewable energy operator industry, highlighting that three major constraints (electricity prices, consumption, and subsidies) are expected to ease, leading to a reversal for green electricity operators. The introduction of a unified pricing mechanism for renewable energy is anticipated to stabilize electricity prices and improve project profitability [5][17][18]. - Investment recommendations focus on high-quality green electricity operators with pure green assets, suggesting companies like Longyuan Power and China General Nuclear Power as potential beneficiaries of the expected market improvements [5][17][18].
