Investment Rating - The report does not explicitly state an investment rating for the industry Core Insights - Key policy points from the Two Sessions include: 1) issuance of 250 billion yuan in ultra-long special government bonds to support the replacement of consumer goods; 2) establishment of a 100 billion yuan fiscal-financial collaboration fund to promote domestic demand through loan interest subsidies and financing guarantees; 3) implementation of actions to enhance service consumption and create new consumption scenarios to stimulate consumption in lower-tier markets.

Core Conclusions - The government work report continues the previous "dual expansion" monetary and fiscal policy framework, creating a favorable macroeconomic environment for the stock market to maintain its upward trend. The economic growth target for 2026 is set at 4.5%-5%, which is more pragmatic; the fiscal policy is "more proactive" with an increased deficit scale: a deficit rate of 4%, with a deficit size of 5.9 trillion yuan, an increase of 230 billion yuan from the previous year; the monetary policy is "moderately loose," providing space for reserve requirement ratio cuts and interest rate reductions to create liquidity easing [3][25]. - Greater expectations are placed on the performance of listed companies in 2026. The report explicitly states the goal of "promoting the overall price level from negative to positive, with consumer prices reasonably and moderately rebounding." The monetary policy also emphasizes "promoting stable economic growth and reasonable price recovery as important considerations." A 4% deficit rate and a 5.9 trillion yuan fiscal deficit imply an expected nominal GDP growth rate of about 5%, suggesting a potential rebound in the GDP deflator to 0-0.5%. The return of inflation is expected to drive up the performance of listed companies, thereby digesting the currently relatively high static valuations, shifting the stock market's main logic from liquidity-driven financial re-inflation in the first half to EPS-driven physical re-inflation in the second half [3][25]. - Focus on cyclical and technological innovation sectors. 1) Cyclical: Major engineering projects during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period and fiscal policies are expected to provide new demand support for cyclical assets, with performance likely to continue improving under tight supply constraints. 2) Technological innovation: The 2026 government work tasks explicitly propose to develop emerging pillar industries such as integrated circuits, aerospace, biomedicine, and low-altitude economy; cultivate future industries like future energy, quantum technology, embodied intelligence, brain-computer interfaces, and 6G, which are expected to enhance the risk appetite for technological innovation [3][25]. Theme Word Frequency Distribution - From 2010 to 2026, the government work reports show a shift from "macroeconomic layout" to "precise policies and support," with "investment" and "support" gaining significant weight, becoming core to most themes.

The frequency of terms like "safety, governance, employment, and security" highlights a stronger emphasis on bottom-line guarantees and people's livelihood concerns while promoting development [4][7]. Policy Strength Analysis - In 2026, the policy strength score for "economic situation judgment" and "expanding domestic demand" themes remains stable compared to last year, reflecting the continuity of previous policies aimed at stabilizing growth and expanding domestic demand. The themes of "macroeconomic policy" and "opening up" also generally follow previous trends [14][19]. - The policy strength score for "risk prevention" is the only theme that saw both an increase in strength and a rise in its share of the report, indicating a growing concern for the health of the capital market and its sustainable development [19][20].
