Key Points Industry/Company Involved: - The report focuses on the Multi-Industry & Electrical Equipment (MI/EE) industry, specifically analyzing the impact of China's stimulus measures on various companies within the sector. Core Views and Arguments: 1. China Stimulus Measures: The People's Bank of China (PBoC) announced a series of monetary policy measures to stimulate the Chinese economy, including rate cuts, reserve requirement ratio (RRR) cuts, and mortgage loan rate cuts. Additionally, fiscal policy measures were announced, including increased bond issuance and capital injections to state-owned banks. 2. Impact on MI/EE Companies: Most MI/EE companies indicated that business in China has stabilized sequentially, with Y/Y organic sales trends in China seeing a material sequential uptick from 4% growth in 1Q24 to 8.5% in 2Q24. However, this uptick is attributed to easing prior year comparisons rather than a measurable improvement in demand. 3. China Revenue Exposure: VRT, IR, and EMR have the highest China revenue exposure and would likely disproportionately benefit from a recovery in demand. BMI, HUBB, LII, SWK, SYM, and ZWS have no China revenue exposure. 4. Share Price Performance: Since the China stimulus announcement, share price performance within the MI/EE coverage universe has been mixed, with VRT (+11%), ZWS (+5%), and EMR (+4%) being the strongest performers, while DOV (-2%), LII (-2%), and SWK (-1%) being the weakest performers. 5. Skepticism about China Recovery: While the China recovery could be a theme for 2025, the report remains somewhat skeptical about a material recovery in China over the next 12 months, describing it as a 'free call option' for applicable companies within the group.
