Key Points and Arguments Anti-Involution Policies - The anti-involution policy aims to shift competition from price and scale to quality, with a projected execution timeframe of about a decade [2]. - The policy is expected to support the CSI-300's EPS growth, with a bottom-up consensus estimate of 14.6% year-on-year for 2026 [2]. Capital Expenditure (Capex) and Inventory Trends - In Q3 2025, nine out of twelve industries reported year-on-year cuts in capex, indicating a trend towards quality-based competition [2]. - The hog, battery materials, dairy, and chemicals sectors are leading in destocking, with average inventory days decreasing by 13%, 9%, 6%, and 4% respectively [5]. - Capex reductions in these sectors were significant, with year-on-year drops of 20%, 45%, 22%, and 15% respectively [5]. Sector Performance - Battery materials and chemicals have been recognized for production cuts and ASP stabilization, outperforming the CSI-300 in the second half of 2025 [5]. - The coal, baijiu, lithium, cement, and solar sectors are facing inventory pressures due to softer demand against prior capacity expansions [6]. - The autos and logistics sectors are increasing capex while reducing inventories, with companies like BYD and Great Wall Motor pursuing aggressive overseas expansion [7].

Fiscal Support and Government Initiatives - Targeted fiscal support from the Chinese government is seen as a potential catalyst for transitioning sectors from active to passive destocking [5]. - Various sectors, including autos, battery materials, and solar, have seen government initiatives aimed at stabilizing growth and curbing low-price competition [34]. Additional Important Insights - The dairy sector is focusing on high-end products to differentiate from competitors, while the hog sector is stabilizing prices through capacity control measures [34]. - The logistics sector is shifting from price wars to value-added services, with regulatory support to prevent below-cost dumping [34].
