Tianfeng: New energy and unmanned transportation will reshape the transportation landscape
Tianfeng research report states that the application of new energy and unmanned driving technology will significantly reduce energy and labor costs. As toll collection on highways gradually expires, tolls will also decrease, and the overall cost of road transportation is expected to significantly decrease, with the share of volume anticipated to increase. In the passenger transport sector, ride-hailing and carpooling services are gradually diverting from the traditional taxi and high-speed rail markets. In the freight transport sector, environmentally friendly vehicles such as natural gas heavy trucks will divert from railway freight. The promotion of intelligent driving policies will also increase traffic flow and capacity, benefiting related companies such as Didi, DIDA INC, and Zhongtong Express significantly.
CITIC SEC: The computing power industry chain remains a good choice for asset allocation
CITIC SEC's research report believes that the computing power industry chain is multi-faceted, large in scale, and has good growth potential, making it a good choice for asset allocation. The computing power chip, server, and network communication sectors are the largest sub-sectors of the computing power industry chain. It is estimated that by 2025, performance elasticity of chips and AI servers will be more than 4 times higher than in 2023, and optical modules will show more than 2 times performance elasticity. In terms of domestic substitution, the second quarter of 2024 is expected to herald an economic inflection point for chips, which may promote a commercial positive cycle. It is recommended to focus on global and domestic leading companies in the computing power chip industry, server manufacturers with core cooperation of chip manufacturers, and leading companies in optical modules.
Popular Sectors
1. Insurance stocks fluctuated and strengthened
Insurance stocks fluctuated and strengthened, with Hubei Biocause Pharmaceutical hitting the limit up, and China Pacific Insurance, China Life Insurance, The People's Insurance, and Ping An Insurance following the upward trend.
Commentary: Dongguan Securities analyst Wu Xiaotong believes that the recent strong performance of A-share insurance stocks is mainly due to the better-than-expected growth in listed insurance companies' performance. The significant improvement in investment income compared to the same period is the driving factor for the year-on-year growth of net profits of listed insurance companies this year. Against the backdrop of declining long-term interest rates and increased stock market volatility in the first half of the year, various insurance companies actively increased their allocation of long-term interest rate bonds and equity assets, increased high dividend asset allocations, and, under the low base effect, drove the strong performance of the bond bull market and high dividend sector to achieve high profit growth.
