Future Judgment
1. Cinda: Style switching may become stronger, focus on low-value sectors
Cinda believes that recent configuration views: Style switching may become stronger, focusing on low-value sectors. Non-banking financial institutions are gradually increasing their resilience, with a focus on low-value power equipment and AI applications in the growth sector. Cyclical stocks are also expected to show resilience in the next six months. The style can easily change after the bull market turbulence period. After the bull market turbulence, there is a high probability that the style of both large and small caps will change, and there is no clear rule for the transition of growth and value styles, even if the growth and value styles remain the same. Leading sectors are likely to see some changes.
2. Galaxy Securities: The characteristics of the market oscillating structure may continue as the year draws to a close, pay attention to opportunities in next year's policy dividends and economic trends
Galaxy Securities believes that in the short term, as the year draws to a close, the characteristics of the market's oscillating structure may continue, with a fast-paced market rotation speed. Special attention should be paid to the layout opportunities for next year's policy dividends and economic trends. In terms of configuration, focus on the following "two main lines + two auxiliary lines": the first main line is the global once-in-a-century great changes accelerating, with the country's economic logic shifting towards new productive forces. The ten key areas such as artificial intelligence, embodied intelligence, new energy, controllable nuclear fusion, quantum technology, aerospace, etc., are worth paying attention to. The second main line is the moderate advancement of anti-over-investment policies, with the optimization of supply and demand structures coupled with expectations of price increases driving the repair path for the profits of the manufacturing and resource sectors. In addition, under the guidance of expanding domestic demand policies, the consumption sector is facing a window of opportunity, and the trend towards going abroad will further open up the profit space for businesses.
3. CMSC: Investment opportunities for next year will focus on domestic demand recovery and technological self-reliance, and cyclical styles are expected to continue to dominate
CMSC believes that looking ahead to 2026, as the year marking the beginning of China's "15th Five-Year Plan" and the mid-term election year in the United States, it will form a crucial policy resonance. Against the background of good profitability in the past two years and the scarcity of assets with high returns, A-share fund supply and demand are expected to continue to see a large-scale net inflow, providing liquidity support for the realization of a slow bull market. Investment strategies should focus on the core idea of "seeking cycles in style switching and looking long-term with dual drives", with investment opportunities revolving around "domestic demand recovery" and "technological self-reliance". In terms of style, balance between large and small caps, with cyclical styles expected to continue to dominate, at the industry level, focusing on three clues of cyclical sectors and capacity clearance, technological innovation and advantage manufacturing, and expanded domestic demand. It is recommended to focus on industries such as non-ferrous metals, machinery and equipment, power equipment, electronics, media, and social services.
