China Photovoltaic Industry Association: Resolutely oppose malicious competition at prices below cost At the 2025 Photovoltaic Industry Annual Conference, Wang Bohua, Honorary Chairman of the China Photovoltaic Industry Association, stated that the photovoltaic industry is in a transformative period towards high-quality development. The demand side still has significant potential, and the central economic work conference has set the direction for high-quality development of the photovoltaic industry. Wang Bohua believes that during this transition period, it is important to reject "internal competition" and lay the foundation for high-quality development of the photovoltaic industry. This requires the participation of industry regulators, local governments, industry associations, various media organizations, financial institutions, and companies supporting industry self-discipline. It is important to resolutely oppose malicious competition at prices below cost, as well as blindly expanding production in violation of market economic laws and regulations. Secondly, the application side needs to implement the concept of high-quality development, including not bidding below full cost on the application side, further reducing unreasonable resource fees and actively adapting to the new market situation. 2. National Development and Reform Commission: Expand effective investment in emerging industries and plan for future industrial projects The National Development and Reform Commission released a document titled "Focusing on Expanding Effective Investment", which emphasized optimizing investment structure and expanding investment space.

EB SECURITIES: New policy deployment will support the A-share year-end rally EB SECURITIES believes that the new policy deployment will support the A-share year-end rally. On the one hand, domestic economic policies are expected to continue to exert force, with economic growth expected to remain in a reasonable range, further consolidating the foundation for the prosperous development of the capital market. On the other hand, the release of policy dividends is expected to boost market confidence, further attracting various funds to actively flow in. Historically, the A-share market has shown good performance in the opening years of the 13th and 14th Five-Year Plans. The positive performance in the opening years is expected to continue in 2026. In terms of industry allocation, focus on the TMT and advanced manufacturing sectors; if the market experiences short-term volatility due to external factors, focus on defensive and consumer sectors. 2. Huachuang Securities: The launch of the spring frenzy may need to wait for real estate risks to be resolved Huachuang Securities believes that the emergence of the spring frenzy must be preceded by a low point, which means that the core factors driving the decline have changed, or that stock prices have already been fully absorbed. The fundamental reason for this round of retracement is still the drag from real estate and domestic demand. The substantial retreat of the Hong Kong real estate chain is mainly due to its performance being more affected than A-shares. The signal of destocking in real estate is clear, but the market's reaction is cautious, and the substance still needs to be observed. The launch of the spring frenzy may need to wait for the resolution of real estate risks. Focus on the bond redemption situation in 2026 and the extension process of Vanke. With the widening of dual tracks, the short-term focus of configuration remains on technology and the strong getting stronger.

The Central Economic Work Conference has shifted from extraordinary counter-cyclical adjustment to counter-cyclical + cross-cycle, indicating that the economy is moving away from strong stimulus dependence and strengthening the stability of the valuation system. 3. BOC International: A-shares are in the "bull market continuation" phase, focusing on technology and "anti-internal circulation" themes BOC International believes that A-shares are still in an upward channel. Firstly, the smooth transition from "stabilizing" to "improving quality" in future domestic economic policies will create a stable macroeconomic expectation environment for the market. As policy expectations stabilize, market momentum will gradually shift from being primarily driven by policy and funds, to being driven by fundamental earnings. A-shares are currently in the "bull market continuation" phase, with long-term capital entering the market in 2026 and other policy positives still expected. The warming of the price center, domestic demand recovery, and profit growth brought about by industrial innovation will help the market move towards a comprehensive bull market. In the short term, the selection of the next Federal Reserve Chairman and the implementation of domestic monetary and fiscal policies will be the focus of market attention at the end of the year and early next year. With the easing of geopolitical risks and the gradual implementation of Sino-US policy expectations, A-share year-end positioning rally is expected to start early next year. Focus on the technology and "anti-internal circulation" themes. This article is reprinted from "Tencent Selection Stocks." Editor: Liu Jiayin.
