China Securities Co., Ltd.: The advantages of high prosperity and growth style are gradually becoming apparent, recommending focus on four directions
The team at China Securities Co., Ltd., led by Chen Guo, stated that from the perspective of fund liquidity and market regulation, the overall investment environment of A-shares has seen a marked improvement compared to the previous period. Following the comprehensive reserve requirement ratio cut in February and the unexpected cut in the 5-year LPR interest rate, the counter-cyclical monetary policy has further improved liquidity and market sentiment. With the continuous rise of high dividend assets leading to a decrease in dividend yield, the advantages of high prosperity and growth style are gradually becoming apparent. It is recommended to focus on: 1. Cyclical industries benefiting from stable economic policies; 2. Technology growth sectors benefiting from improved liquidity and following industry trends and cycle improvements; 3. Core assets; 4. Industries with relatively high dividend yields still have good medium-term allocation value before the economy stabilizes.
