CICC: The short-term recovery trend is likely to continue.
Haitong: The pace of the short-term market rise may slow down, and there may even be the possibility of a period of consolidation.Around 25-30%; From the perspective of seasonal patterns, the current period is a spring frenzy with data gaps and frequent policy changes. Historically, the average duration of the spring market in A-shares exceeds 2 months, with an average increase of over 20% in the Shanghai Composite Index and the CSI 300 Index during this period.Comparison to historical trends, this round of market uptrend has seen a significantly faster rate of increase. The market has also accumulated a certain amount of profit-taking pressure. Going forward, it is important to note that the short-term market uptrend pace may slow down, and there is even the possibility of a phase of consolidation.
Huaxi: With the successive verification of financial reports, future market trends are likely to see increased volatility and differentiation.
The Huaxi Strategy Team led by Li Lifeng also pointed out that with the convening of the National Two Sessions next week, the validation of economic data and corporate financial reports after the landing of policy expectations becomes more important. Attention should be paid to the improvement of data such as February prices and inflation. It is important to note that due to the continual drag from negative growth PPI, the current A-share corporate profit expectations lack a solid fundamental resilience, and the proportion of downward revisions in profit forecasts for listed companies by A-share institutions has been increasing this year. Following the general rise in February, with the successive verification of financial reports, future market trends are likely to see increased volatility and differentiation.
