【Institutional viewpoint】

Guotai Junan: Major coal groups are rich in unlisted coal assets. We expect that under the deepening reform of state-owned enterprises, the securitization of high-quality assets will be encouraged. At the same time, in order to avoid horizontal competition, the group’s asset injection is expected to accelerate, opening up room for the growth of listed coal companies, and the valuation can be expected to increase . Recommended: China Shenhua, China Coal Energy, Yankuang Energy, Hengyuan Coal Power, Lu’an Environmental Energy, Shanxi Coking Coal, etc.

CITIC Construction Investment: It is expected that the price of high-purity quartz sand and quartz crucible will continue to rise in 2023, and the price will continue to remain high in 2024. Investment suggestions: (1) Quartz sand suppliers benefit from concentration; (2) Quartz crucible: The supply of high-purity quartz sand, the core raw material, is limited. The quartz crucible factory that signed a long-term agreement with overseas high-purity quartz sand suppliers is expected to have a significant profit level Quartz crucible factories that have advantages in ensuring the supply of high-purity quartz sand will also benefit. (3) Silicon wafers: Leading silicon wafer manufacturers have significant advantages in the supply chain, and are expected to widen the non-silicon cost gap with second-tier companies.

Galaxy Securities: Overseas uncertainties further highlight the allocation value of A shares and RMB assets. The domestic economy is recovering, and the signs of improvement are obvious. With the continuous introduction of support policies, superimposed March entered the peak period of annual report disclosure, and the market entered a period of favorable policies + performance support expectations + low valuation resonance. It is recommended to focus on high-quality companies with short-term performance support + low valuation. Suggested attention: 1) Non-ferrous metals are expected to benefit from economic recovery, and strong energy demand drives up prices; 2) Computer sector; the digital economy promotes its development, benefiting from broad future development prospects + policy support expectations; 3) Consumption sector, domestic economy Restoring and superimposing the release of residents’ willingness to consume has brought the industry the strongest deterministic Beta opportunity. After a period of volatility, the profitability of the consumer sector has a high probability of continuing to rebound.
