Institutional Views

China Merchants Securities: Extreme volume reduction is a common bottoming signal, pay attention to the improvement of mid-term performance areas

China Merchants Securities believes that, taking into account previous performance, valuations, trading activity, economic changes, policy and event catalysts, it is recommended to focus on areas where interim performance is expected to continue to grow or marginally improve and where the economic situation is relatively high, specifically involving industries such as electronics (semiconductors, consumer electronics), food and beverage (liquor, food processing), agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery (breeding), utilities (electricity), pharmaceuticals and biology (medical devices, chemical pharmaceuticals) and other sub-sectors.

China Merchants Securities: The entire nuclear power industry chain is expected to usher in a high-prosperity cycle, and the long-term investment value of nuclear power is optimistic

China Merchants Securities said that since 2019, my country's nuclear power approval has accelerated. In 2022 and 2023, my country will approve 10 new nuclear power units respectively. By the end of 2023, my country's nuclear power units under construction will increase to 26, with an installed capacity of 30.3GW. A total of 11 units were approved this time, maintaining a high approval volume, which once again shows that the policy has strengthened support for the development of nuclear power. According to the China Nuclear Energy Association, by 2035, my country's nuclear power generation will account for 10% of the total power generation. Currently, my country's nuclear power generation accounts for less than 5%, and there is still a lot of room for improvement. It is expected that my country's nuclear power will maintain an annual approval rhythm of 6-10 units in the future. Assuming that the investment in a single 1.2 million kilowatt unit is 20 billion yuan, it will bring an average annual construction investment of 120 billion to 200 billion yuan. The entire nuclear power industry chain is expected to usher in a high prosperity cycle, and the investment value of nuclear power is optimistic in the long term.

CITIC Securities: The development level of edge AI will be an important factor in driving the replacement cycle of consumer electronics

CICC pointed out that Google updated the progress of end-side AI, upgraded the AI ​​functions assisted by Gemini on the software side, and launched the intelligent voice assistant Gemini Live; on the hardware side, the computing power and memory capacity of the new generation of smartphones Pixel 9 series have been improved to better support the operation of local AI functions. The deep integration of Gemini AI and Android system demonstrated by Google at this press conference, as well as the multi-modal interactive Gemini Live, can be regarded as a response from Google on behalf of the Android camp to Apple's Apple Intelligence. The competition among technology giants in end-side AI is intensifying. The development level of end-side AI will be an important factor in promoting the replacement cycle of consumer electronics, and it is also a key way to verify whether the heavy investment in AI technology in recent years can achieve a closed business loop. The new product releases of Apple and other Android camp manufacturers in the second half of the year deserve special attention.
