On August 20, analysis from the China International Capital Corporation (CICC) indicated that the external factors impacting the market are predominantly short-term and intermittent in nature. Consequently, the recovery trend of A-shares observed since late July is anticipated to continue. Regarding allocation strategies, the market has experienced heightened volatility due to external shocks, with the dividend investment style once again showcasing its resilience on the 19th. As market risk appetite gradually rebounds and the peak earnings season draws near, it is prudent to concentrate on sectors and companies with robust performance fundamentals. Specifically, two key themes warrant attention:

Firstly, selectively target growth sectors with promising prospects: Following the technology sector's correction, overcrowding has diminished. Industries with high growth potential, such as AI infrastructure (encompassing optical communications, PCBs, etc.), are projected to sustain robust growth throughout this year. Within the semiconductor and computing power sectors, it is crucial to assess the alignment between fundamentals and valuations, as the post-market performance of tech growth stocks may exhibit divergence. Additionally, several companies in the innovative pharmaceutical sector have entered the clinical data validation phase, a development worthy of close monitoring.

Secondly, focus on sectors experiencing cyclical improvements: Fundamentals across multiple sectors are rebounding from cyclical troughs. It is advisable to consider geopolitical situations and capacity cycles, with a particular emphasis on sectors demonstrating improving performance and favorable supply-demand dynamics. These include power grid equipment, petrochemicals, engineering machinery, and non-bank financial sectors. The non-ferrous metals sector also merits attention following recent adjustments. However, the fundamental recovery of industries reliant solely on domestic demand has been relatively sluggish and necessitates ongoing observation.
