Weekly report on industry configuration and theme tracking: Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard is expected to boost the prosperity of the game sector

Investment suggestion: we judge that the A-share market can still achieve positive returns in the first quarter of 2022, but the index performance may not be as good as that in 2021, and there is a structural market. We recommend focusing on high growth tracks with performance certainty. Suggested configuration: (1) carbon neutralization theme. At present, China is fully promoting the goal of “carbon neutrality”. Clean energy such as wind power and photovoltaic is accelerating the replacement of traditional energy. We can pay attention to new energy, energy storage, energy conservation and environmental protection. (2) New economic theme. High end technology manufacturing industry may be an important driving force for future economic growth. It is suggested to pay attention to chip semiconductors and high-end intelligent manufacturing with accelerated domestic substitution and rapid growth of the industry. (3) Emerging consumption themes. At present, China’s PPI is at a high level and CPI rises slowly. The subsequent scissors difference between the two is expected to converge, and the industrial profits will shift from the upstream to the middle and downstream. It is expected that there will be some opportunities in the consumer sector. It is suggested to continue to pay attention to the food, beverage and household appliances sectors. (4) Epidemic Damage theme. With the further improvement of vaccination rates in developing countries such as Africa, Mexico and Brazil, the global epidemic is expected to be further controlled. There is momentum for valuation and repair in the affected sectors of the epidemic, which can be paid attention to: aviation, airports, tourism, hotels, cinemas, etc.

On the whole, the scale of infrastructure construction during the 14th Five Year Plan period contracted compared with the 13th Five Year Plan period, and the growth rate of infrastructure construction slowed down. However, it is not difficult to find that the plan has made clear requirements for the green and low-carbon transformation action of transportation, including the construction of charging and replacement facilities network and the promotion of new energy and clean energy transportation equipment. Superimposed with the policy of “steady growth”, new energy infrastructure and other related industries may benefit.
