At the same time, the “construction +” model has become a new trend in the development of the industry. The layout of high-quality construction enterprises has created new performance growth points. At the same time, it has helped to improve the valuation of the sector, and the overall configuration value of the industry is significant.
Investment view
At present, the overall fundamentals of the construction industry are improving, especially the rapid growth of orders from central infrastructure enterprises and local infrastructure leaders, which will help improve performance. In the future, it will take the lead in benefiting from the release of infrastructure demand under the goal of stable growth. At the same time, it will actively layout new businesses, improve comprehensive strength and help improve valuation. The construction industry is expected to usher in dual development opportunities of policy driven and “construction +” in 2022, At present, the construction industry is still in the undervalued range, and the investment value is prominent.
Among them, the policy is expected to become a major driving force for the “spring agitation” of the industry in 2022. The recent steady growth policy continues to increase, and the active fiscal policy should improve the efficiency. It is expected that the local special debt is expected to be launched in the first half of the year, “two new and one heavy” construction is expected to increase, and the suitability of infrastructure investment is expected to be advanced. Monetary policy should be flexible and moderate, and maintain reasonable and abundant liquidity. There are expectations of reducing reserve requirements and interest rates in 2022. Loose monetary policy is conducive to the development of the industry.
At the same time, the construction industry actively embraces the “new economy” and actively layout Shenzhen New Industries Biomedical Engineering Co.Ltd(300832) around “construction +”. BIPV, energy storage and carbon sequestration have become the key areas of the layout of listed companies. Some companies Shenzhen New Industries Biomedical Engineering Co.Ltd(300832) have achieved initial results and are expected to continue to make efforts in the future, so as to improve the valuation level of companies and industries. Industry leaders and regional leaders will continue to cultivate traditional businesses, expand the whole industrial chain and extend upstream and downstream around traditional businesses, and fully benefit from the improvement of industry concentration. The release of future performance is sustainable. The construction industry has both “white horse” with good performance and extremely low valuation and “dark horse” with “construction +” layout and standing at the market outlet. The overall trend of the industry is good, with fundamental support and policy catalysis, and “construction +” can improve the valuation space. It is an industry with “advance, attack and retreat” and is optimistic about the overall trend of the construction industry in 2022.
Configuration mainline recommendations
The overall fundamentals of the construction industry have improved. Industry leaders and regional leaders have benefited from the “national advance and people retreat” and the improvement of industry concentration. Both newly signed orders and performance have increased rapidly. At the same time, the construction industry actively embraces the “new economy” and the “construction +” era is coming, opening up the future development space of the company. On the main line of configuration, we propose to actively layout the “construction +” new business sector around the “two new and one heavy” infrastructure leaders and the “double carbon” background:
(1) “two new and one heavy” infrastructure leaders. Central construction enterprises and regional infrastructure leaders will fully benefit from the construction of “two new and one heavy”, and central construction enterprises and regional infrastructure leaders are the main beneficiaries of “national advance and people retreat” and the improvement of industry concentration
