Investment strategy:
Aviation: Fundamentals: even considering the 737max go around, the growth rate of China’s aviation industry fleet is expected to be only 4.5% and 3.8% in the next two years. There is high uncertainty in the contraction of supply growth. When the international line is fully liberalized and the industry enters a tight balance between supply and demand in the future, the profit center of the aviation industry will usher in a deterministic rise, Excellent private airlines such as Spring Airlines Co.Ltd(601021) are expected to surpass the profit peak of 25 million per unit. Valuation: at present, the market value of the single aircraft of the three major airlines + spring and autumn auspicious is 102133% of the base in 2019, reflecting the high degree of optimism of A-share investors about the profit potential and demand recovery of China’s aviation industry. The game attribute of the sector suppresses the excess income brought by the repair of fundamentals in the future. We believe that private airlines expanded against the trend during the epidemic period and are expected to convert the fleet size and time resources into business performance when the travel demand returns to normal. At the current time, we mainly recommend Spring Airlines Co.Ltd(601021) and Juneyao Airlines Co.Ltd(603885) , and are optimistic about the high performance elasticity of the three airlines in the recovery cycle.
Hotels: medium and high-end upgrade into the second half, and buy products produced by differentiation α。 The epidemic situation has accelerated the clearance of industries, and the chain rate has increased significantly (26 → 31%), but there is still room compared with 70% in the United States; During the epidemic period, the wine management group expanded against the trend and concentrated its share to the head, which helps to standardize the supply of the industry; The head company upgraded to medium and high-end, optimized the existing product structure, improved the overall profitability, overweight and light assets, and weakened the cyclical fluctuation. In the post epidemic period, the hotel industry is expected to start the revenue upward cycle driven by house prices under the new pattern: at the current time, the target Zhejiang Ssaw Boutique Hotels Co.Ltd(301073) of high-end resort hotels / medium and high-end hotels is mainly recommended. We are optimistic about the performance of Shanghai Jin Jiang International Hotels Co.Ltd(600754) with the highest proportion of medium and high-end hotels after brand integration, releasing flexibility, and recommend Huazhu group, a private wine management leader with excellent operation ability.
Risk tip: the sharp decline of macroeconomic growth and the repeated epidemic in a large area have seriously affected the travel demand and the safe operation risk of the aviation industry.
