Industry dynamic analysis
The two sessions of the National People’s Congress were held this week, and the expected GDP growth target was 5.5%. It was proposed to put steady growth in a more prominent position. It was once again clear that infrastructure investment should be carried out moderately in advance, and steady growth should continue to increase. The construction of infrastructure and housing construction should focus on water conservancy, transportation, energy, urban pipe network, urbanization and affordable housing. At the level of capital supply, fiscal expenditure should be expanded The central transfer payment has increased, the issuance of special bonds has accelerated, the policy support of the construction industry is still strong, and the market demand is expected to continue to release. At the micro level, some new orders signed by central enterprises in January achieved rapid growth. We continue to be optimistic about the growth rate of infrastructure investment in Q1 and the follow-up market performance of the construction industry. We continue to recommend the high-quality targets of infrastructure central enterprises and local infrastructure leading sectors, survey and design sectors, urban rail industry chain and new power construction as the main force of infrastructure, At the same time, the decoration and undervalued consumption of building materials related to the real estate chain are expected to usher in development opportunities in the future.
The 2022 government work report released on March 5 defines various construction objectives in 2022. We sort out the relevant contents of the construction industry as follows:
Infrastructure construction: actively expand effective investment, appropriately advance infrastructure investment around the major national strategic deployment and the 14th five year plan, build key water conservancy projects, comprehensive three-dimensional transportation network, important energy bases and facilities, accelerate the renewal and transformation of urban gas pipelines and other pipe networks, improve flood control and drainage facilities, and continue to promote the construction of underground comprehensive pipe corridors. The central government has allocated 640 billion yuan of investment in the central budget, and the government has made more investment in people’s livelihood projects, increasing efforts to make up for weaknesses in the field of social and people’s livelihood. Steadily promote the construction of urban agglomeration and metropolitan area, and promote the coordinated development of large, medium and small cities and small towns.
2 real estate: continue to ensure the housing needs of the masses, adhere to the positioning of housing without speculation, explore new development models, adhere to the simultaneous development of rental and purchase, accelerate the development of long-term rental housing market and promote the construction of indemnificatory housing.
3 fiscal policy: in terms of financial fund supply, active fiscal policy should improve efficiency and pay more attention to accuracy and sustainability. It is expected that fiscal revenue will continue to grow this year. In addition, specific state-owned financial institutions and franchised institutions will turn in the remaining profits in recent years according to law and transfer into the budget stability adjustment fund. The scale of expenditure will expand by more than 2 trillion yuan compared with last year, and the available financial resources will increase significantly. This year, the expenditure at the central level will increase by 3.9%, of which the expenditure of central departments will continue to grow negatively. Central to local transfer payments increased by about 1.5 trillion yuan, with a scale of nearly 9.8 trillion yuan, an increase of 18%, the largest increase in many years.
4 monetary policy: strengthen the implementation of prudent monetary policy. Give full play to the dual functions of monetary policy tools in terms of aggregate and structure, and provide stronger support for the real economy. Expand the scale of new loans and keep the growth rate of money supply and social financing basically matching the nominal economic growth.
5. Special bonds: it is proposed to arrange 3.65 trillion yuan of special bonds of local governments. We will strengthen performance orientation, adhere to “funds follow projects”, reasonably expand the scope of use, support the follow-up financing of projects under construction, and start a number of qualified major projects, new infrastructure, transformation of old public facilities and other construction projects. Private investment accounts for the majority of investment. We should give full play to the role of leading major projects and leveraging government investment, improve relevant support policies, and fully mobilize the enthusiasm of private investment.

Industry investment perspective
In 2022, the construction industry is expected to usher in multiple development opportunities of fundamentals, policy driven and “construction +”, and the industry is in the undervalued range, with prominent investment value.
The overall fundamentals of the construction industry are improving. In particular, the rapid growth of orders from central infrastructure enterprises and local infrastructure leaders will help improve performance. 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 valuation repair.
The policy is expected to become another driving force for the “spring agitation” of the industry in 2022. In the near future, the steady growth policy will continue to increase, the active fiscal policy should improve the efficiency, the local special debt can be launched within a certain period, the monetary policy should be flexible and appropriate, and the liquidity should be reasonable and abundant. In 2022, there are expectations of reducing reserve requirements and interest rates, and the loose monetary policy is conducive to the development of the industry. The “two new and one heavy” construction is expected to increase, and the infrastructure investment is moderately ahead of schedule, which is worth looking forward to.
The construction industry actively embraces the “new economy” and actively layout Shenzhen New Industries Biomedical Engineering Co.Ltd(300832) . BIPV, energy storage and carbon sequestration have become the key areas of 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 to help 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.
On the whole, the construction industry has both “white horse” with good performance and extremely low valuation, and “dark horse” with layout of “building +” and standing at the market outlet. The overall trend of the industry is good, with fundamental support and policy catalysis. In addition, the “building +” helps to improve the valuation and is optimistic about the overall trend of the construction industry in 2022.
Suggestions on medium and long-term configuration
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. The newly signed orders and performance are bright, and the valuation advantage is very significant. It is suggested to pay attention to China State Construction Engineering Corporation Limited(601668) , China Communications Construction Company Limited(601800) , China Railway Construction Corporation Limited(601186) , Metallurgical Corporation Of China Ltd(601618) and other central construction enterprises and Shandong Hi-Speed Road&Bridge Co.Ltd(000498) , Anhui Construction Engineering Group Corporation Limited(600502) and other regional infrastructure leaders.
