[Zhou viewpoint]

The government work report further strengthens the expectation of steady growth, and the force of infrastructure investment is still an important starting point. In the first half of the year, it is expected that the supporting policies are expected to be intensively introduced. Recently, the six ministries and commissions have actively stated to stabilize the real estate, and the relaxation of the real estate margin can still be expected. With the fall of medium-term structural credit, the countercyclical demand represented by cement is expected to stabilize and recover, supporting the quarterly profit center. The supply side may maintain strict constraints on normalization, medium and long-term favorable sector profit expectations and valuation repair. In the follow-up, we can pay attention to the marginal change of demand and the catalysis of macro policies. Cement and consumer building materials are recommended.

1. Cement sector: broad credit and steady growth are expected to continue to increase, which is expected to benefit. In the short term, due to the impact of epidemic control on the recovery of demand, the stable growth of credit is expected to rise in the medium term. With the increase of downward pressure on the economy, the growth rate of new real estate construction, construction and sales continues to be under pressure. In the first half of the year, the issuance speed of special bonds is expected to be further accelerated, and the rising momentum of infrastructure chain is expected to be strengthened. Under the structural wide credit, the cement demand is expected to start the stabilization and recovery cycle, which will support the cement price center in the medium term to be higher than that in the same period of previous years. At present, the relative valuations of sector price book ratio and P / E ratio are still at a historically low level, and the industry valuation is also expected to be repaired. Recommend Huaxin Cement Co.Ltd(600801) , Anhui Conch Cement Company Limited(600585) and Gansu Shangfeng Cement Co.Ltd(000672) with strong performance certainty and bright spots in the extension of medium and long-term industrial chain. The medium and long-term recommendation is expected to benefit from the market integration in Northeast and North China and Tangshan Jidong Cement Co.Ltd(000401) with great business elasticity.

2. Glass sector: the demand is weak and the price has dropped. The subsequent demand and downstream orders still need to be observed. At present, the glass demand has been affected by factors such as the real estate capital chain and the epidemic situation, and the recovery is slow. The price has dropped somewhat, and the manufacturer’s inventory has increased. The subsequent price side performance needs to be driven by terminal demand or supply side factors. From a medium-term perspective, the glass supply side has entered a new stage and is expected to replicate the profit curve of the cement industry after 2018. With the strong constraint on the total supply after the tightening of industrial policy constraints, the supply side of float glass has gradually transitioned to a stage similar to that after 2017. The medium and long-term supply and demand of the industry has maintained a tight balance. In the stock competition, the boom center of the industry is expected to be significantly improved, and the volatility is expected to be significantly improved. Medium and long-term environmental protection will reshape the industry cost curve. The increase in the fuel cost of the original coal-fired production line in the north from coal to gas is good for the price center of the southern market. Resources are the main source of long-term excess profits, and large enterprises and high-quality production capacity benefit. Recommend Zhuzhou Kibing Group Co.Ltd(601636) (deep processing, electronics, medicine, photovoltaic glass and other industrial chain extension is quite bright, with high dividend rate), Csg Holding Co.Ltd(000012) (photovoltaic glass expands vigorously, electronic glass ushers in a breakthrough), and pay attention to Shandong Jinjing Science And Technology Stock Co.Ltd(600586) .

In terms of consumer building materials, the new construction and sales of short-term real estate remain weak, and the investment side remains resilient. In the first half of the year, it is expected that the pressure on the demand side will still be reflected. On the profit side, the high price pressure of upstream raw materials is still testing the profitability, but the price transmission and product structure adjustment are expected to hedge some of the impact; At the valuation level, most consumer building materials targets are already in the lower limit of the historical valuation range, and the valuation repair needs to continue to track the marginal changes of policies. Recently, the six ministries and commissions have actively stated to stabilize the real estate, and the real estate policy is expected to be phased marginal easing under the tone of maintaining stability, paying attention to the opportunities for valuation repair of building materials in the post real estate cycle; It is suggested to pay attention to 1) the leaders of engineering building materials with growth, especially the companies that have established the small b customer development and multi category sales system of sinking market. Core recommendations Guangdong Kinlong Hardware Products Co.Ltd(002791) , Beijing Oriental Yuhong Waterproof Technology Co.Ltd(002271) ; It is also recommended to pay attention to the subdivided leading enterprises with strong growth flexibility and whose valuation has been at the lower limit of the historical range, and recommend Keshun Waterproof Technologies Co.Ltd(300737) , Monalisa Group Co.Ltd(002918) , Jiangsu Canlon Building Materials Co.Ltd(300715) ; It is recommended that Zhejiang Weixing New Building Materials Co.Ltd(002372) .
