Zhou's view: the central bank issued 23 anti epidemic financial measures to provide advanced support to real estate, urban investment and construction enterprises. In March, infrastructure continued to rise. Although the downward trend of real estate has not been reversed, the positive effects are accumulating. From the perspective of Zhengzhou, which relaxed significantly earlier, the transaction data has not been significantly reflected, and the forward-looking indicators such as the volume of views have been significantly improved. We believe that due to the impact of the epidemic and inflation, the recovery of fundamentals may be slow and tortuous, but the gradual recovery of performance growth in the next four quarters is a high probability. As a core variety in the investment chain, building materials need more attention, whether it is cyclical or growing. It is recommended to pay attention to Beijing Oriental Yuhong Waterproof Technology Co.Ltd(002271)
In terms of bulk building materials: the economic data in March showed that the power of infrastructure began to transmit to the physical demand for building materials, and there is expected to be significant room for improvement in the follow-up. However, the current recovery of infrastructure is difficult to offset the impact of the real estate downturn and the epidemic. The restriction of the epidemic on the construction rhythm is expected to make the demand more concentrated in the third and fourth quarters. It is expected that with the mitigation of the epidemic, the implementation of infrastructure projects will contribute to the physical demand. The markets along the Yangtze River and the Pearl River Delta with high core capacity utilization and good industry pattern are expected to take the lead in seeing the cement price elasticity that exceeds the expectation. Industry self-discipline + potential environmental protection and energy consumption constraints shrink the supply capacity of the industry. In the medium term, the capacity utilization rate of the industry is expected to remain high, and the profit center will remain medium to high. The dividend yield of 5 ~ 8% in 2021 makes the current valuation of 7 times P / E ratio have room for repair. It is suggested to focus on 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, and Tangshan Jidong Cement Co.Ltd(000401) , Xinjiang Tianshan Cement Co.Ltd(000877) , Gansu Qilianshan Cement Group Co.Ltd(600720) , etc. that benefit from the integration of northern market and great business elasticity in the medium and long term.
Decoration building materials: previously, the valuation of the decoration building materials sector has been in the lower position of the historical center due to the impact of slowing demand, rising raw materials and cash flow pressure. Since March, waterproof material enterprises have intensively issued price raising letters for the recent sharp rise in raw material prices, which is expected to be reflected in Q2. Although most enterprises' shipments are affected by the short-term epidemic, some front-line leading enterprises have a high order growth rate. With the expectation of marginal relaxation of real estate, the decline of high raw material costs, the implementation of price transmission, the withdrawal of bad debts and the gradual release of cash flow risk expectations, the overall sector is expected to usher in performance and valuation repair. Referring to the historical experience of the consumer building materials sector and the current competitive situation, in the stage of capital easing + confidence gradually recovering from the bottom of the real estate industry, some companies may take the lead to further increase their share and enter a new expansion cycle with the help of channel leading layout, operating efficiency advantage or financing plus leverage. The inflection point of shipment or order growth can be used as a signal on the right. Focus on Guangdong Kinlong Hardware Products Co.Ltd(002791) , Beijing Oriental Yuhong Waterproof Technology Co.Ltd(002271) , Keshun Waterproof Technologies Co.Ltd(300737) , Beijing New Building Materials Public Limited Company(000786) , Zhejiang Weixing New Building Materials Co.Ltd(002372) , China Liansu, ad shares, Monalisa Group Co.Ltd(002918) , Jiangsu Canlon Building Materials Co.Ltd(300715) , Zhejiang Walrus New Material Co.Ltd(003011) , etc.
Risk warning: the epidemic situation exceeded expectations, the real estate credit risk was out of control, and the policy concentration exceeded expectations.
