Sichuan caizhou viewpoint

In the first quarter, the economy started smoothly, the Yangtze River Delta resumed work and production, and the plight of key industries is expected to reverse. According to the national economic data released by the Bureau of statistics in the first quarter, China’s GDP was 270178 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 4.8% at constant prices, the national fixed asset investment (excluding farmers) was 104872 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 9.3%, and infrastructure investment (excluding power, heat, gas and water production and supply industries) increased by 8.5% year-on-year. Among them, investment in water conservancy management increased by 10.0%, investment in public facilities management increased by 8.1%, investment in road transportation increased by 3.6%, and investment in railway transportation decreased by 2.9%. On the whole, the economy started smoothly in the first quarter, but the economic production of some provinces and cities was greatly affected by the epidemic, especially in the Yangtze River Delta. At present, the resumption of work and production in Shanghai has been promoted in an orderly manner, ensuring the stable production of key enterprises and the smooth operation of key industrial chains, actively, steadily and orderly promoting the resumption of work and production of key enterprises, concentrating resources and giving priority to ensuring the resumption of work and production of key industries such as automobile manufacturing, integrated circuit, consumer electronics, equipment manufacturing, material and food, biological medicine and so on. In the context of orderly resumption of work and production, we believe that listed companies in high-end manufacturing industries in the Yangtze River Delta have the logic of dilemma reversal and superimpose the long-term main line of digital infrastructure. It is suggested to pay attention to the direction of optical modules, optical fibers and optical cables, industrial interconnection and other related targets: Broadex Technologies Co.Ltd(300548) , Jiangsu Zhongtian Technology Co.Ltd(600522) , Shanghai Baosight Software Co.Ltd(600845) , etc. In addition, the later stage of major construction projects is expected to usher in centralized construction, benefiting the traditional infrastructure and related industrial chains. In 2022, there were 173 major construction projects in Shanghai, including 67 in science and technology industry, 24 in social livelihood, 17 in ecological civilization construction, 56 in urban infrastructure, and 9 in urban-rural integration and Rural Revitalization. Among these major projects, industrial parks and transportation projects account for a large proportion, and the infrastructure engineering sector will directly benefit. It is suggested to focus on the direction of rail transit equipment, and the relevant targets: Shanghai Tunnel Engineering Co.Ltd(600820) , Hongrun Construction Group Co.Ltd(002062) . Ordinary steel, cement and other building materials are also expected to be driven. According to the data recently released by the Bureau of statistics, in the first quarter, the cement output decreased by 12.1%, the pig iron output decreased by 11%, the crude steel output decreased by 10.5% and the steel output decreased by 5.9% year-on-year. We expect that there will be a concentrated outbreak of demand for building materials at the end of the second quarter, and the price and sales volume of building materials are expected to rise. Relevant targets: Hunan Valin Steel Co.Ltd(000932) , Baoshan Iron & Steel Co.Ltd(600019) , Anhui Conch Cement Company Limited(600585) , etc.
