After the correction since the beginning of the year, the industry valuation has fallen sharply. For the current industry fundamentals, the industry valuation is underestimated, and there has been a deviation between the fundamentals and the valuation. At the same time, the countercyclical attribute of the industry is prominent, and the performance is less affected by the macro environment.
