Investment strategy
In terms of construction machinery, according to the data of China Construction Machinery Industry Association, 24534 excavators of various types were sold in April 2022, a year-on-year decrease of 47.3%, and the decline was narrowed. From January to April 2022, 101709 excavators were sold, a year-on-year decrease of 41.4%. We believe that the policy has repeatedly emphasized the comprehensive strengthening of infrastructure construction. With the gradual normalization of epidemic control and the commencement of major projects, the sales data of construction machinery in the second quarter is expected to narrow significantly. In this expectation, it is suggested to focus on the leading manufacturers of construction machinery Sany Heavy Industry Co.Ltd(600031) ( Sany Heavy Industry Co.Ltd(600031) ), Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science And Technology Co.Ltd(000157) ( Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science And Technology Co.Ltd(000157) ), and the manufacturer of core parts Jiangsu Hengli Hydraulic Co.Ltd(601100) ( Jiangsu Hengli Hydraulic Co.Ltd(601100) ).
In terms of photovoltaic equipment, the government work report of the two sessions changed the expression of carbon peak from “doing a solid job” to “orderly promotion” in 2021, and proposed that the energy consumption intensity target should be comprehensively assessed within the 14th Five Year Plan period, with appropriate flexibility. The new renewable energy and raw material energy consumption should not be included in the total energy consumption control. This will accelerate the transformation of China’s clean energy economy and alleviate the constraints of traditional energy consumption.
Risk warning: risk of epidemic spread; The macroeconomic growth rate is lower than expected; Raw material price fluctuation risk.
