Key takeaway
Against the backdrop of an index retreat on lighter turnover, Juji Longhubang believes short-term sentiment is recovering, with robotics, intelligent driving and consumer stocks emerging as the main areas of buying interest.
Why is short-term sentiment recovering despite the index retreat?
On the morning of 27 October, the indices opened higher before fluctuating lower, with the ChiNext Index relatively weak. Trading volume continued to shrink from the previous session, and Juji Longhubang expects full-day turnover to be less than 1.5 trillion yuan.
The indices retreated only modestly. The report says market-support funds have yet to step in with purchases and remain focused on stabilizing the market and providing a floor. Meanwhile, the number of stocks hitting their daily lower limits fell sharply, popular crowded high-priced stocks stopped making catch-up declines, and speculative sentiment warmed markedly.
Although technology stocks opened higher and then retreated, stocks within the sector are no longer moving up and down in unison. The report sees this as a positive signal and expects the sector may stop falling soon without relying on market-support funds. Defensive dividend stocks continue to hold an important place.
Where do robotics and intelligent driving stand?
The robotics sector remained strong amid divergence. The widely expected sharp divergence did not materialize, and its strength was slightly above Juji Longhubang's expectations. High-priced stocks are currently moving sideways while lower-priced stocks are playing catch-up; the report judges that a second wave of gains is highly likely.
Interest in intelligent driving is gradually spreading. On the news front, mandatory installation of C-V2X in vehicles has been put on the agenda. For now, the report views intelligent driving as a branch of physical AI speculation, ranking slightly below robotics but not far behind.
What is driving consumer stocks and vehicle-road coordination?
Consumer stocks also performed better than expected. Juji Longhubang believes that, besides the Double Eleven shopping festival catalyst, Shanghai Jiubai's leadership in a sector-wide advance was the main reason. In a weak market, a leading stock lifting its sector is more likely to attract capital.
In vehicle-road coordination, the report believes that once mandatory factory installation of on-board units (OBUs) in vehicles is implemented, it will drive expansion of roadside units (RSUs) and edge computing equipment. Related equipment developed in-house by Beijing Qianfang Technology has already been deployed in demonstration zones including Beijing's Yizhuang and Wangjing. The equipment required for Beijing's 4.586 billion yuan batch tender for integrated vehicle-road-cloud systems also includes the company's core product categories.
