infrastructure investment at a certain pace by

keeping projects in progress and fortifying

weak sectors. Among SOEs, leading developers,

power generators, railway and engineering

operators may present meaningful opportunities

for investors in the short term.

Market strategy:

Sectors that were prev ious l y

believed to enjoy meaningfully

visible growth prospects are now –

to varying degrees – coming under

adverse macro pressure. These

include delivery, online booking,

property advertising and some giant

online retai l operators . As such,

look ing for high -growth shares

means looking for businesses that

have the least to do with macro

volatility. A retrospective study of

performances of sub-sectors and

their leaders in the two quarters prior

to the earnings bottom in three past

cycles shows that the following three

types of industries are better able

to withstand fluctuation when the

macro down-cycle nears the end: (i)

Sectors that are not highly cyclical in

nature; (ii) sectors whose own cycles

run independently from the macro

cycle; and (iii) sectors in the midst of

rapid penetration or scale expansion.

Based on 3Q18 result s and the

v iews of our indust r y analys t s ,

we recommend sectors boasting

relatively strong resilience over the

next 2-3 quarters: healthcare and

pharmaceuticals, defense, agriculture,

oilfield services, cloud computation,

enterprise IT services, 5G, duty-free

commerce, the new-energy industry

chain, health products within the

F&B sector and short-shelf-life bread/

pastry bakery.

Policymakers are endeavoring

t o s u s t a i n t h e g r o w t h o f

infrastructure investment at a certain

rate by supporting projects under

construct ion and strengthening

weak links. As personal mortgage

rates peak, investors may keep a

close watch on marginal pol icy

changes for the real estate industry,

as downstream segments along

this value chain diverge in terms of

business climate. Leading developers,

power generators, railway operators

and cons t r uc t ion f i r ms a t t he

central SOE level could present

remarkable oppor tuni t ies over

the short horizon, while property

management, water-proof material,

logistics and airport segments look

to promising long-term prospects. By

contrast, the fundamentals of other

infrastructure/property-related sub-

sectors (including environmental

protection, aviation and small/mid-

sized developers) are still murky.

Market Review: On Monday, the

Shanghai and Shenzhen stock bourses

opened low. The broad market decline

steepened in the afternoon but eased

towards the end as brokerages and

insurers advanced. The Shanghai

Composite Index (SCI) closed off 0.41%.

On Tuesday, the two markets started

high to a weakening session. The

Shanghai gauge slipped 0.23%. On

Wednesday, the two exchanges jolted

upward in the morning and pulled

back after lunch. The SCI shed 0.68%.

On Thursday, both markets opened

high to hover at elevated levels before

heading south in the afternoon. The

SCI edged down 0.22%. On Friday,

the markets began from low and

remained uninspired, with the SCI

logging a 1.39% loss at the finish. In

the week, CITIC/S&P 50 and CITIC/S&P

300 fell 4.4% and 3.6%, respectively.

Technical analysis: The technical

trends of CITIC/S&P 50 and CITIC/

S&P 300 softened, leaving the two

stock gauges lingering near the bull-

bear border. The pair are expected to

fluctuate and consolidate in the near

term.

BYD (002594 CH) has sped up the

launch of new models since the

start of 3Q18. In the short-to-medium

term, the new-energy vehicle industry

is a rare sector that its high season falls

in the second half of the year. Kicking

of f a new cycle, the Company could

see sales volume hitting new records,

bringing about considerable earnings

improvement. We expect it to report

markedly buoyant performances going

forward. In the long run, the strategy

to neutralize power battery production

could open up room for future growth.

The advance of BYD’s

product ion process and market ing

channels. The sector will bottom out in

the short term and its long-term prospects

appear upbeat. The launch of FMD OA

bivalent vaccine is helping the Company

to regain market share. Meanwhile, the

Company has built a tiered matrix of

non-compulsory swine vaccines as it

picks up the pace

to transform into a

leading player in the

The infrastructure sector as a whole

has come under pressure due to

multiple factors, including deleveraging,

slowing investment and PPP regulations.

Su b - s e c to r s f a re d i f f e re n t l y, w i t h

private firms seeing their fundamentals

deteriorate more quickly than their SOE

peers. Given such positives as (i) concrete

measures to fortify weak links and sustain

progress at in-construction projects, (ii)

stabilizing financing and (iii) expectations

of an infrastructure investment rebound,

we believe the sector will bottom up

soon. As it takes time for loan recovery to

materialize at the company-level, central

SOEs in the construction industry are

likely to be ahead of others in getting

the benefits of increased financing. We

recommend those SOEs

(Index)

GDP ►China posted 3Q18 GDP growth of

6.5% YoY, below the 6.7% f igure in

2Q18 and the lowest since the global

f inancial crisis in 2008. The National

Bureau of Statistics pointed to a sharp

increase in the number of challenging

externali t ies and continuing pains

f rom China’s restructuring ef for t s .

The economy is decelerating steadily

as downward pressure mounts. The

market forecasts full-year 2018E GDP

growth to be 6.6% YoY.

Import and Export ►In Oct 2018, China saw its exports and imports increase respectively 15.6% and 21.4% YoY in value terms, far exceeding market consensus. We believe the export spike was mainly due to a low base and the race to sell ahead of the imposition of the trade war-triggered higher tarif fs . However, the surge did not stem directly from trading between China and the US. It was possibly the result of a short-term and overall expansion on the back of exports to or through surrounding regions (such as Hong Kong). The market forecasts full-year 2018E exports and imports will advance 10.0% and 17.7% YoY, respectively.

◄ Manufacturing PMI

China’s manufacturing PMI came to 50.2

in Oct 2018, down 0.6 MoM. Growth

slackened and pressure on the economy

is emerging. We foresee the economy

remain depressed over the next few

months. Expansionary policies need to be

stepped up further.

◄ CPI and PPI

China’s CPI ticked up 2.5% YoY in Oct 2018,

flat MoM; PPI climbed 3.3% YoY, the weakest

growth in seven months, with the Sep

reading being 3.6%. The market expects

2018E CPI and PPI to rise 2.2% and 3.5% YoY,

respectively.

(YoY %)

Value Added of Industry ►China’s industrial value-added rose 5.8%

YoY in Sep 2018, falling short of the 6%

estimate and the 6.1% growth in the

previous month. The market forecasts

full-year 2018E industrial value-added to

expand 6.3% YoY.

Monthly Supply M1 & M2 ►China’s M2 growth in Sep 2018 came to

8.3% YoY, relative to the 8.1% estimate

and 8.2% reading in the previous month;

M1 expanded 4.0% YoY. The pace of M2

accelerated, in line with our prediction

that M2 growth would remain steady.

The market foresee M2 advance 8.5% YoY

in 2018E.

◄ Retail Sales Value

Total retail sales in China picked up for

the second straight month in Sep 2018.

The 9.2% YoY growth beat consensus

and the 9% YoY reading in Aug 2018.

Retail sales in the first nine months of the

year climbed 9.3% YoY, flat over estimates

and the year-ago period. The market

projects full-year 2018E retail sales value

to advance circa 9.4% YoY.

◄ CNY Monthly New Loan

China saw tot a l loans expand by

Rmb1.38t r in Sep 2018 , up about

Rmb100bn MoM and Rmb110bn YoY.

The loan scale remained decent, given

the heavy lending in the previous period

and concentrated loan securitization

and write-off during the month (tallying

Rmb90bn more than that in Sep 2017).

Structurally speaking, new loans still

favor low-risk and high-yielding assets.
