According to the news, on November 5, the Air Force organized a press conference in Beijing to present information about celebrating the 75th anniversary of the Air Force's founding and participating in the 15th China Air Show. According to Colonel Niu Wenbo of the Air Force Equipment Department, the J-35A medium stealth multi-purpose fighter will also have the opportunity to meet everyone during the 15th China Air Show. Furthermore, military expert Li Li said that the unveiling of the J-35A means that the Chinese Air Force will have two stealth fighter jets at the same time — the J-20 and the J-35A. This is the second country in the world to be equipped with two stealth fighters at the same time after the US Air Force is equipped with the F-22 and F-35.
CITIC Construction Investment Securities believes that the military industry is currently at the bottom of the triple sector's valuation, performance growth rate, and capital allocation, and has significant investment value. The bank said that with the gradual implementation of military personnel adjustments and related system reforms, orders for the second half of the “14th Five-Year Plan” are expected to be gradually issued, and the backlog is compounded by new demand. The growth rate of industry orders and performance is expected to rise steadily in 2024, or the second round of structural recovery may begin. Furthermore, Everbright Securities said that with the implementation of industry events such as the newly revised “Military Audit Regulations” and related work arrangements for the development of related industrial chains at the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee, the sector's attention is expected to rise in a phased manner.
