According to the news, on November 15, the Securities Regulatory Commission issued market value management guidelines, making special requirements for formulating market value management systems for major index constituent stocks and disclosing valuation improvement plans for long-term broken companies. Caixin Securities believes that at present, A-share companies that have broken clean for a long time are mainly concentrated in six traditional industries, including banking, non-banking, real estate, steel, construction, and transportation. With the implementation of new market value management regulations, it is expected that these industries will have some room for valuation repair.
Huachuang Securities pointed out that although the industry's profits are poor recently, benefiting from the results of supply-side reforms in 2016, most steel companies have excellent indicators such as balance ratio, available cash, and undistributed profit, and stock prices are clearly undervalued; the steel sector is concentrated, and many broken companies actively maintain market value; the Securities Regulatory Commission has issued market value management guidelines for listed companies, and many companies have issued or implemented repurchase plans to actively maintain market value; the steel industry is about to usher in a reversal inflection point. The largest debt and real estate support policies in history have been introduced one after another, and downstream demand will improve markedly. In the first three years, industry profits continued to decline, small and medium-sized enterprises began to clear out, and the industry pattern continued to be optimized. Supply and demand are gaining strength at the same time, and an inflection point is about to appear.
