Everbright Securities research recommends focusing on construction companies with a high proportion of infrastructure business and a long accounts receivable aging.
Zhixun Finance and Economics APP learned that tianfeng Securities released research reports stating that with special bond funds support, infrastructure investment is expected to accelerate in the fourth quarter, but the revenue and net income growth of the construction sector are under significant pressure. It is estimated that in 2024, the broad/narrow infrastructure growth rates will be 7.88%/5.27% respectively, with clear structural and regional features. Real demand-driven water conservancy investment, railroads and aviation, and other major transportation construction areas, as well as urban comprehensive pipe corridors, have relatively high certainty. Infrastructure investment in economically developed regions continues to grow at a high rate. Investors are advised to pay attention to three main investment opportunities.
1) Trend one: Optimizing the supply and demand structure, central state-owned enterprises focusing on high-quality development;
2) Trend two: Layout around the new quality productivity direction, focusing on subdivided high-prosperity pathways;
3) Trend three: Focusing on overseas high-prosperity regions, paying particular attention to the high-quality international engineering sector going overseas.
