Deep News12-30 09:53

On the morning of December 30, the ChiNext artificial intelligence sector opened higher and surged, with AI application concept stocks leading the gains. Hand Information and BlueFocus Communication led the rise, each gaining over 5%, while Easyhome, Kunlun Tech, Mango Excellent Media, and several other stocks rose more than 2%. Among popular ETFs, the ChiNext Artificial Intelligence ETF (159363), which offers the best liquidity in its category, rose over 1% during the session, approaching its previous high.

The catalyst came from news that Meta has acquired Butterfly Effect, the company developing the AI application Manus, for tens of billions of dollars. This acquisition ranks as Meta's third-largest since its founding, surpassed in cost only by the acquisitions of WhatsApp and Scale AI. Prior to the acquisition by Meta, Manus was in the process of a new funding round with a valuation of $20 billion. Huafu Securities stated that major AI companies are currently actively making strategic moves and expressed optimism regarding an impending boom in the domestic Chinese AI application sector.

Regarding computing power, Industrial Securities indicated that overseas computing power is expected to enter a new "in-flight refueling" phase by 2026. The pace of investment in computing power infrastructure has not slowed and is expected to achieve accelerated growth on top of the high growth seen over the past three years. There may be an expectation gap concerning optical modules and their supporting industrial chain. The Blackwell architecture is pushing data centers into an "accelerated realization period," progress on Rubin is smooth, 1.6T optical modules are expected to become the primary demand driver next year, and leading companies are anticipated to maintain high earnings growth next year.

To capture opportunities in the computing power sector, centered on optical modules, and in AI applications, it is recommended to focus on the market's first ChiNext Artificial Intelligence ETF (159363) and its off-exchange counterparts (Class A: 023407, Class C: 023408). The underlying index heavily weights leading optical module companies like Yizhongtian, with the latest optical module weighting exceeding 56%. In terms of sector allocation, over 70% of the portfolio is allocated to computing power, and over 20% to AI applications, enabling efficient capture of AI thematic trends.
