Optical Modules and New Energy Surge, Led by Zhongji Innolight's 5% Rally; Dual-innovation Leaders ETF (588330) Gains 1.3%

Deep News11-19

Today (November 19), the technology self-sufficiency sector showed strong momentum, with the Dual-innovation Leaders ETF (588330), which fully allocates to high-quality productive forces, rising 1.36% in intraday trading.

Breaking it down by sector, the top three optical module companies led the charge: Zhongji Innolight Co.,Ltd. surged over 5%, while New East and TFC climbed more than 3% and 2%, respectively. The new energy sector also performed well, with CATL up over 2%, and Eve Energy and Sungrow rising more than 1%.

On the policy front, the new five-year plan emphasizes technological self-reliance. China Securities Co., Ltd. highlighted that "new quality productive forces" have been included in the planning framework for the first time. Zheshang Securities noted that under the priority of high-quality development, accelerating high-level technological self-reliance and fostering new productive forces will be the top policy focus.

Galaxy Securities pointed out that developing new productive forces is a key task during the five-year plan period, as China accelerates the shift from old to new growth drivers. Amid rising external uncertainties, the urgency for technological self-sufficiency is increasing, making tech investments a strategic priority aligned with national security. Companies with genuine technological barriers and alignment with national strategies may become a major investment theme in A-shares under the new five-year plan. Industries related to new productive forces are expected to achieve breakthroughs and rapid growth, driving both valuation and earnings expansion.

SWS Research believes that A-shares' sustainable breakthrough ultimately depends on technology leadership. Guosen Securities noted that during rapid market rallies, leading sectors often emerge from dominant industries—such as "Internet+" in early 2015 and new energy vehicles in 2021. Looking ahead, the tech sector remains a favored investment theme.
