Stock News06-29 15:14

Shares of home appliance companies have extended their gains.

At the time of writing, HISENSE HA (00921) is up 8.14% to HK$26.58, MIDEA GROUP (00300) has risen 4.6% to HK$84.05, HAIER SMARTHOME (06690) has gained 3.45% to HK$20.38, and JS GLOBAL LIFE (01691) is up 2.31% to HK$1.33.

On the news front, data from the EU's climate monitoring agency shows that maximum temperatures in countries like Spain, France, and Germany have exceeded 40°C, with some areas approaching the historical extreme of 45°C.

According to the International Energy Agency, the overall ownership rate of air conditioning equipment in Europe is only about 20%.

The extreme heatwave has led to a surge in demand for air conditioners, with some channels for Midea's PortaSplit air conditioners already sold out, and related reports trending online.

Furthermore, recently, the National Development and Reform Commission, in conjunction with the Ministry of Finance, has allocated 62.5 billion yuan in ultra-long-term special treasury bonds to local governments to support the consumer goods trade-in program.

Analysts at Soochow Securities note that this policy is expected to provide demand support for home appliances, automobiles, consumer electronics, smart wearables, and related component companies.
