Kaiyuan Securities believes the worst phase of pricing may be passing and suggests investors can begin to cautiously position for a recovery, though not overly aggressively. The firm maintains that technology and growth sectors remain the most critical direction to watch.

Kaiyuan Securities recommends investors focus on three main themes: growth remains the strongest trend, with emphasis on power capital (electrical equipment, energy metals), computing capital (memory, semiconductors, robotics, liquid cooling), platform applications (Hong Kong internet stocks), and innovative pharmaceuticals; the firm highlights that high-dividend stocks may perform better in 2026 than in 2025, suggesting attention to coal, insurance, media, petrochemicals, and transportation sectors; and finally, monitoring "option" type opportunities following a potential bottom in real estate prices, such as the recovery in discretionary consumption and service-oriented consumption driven by stabilized balance sheets (including high-end commercial properties, outdoor sports, tourism, hotels, and dining).
