A-share Research Highlights Summary (June 1, 2016)
Core Content
This document provides a detailed analysis of the A-share market trends and investment opportunities as of June 1, 2016. It discusses the historical "Sell in May" effect and its potential impact on the market in June 2016. Additionally, it includes key economic data, company events, and research coverage for various sectors.
Main Points
1. Empirical Study of "Sell in May" Effect
- Historical Performance: Over the 13 years from 2003 to 2015, the A-share market had a negative cumulative return for 5 to 6 years out of 10, with a high probability of decline ($77%$).
- Strategy Impact: If one adopts a short-selling strategy in May and June, the yield from investing in the Shanghai Composite Index could reach $200%$.
- Reason for May/June Decline: The decline is attributed to the establishment of CBRC and industry guidelines, which caused banks to rush for deposits at the end of the quarter, tightening liquidity. Additionally, 1Q bank credits were abundant, and the Two Sessions in March set the tone for the economy.
2. Changes in Bank Appraisal System
- The old logic of liquidity pressure due to the end of the quarter no longer applies.
- However, there are new risks to be aware of in June 2016.
3. Key Risks for June 2016
- Regulatory Tightening: The investment scale of bank funds through the channel business of securities companies, fund houses, and subsidiary companies has grown. This could lead to adverse effects on the bond and stock markets if regulation tightens.
- US Fed Rate Hikes: The probability of US Fed rate hikes in June and July has sharply increased. The Fed's hawkish stance is becoming more evident.
- Brexit Impact: Brexit has become a "black swan" event affecting the USD trend in June.
- Capital Outflows: June will be the peak of capital outflows for incremental funding and IPOs, increasing market pressure.
4. Investment Opportunities
- MSCI Inclusion: The probability of including A-shares in the MSCI index this year has increased significantly, potentially boosting the financial sector in the short term.
- Financial Sector: The inclusion could bring RMB600 billion of incremental funding to chase RMB2 trillion of "free float" market capitalization over the next 5 to 7 years, possibly improving market sentiment.
