The humanoid robotics industry, which gained widespread attention during the Spring Festival Gala, has reinforced market expectations for a post-holiday tech rally. According to Huajin Securities, over the past decade, technology and growth sectors have typically outperformed in the five or ten trading days following the Lunar New Year. Specifically, the industries with the most frequent top-three gains in the first five trading days include computer (5 times), electronics (4 times), communications (3 times), and media (3 times). Technology and growth sectors also dominated the top performers in the first ten trading days after the holiday.
Institutions are broadly optimistic about three main themes: the technology and growth sector, focusing on AI, robotics, and memory chips. Huachuang Securities believes that intensive industry catalysts during the holiday period could lead the technology sector to rally first. Shenwan Hongyuan similarly recommends robotics, large-scale AI models, and AI applications as key short-term structural opportunities. Galaxy Securities also notes that robotics and large-scale AI models may present structural highlights after the holiday.
