A-share major indices staged a collective comeback on Friday (September 5)! By the close, the Shanghai Composite Index gained 1.24%, the Shenzhen Component Index rose 3.89%, and the ChiNext Index surged 6.55%. The total trading volume of Shanghai and Shenzhen markets reached 2.3047 trillion yuan for the day.
On the sector front, technology growth sectors emerged strongly, with ChiNext and STAR Market boards soaring together. The dual innovation ETF (588330), a broad-based tech index covering high-growth leaders from both boards, saw its intraday price spike 7.15%. The ChiNext AI ETF (159363) rose steadily throughout the day, closing up 6.31% and recovering above the 10-day moving average. The pharmaceutical sector regained momentum, with A-H shares resonating in tandem. Innovative drugs once again led the charge, with the Pharmaceutical ETF (562050) surging 3.36% to a new historical closing high. The HK-Listed Biotech ETF (520880) advanced throughout the day, soaring 4.52% to close at daily highs.
KaiYuan Securities noted that from the perspectives of profit cycles, capital flows, and industry logic, this bull market has long-term supporting factors: (1) Profit and economic cycles are about to bottom out: PPI may see a reversal, with the profit bottom likely to arrive within 2-3 quarters; (2) Capital flow support: Central Huijin has built market confidence, and medium to long-term patient capital has been established; (3) Bottom-up industry logic drives breakthroughs: Technology stocks show relative profit advantages, with frequent positive signals at the industry level.
However, the excessively steep short-term rise slope tends to amplify market volatility. Therefore, traders should not be impatient at the operational level, should maintain composure and a slow bull mentality, with structure being more important - "going slowly leads to faster progress." Looking ahead, the index center is expected to move further upward, and the growth momentum of total market capitalization in both markets is expected to continue.
Regarding specific allocation, CaiTong Strategy indicates that increased capital divergence and reduced market volatility may increase operational difficulty for front-runner hot sectors. Before new catalysts bring positive microstructural liquidity feedback, it's beneficial to dig into "simple problems" in subdivided sectors and moderately pursue "high-low switching" toward sectors with upward momentum trends for smoother net value curves: (1) Leading positioning - anti-involution + supply clearing; (2) Domestic substitution & globalization - AI wave + innovative drug overseas expansion.
**ETF Spotlight Review** Below we focus on the trading and fundamental situations of several industry-themed ETFs including dual innovation leaders, ChiNext AI, and pharmaceuticals.
**1. Advanced Intelligence Ignites, Solid-State Batteries Soar! Dual Innovation ETF (588330) Surges 7%! Tech Strongly Emerges, Why Layout Through Broad-Based Indices?**
Technology growth sectors emerged strongly! ChiNext and STAR Market boards soared together, with the broad-based tech index covering high-growth leaders from both boards - the Dual Innovation ETF (588330) - seeing its intraday price spike 7.15%, with full-day trading volume reaching 102 million yuan, showing active trading!
Looking at specific sectors, power equipment led both markets, with Advanced Intelligent Equipment hitting the 20CM daily limit, Jingsheng Mechanical rising over 18%, and Sungrow Power Supply and EVE Energy gaining over 16%. The three optical module giants also delivered impressive performances, with Eoptolink rising over 11%, INNOLIGHT gaining over 10%, and T&S Communications rising over 7%.
On the news front, the solid-state battery explosion may be related to a response from Advanced Intelligent Equipment. On September 4, Advanced Intelligent Equipment stated on the interactive platform that in the solid-state battery field, the company, as a service provider with complete proprietary intellectual property rights for all-solid-state battery complete line solutions, has successfully connected all process links for all-solid-state battery mass production.
Policy-wise, the "Electronic Information Manufacturing Industry 2025-2026 Stable Growth Action Plan" issued on September 4 proposed achieving high-quality development in photovoltaic and other fields by eliminating "involutionary" competition, and legally governing low-price competition in photovoltaic and other products. It guides orderly local layout of photovoltaic and lithium battery industries and instructs localities to sort out capacity situations.
CICC points out that the development trend of solid-state batteries is clear. As pilot production lines of leading manufacturers gradually land in 2025, mass production line construction will continue to break through in 2026. The solid-state battery industry chain is expected to launch a main trend, with related battery, material, and equipment manufacturers likely to welcome upward slope investment opportunities. Huatai Securities states that improving demand plus "anti-involution" supports prices, optimistic about the lithium battery industry chain achieving both volume and profit growth.
Notably, the Dual Innovation ETF (588330) target index gathers high-growth leaders from STAR Market and ChiNext boards, showing high elasticity characteristics in this round of market activity, leading broad-based indices! The index has cumulatively risen 69.57% since the low point of this round (April 8), significantly outperforming single-board broad-based indices like ChiNext Index (63.69%), ChiNext Composite (54.74%), STAR Market Composite Index (48.29%), and STAR 50 (37.26%).
Data source: Wind, statistical period: 2025.4.8-2025.9.5. Note: The annual gains/losses of the STAR ChiNext 50 Index from 2020-2024 were: 86.90%, 0.37%, -28.32%, -18.83%, 13.63%. Index constituent stocks are adjusted timely according to index compilation rules, and backtested historical performance does not predict future index performance.
Why layout tech markets through broad-based indices?
1. Risk diversification, avoiding "putting all eggs in one basket": Technology industry has numerous subdivisions (such as semiconductors, AI, new energy, innovative drugs, etc.), with fast technological iteration and large individual stock volatility. Broad-based indices buy a basket of constituent stocks, effectively smoothing black swan risks of single tracks or individual stocks.
2. Capturing sector rotation, avoiding "missing out": Internal rotation also exists within tech markets. Broad-based indices cover multiple tech subdivisions, helping investors grasp overall trends during market rotation and avoid missing opportunities due to betting on wrong subdivided tracks.
3. Policy-driven, capturing industry upward beta: Guotai Junan's report points out that this round of technology growth market rise is attributed to policy shifts and expectation changes. Future policy implementation and marginal economic improvement will continue driving this market round, suggesting layout of broad-based indices representing overall tech trends to capture upward industry beta.
**2. Super Comeback! Optical Module Giants Surge, High-"Light" ChiNext AI ETF (159363) Strongly Rebounds Over 6%, Recovering 10-Day Line**
Optical modules and other computing power sectors regained momentum, with ChiNext AI strongly rebounding over 6%, and constituent stocks generally warming up! The three optical module giants rose together, with Eoptolink leading with over 11% gains, INNOLIGHT rising over 10%, and T&S Communications gaining over 7%! Additionally, multiple stocks including KYLAND, Cogobuy, Mango Excellent Media, Linkage Tech, and Guang Ku Technology rose over 7%.
Among popular ETFs, the ChiNext AI ETF (159363), with the largest scale and outstanding liquidity among funds tracking the same index, rose steadily throughout the day, closing up 6.31% and recovering the 10-day line. Weekly cumulative trading volume of 94.8 billion yuan set a new historical high, with average daily trading of approximately 1.9 billion yuan during the week! Funds have continuously leveraged 159363 to increase positions in ChiNext AI recently, with cumulative net purchases of 2.4 billion yuan over the past 20 days!
Looking at weekly performance, ChiNext AI first rose, then fell, then rose again, with amplified weekly volatility and overall slight retreat of 1.27%, marking the first decline after eight consecutive weekly gains. Looking ahead, market analysis points out that dual support from fundamentals and valuation suggests continued attention to computing power industry chains represented by optical modules, with layout potentially focusing on ChiNext AI intervention opportunities.
Fundamentally, ChiNext AI ETF (159363) fund manager Cao Xuchen believes that absent relative deterioration in China-US relations, the AI computing power industry chain remains the most solid fundamental direction and still has medium to long-term investment value. With NVIDIA's GB300 cabinets gradually ramping up in Q4, NVIDIA still has potential for performance upgrades, thereby driving ChiNext AI performance recovery.
Data shows that multiple constituent stocks of the ChiNext AI Index exceeded expectations in interim reports, with 30 stocks achieving positive growth in attributable net profit. Optical module leaders were particularly impressive! Driven by high AI prosperity, global computing power demand exploded, with optical module performance remarkable. Among them, Eoptolink and RUIJIE NETWORKS saw attributable net profit growth rates exceeding 355% and 194% respectively, while INNOLIGHT, T&S Communications, and TAIYING PHOTONICS all achieved double-high growth in revenue and profit.

From a valuation perspective, Guosheng Securities believes that against the backdrop of computing power performance realization, the current optical module market is just the beginning. The industry is experiencing a critical stage from high-speed performance growth to valuation enhancement. Leading companies are at a new stage from "profit realization" to "value reassessment," with stock price drivers shifting from business-driven to dual performance + valuation drivers. Subsequently, under the triple logic of AI closed loop, incremental fund entry, and continuous industry innovation, valuations are expected to continue rising.
Valuation enhancement reason one: AI closed loop formation. At the industry level, whether from applications or computing power industry perspectives, progress speed and industry impact exceed expectations, with the entire AI industry closed loop becoming clearly visible. From the investment side, model training demand drives overseas CSP giants to continuously increase Capex, with computing cluster construction scale continuously exceeding expectations. From profitability perspective, AI is currently at a critical inflection point for profit realization. From application scenarios, AI is accelerating penetration into finance, healthcare, education, and other fields.
Valuation enhancement reason two: Incremental funds prefer high prosperity + high elasticity industries. With continuous entry of subsequent incremental funds, computing power stock leaders will become preferred fund allocation directions. On one hand, computing power sectors will be more favored by funds under this background due to their high prosperity + high certainty + high elasticity characteristics. On the other hand, funds will concentrate toward leading companies emphasizing their irreplaceability. Leading companies with first-mover advantages in reserves, customers, and technology in the optical module industry will be more favored. Over the past two years, the computing power sector remained in existing fund gaming; now we should focus more on incremental fund buying rhythm, with computing power still being the core main line.
Valuation enhancement reason three: Continuous innovation builds leading company barriers. From industry progress perspective, computing power infrastructure upgrades also show relatively obvious trends. Continuous technological iteration upgrades are systematically enhancing computing power sector valuations through multiple paths including raising technical barriers, expanding market space, and reshaping business models. Under the current background of rapid industry technological iteration, technical barriers translate to pricing power, with leading companies that layout early having more advantages, creating a "strong get stronger" dynamic.
To capture AI computing power opportunities centered on optical modules, focus on the market's first ChiNext AI ETF (159363) and off-market connections (A-class 023407, C-class 023408). The target index allocates approximately 70% to computing power and 30% to AI applications, efficiently capturing AI theme markets, with key layout in optical module leaders including Eoptolink, INNOLIGHT, and T&S Communications, with optical module content exceeding 51%.
