Investment Opportunities Reference 1. Xiaomi Auto unveils solid-state battery patent; institutions say eVTOL + humanoid robots open up incremental space for solid-state batteries Intellectual property information from Tianyancha shows that recently, Xiaomi Auto Technology Co., Ltd. applied for a patent titled "Solid-state battery composite electrode, preparation method, and solid-state battery comprising the composite electrode," which has been made public. The abstract indicates that the solid-state battery composite electrode disclosed in the patent effectively shortens the transmission path of metal ions in thick electrodes and accelerates the transmission rate of metal ions between electrodes, featuring high electrode loading and C-rate performance. Dongxing Securities stated that with the gradual entry of fields such as eVTOL and humanoid robots into a phase of rapid growth, along with the release of technological solutions and industrialisation application timelines for all-solid-state batteries by various enterprises, driven by sustained new demand, the application and implementation of solid-state battery technology is expected to accelerate, with the industrialisation process already showing an accelerating trend. Battery enterprises with a first-mover advantage in solid-state battery technology and leading application deployment will primarily benefit. Sihan Industry Research Institute believes that AI is empowering industrial transformation, with eVTOL and humanoid robots opening up incremental space for solid-state batteries. 2. AI inference demand is accelerating, and this solution has become a focus for self-development among major cloud providers According to media reports, while GPUs have advantages in general-purpose accelerated computing scenarios, they face challenges such as high costs and power consumption in specific scenarios, prompting buyers to seek alternative types of chips for support. Customised ASIC chips have become a focal point of attention. Recently, NVIDIA introduced NVLink Fusion, directly targeting Broadcom's high-growth market: AI custom chips. This also means there are new entrants in the ASIC chip market. As AI models become increasingly powerful, the demand for AI inference is accelerating, with ASIC customised solutions offering better energy efficiency and cost advantages becoming a focus for self-development among major cloud providers, with upgraded versions typically released every 1-2 years. Guojin Securities believes that compared to GPUs, ASICs can be custom-developed for specific business scenarios, and the substantial demand for inference computing power and cost reduction will effectively drive the growth of ASIC demand. They are optimistic about ASIC design service companies, Ethernet white-box switch producers, Ethernet switching chip producers, AEC producers, and PCB producers. 3. Against the backdrop of strong supply constraints and a concentrated industry structure, these chemicals are currently in a price upcycle Institutions have pointed out that as temperatures rise, the demand for refrigerant maintenance is gradually becoming robust, with genuine sales boosting channel price confidence. Downstream air conditioner production schedules from June to August remain high on a YoY basis, with the demand side continuing to provide positive feedback. The long-term bullish trend for refrigerants remains unchanged. Against the backdrop of equal domestic and international trade quotes for mainstream refrigerants, the performance release certainty of refrigerant-related producers has strengthened. Founder Securities pointed out that refrigerants are one of the largest and most widely applied segments in the fluorochemical industry. The Montreal Protocol has driven the generational transition of refrigerants. Currently, the refrigerant industry is in a phase of accelerated reduction of second-generation refrigerants, quota freezing of third-generation refrigerants, and patent protection for fourth-generation refrigerants. Against the backdrop of strong supply constraints and a concentrated industry structure, second- and third-generation refrigerants are currently in a price upcycle. The downstream air conditioning and automotive industries are expected to maintain growth trends, with third-generation refrigerants expected to see both volume and price increases. In addition, fluorine-containing fine chemicals are a niche but high-quality segment within the fluorine chemical industry, characterized by high product barriers and added value, with significant growth in market demand in recent years. With the development of emerging industries such as new energy and electronics, their market size continues to expand. 4. Institutions Say Defense and Military Demand Expected to Recover, with Long-Term Growth Certainty in Relevant Sectors Research reports from institutions indicate that, as 2025 marks the final year of the "14th Five-Year Plan" and the planning year for the "15th Five-Year Plan," demand in the defense and military sector is expected to recover. Research reports from Northeast Securities point out that, at the current juncture, as the "14th Five-Year Plan" enters its final year, disruptive factors in the military industry have largely been eliminated, and downstream demand is showing restorative growth. Meanwhile, with the impending 2027 construction target, medium and long-term goals also provide clear guidance for the industry's development: to basically achieve the modernization of national defense and the military by 2035, and to comprehensively build the People's Liberation Army into a world-class military by 2050. Along with the recovery in demand and the gradual optimization of capacity structure, the defense and military sector is expected to see significant improvement, with high safety margins and long-term growth certainty.

This time, the US has once again raised tariffs on steel, aluminum, and their derivative products, which not only harms others and itself, does not help maintain industrial security, but will also seriously disrupt the stability of the global industry chain and supply chain. The US approach has been opposed by multiple countries.
