特朗普2.0对科技行业的影响:美大选结果有望加速国产替代,扩张国内需求
浦银国际证券· 2024-11-07 11:21
年年 科技行业 | 行业点评 浦银国际 行业点评 科技行业 特朗普 2.0 对科技行业的影响 ——美大选结果有望加速国产替代, 扩张国内需求 北京时间 11 月 6 日下午,美国大选结果揭晓,特朗普当选总统, 共和党在参议院中获胜,在众议院选举中领先。这利好中国科技产 业加速国产化进程。 首先,从特朗普主张的加大美国贸易关税以及加大对中国贸易壁垒 角度看,这对于中国相关科技产业,尤其是智能手机类消费电子以 及新能源车等下游需求影响较小。中国企业,包括智能手机和新能 源车,在美国的销售体量几乎可以忽略不计。而且,中国这些 C 端 产品企业的海外战略不在于美国市场,而是在于欧洲、东南亚、中 东、非洲、南美等其他海外市场。因此,从基本面角度来看,我们 认为美增加关税对于中国智能手机、新能源车及其产业链短期的基 本面影响较小。 而美国本土企业,如苹果、特斯拉等,也在这两年保持对于海外供 应链的建设,以减少对于中国供应链依赖的风险。但是,美政策对 于这些美国科技龙头的影响有待持续观察。 在消费电子领域,我们维持此前的判断,对于比亚迪电子(285.HK)、 立讯精密(002475.CH)、蓝思科技(300433.CH)等 ...

特朗普2.0对中国医药行业的影响:整体影响有限,CXO市场情绪或走低
浦银国际证券· 2024-11-07 11:21
Investment Rating - The report maintains a positive outlook on the pharmaceutical industry, particularly on innovative drugs, high-value consumables, and medical devices [7]. Core Insights - The impact of Trump's election on the Chinese pharmaceutical industry is expected to be limited, with short-term effects on market sentiment for the CXO sector and innovative drug companies [3][4]. - The potential for the "Inflation Reduction Act" (IRA) pressure to ease may boost market sentiment for Chinese innovative drug sales overseas [4]. - The likelihood of comprehensive tariffs on Chinese products is considered limited, as the current export of Chinese pharmaceuticals to the U.S. is minimal, primarily consisting of raw materials [5][7]. Summary by Sections Impact of U.S. Election - Trump's election may lead to a higher probability of the standalone legislation of the "Biological Security Act," which could negatively affect market sentiment for CXO stocks in the short term [3]. - Concerns about the slowdown in overseas financing for biopharmaceuticals may arise due to a potential delay in the Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts [3]. Market Sentiment and Policy Changes - The easing of IRA pressures could positively influence the sentiment for Chinese pharmaceutical companies' overseas sales, as Trump's administration may favor market competition over price negotiations [4]. - If the pricing pressure on overseas pharmaceutical companies is alleviated, it may lead to increased cross-border business development transactions, benefiting Chinese innovative drug companies [4]. Tariff Implications - The report suggests that the impact of potential tariffs on Chinese pharmaceutical companies would be limited, as the majority of exports are raw materials, and many innovative companies are opting for licensing agreements to mitigate risks [5]. - For medical devices, the report indicates that the impact of tariffs would also be minimal, as companies have already begun to adapt to geopolitical risks [7]. Investment Recommendations - The report recommends focusing on innovative drugs, high-value consumables, and medical devices, highlighting specific companies such as HCM, 康方生物, 归创通桥, 春立医疗, and 迈瑞医疗 as potential investment opportunities [7].
