1. Report's Industry Investment Rating - No industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The CSI Convertible Bond Index rose 2.92% last week. Despite some equity broad - based indices experiencing fluctuations due to ETF fund outflows, convertible bonds showed strong optimism as they were not affected by such factors. Key asset characteristic indicators in the convertible bond market rapidly increased [3][11]. - The short - term overheating indicators have not been triggered yet, but if the market remains strong in the first half of this week, these indicators may appear in the second half [12][18]. - The call provision remains the main short - term valuation game point. It has a disturbing impact on the pricing of equity - like convertible bonds. Historically, call provisions have generally put pressure on the subsequent trends of convertible bonds [20]. - For the underlying stocks, the call is not just an event - based shock. Converting bonds to stocks for "extending the life" of call - announced convertible bonds does not significantly increase returns. The price recovery of underlying stocks is not a high - probability event after conversion and extended holding [21]. - A set of screening criteria for convertible bond conversion investment to achieve effective "extension of life" has been established. From 2019 to now, convertible bonds meeting these criteria have an arithmetic average return of 3.56%, a median return of 2.13%, and a positive return probability of 72%. For convertible bonds meeting these criteria, it is recommended to actively convert at a negative premium rate at the end of the bond's life and hold for 10 trading days [24]. 3. Summary According to the Table of Contents Section 1: Is There a "Second Chance" for Convertible Bonds after Forced Redemption? - **Market Performance**: The CSI Convertible Bond Index rose 2.92% last week. The weighted average price of the entire market's convertible bonds reached 146 yuan, a record high. The number of convertible bond issues with a price > 130 yuan and a conversion premium rate > 20% reached 222, accounting for 58.58% of the entire market. The conversion premium rate of convertible bonds with a parity between 110 - 130 yuan increased rapidly [11]. - **Overheating Indicators**: The short - term trading signal indicators mainly include the implied 3 - month yield and the moving - average overheating indicator. As of January 23, neither had been triggered, but if the market remains strong in the first half of this week, overheating indicators may appear in the second half [12][18]. - **Impact of Call Provisions**: Call provisions are the main short - term valuation game point, disturbing the pricing of equity - like convertible bonds. From 2019 to now, the arithmetic average return of 441 call - redeemed convertible bonds from the call announcement date to the last trading day was - 4.78%, the median return was - 4.88%, and the positive return probability was only 32.2% [20]. - **Effect of Conversion and Extended Holding**: For underlying stocks, converting call - announced convertible bonds to stocks and extending the holding period does not significantly increase returns. From 2019 to now, the arithmetic average return during the test period was - 0.50%, the median return was - 1.31%, and the positive return probability was 44.93% [21]. - **Screening Criteria for Conversion Investment**: The screening criteria are: on the trading day before the call announcement, the conversion value is between 120 yuan and 135 yuan; the remaining term of the convertible bond is between 1.5 and 4.5 years; the convertible bond's price change from the call announcement date to the last trading day is between - 5% and 10%. From 2019 to now, 25 convertible bonds meet these criteria, with an arithmetic average return of 3.56%, a median return of 2.13%, and a positive return probability of 72% [24].
