Guotai Haitong Asset Management says the CSI TMT index is trading near historical highs and sector-wide downside risk is building, calling for greater emphasis on risk management. With popular sub-sectors largely priced to perfection, strategies should be more cautious and rigorously weigh risk/reward, shifting toward deeply discounted recovery assets and structural opportunities driven by frontier tech innovation. Following a sharp early rally, market growth expectations for the AI compute supply chain are largely priced through 2027; incremental growth beyond that will be highly dependent on realization of AI commercialization revenues and sustained financing, which increases long-term uncertainty. Allocate compute exposures more conservatively and avoid chasing rallies.
