China International Capital Co says China’s transportation sector fell 16.5% in 1H26, underperforming the broader market by 24.0ppt. Subsector divergence was marked: oil shipping outperformed by 30.6ppt, airlines underperformed by 39.2ppt after Q2 oil-price strength. Dividend-style road and rail lagged by 24.5ppt, ports by 20.1ppt; express logistics underperformed by 12.5ppt.

Non-express logistics require selective stock picking; dividend-oriented segments will be sensitive to overall market style.
