Guojin Securities chief strategist Mu Yiling says AI capex as a share of global
GDP is rising rapidly and has real cyclical support, comparable to China’s
2005–07 urbanization-driven growth cycle; capital is concentrating in AI
hardware. He sees room for further gains in the Philadelphia Semiconductor
Index, while A-share growth valuations have expanded faster than US peers and
some profits are priced near the most optimistic levels of the 2005–07 cycle—yet
valuation alone does not imply a market top and the market lacks rotation
conditions. The AI narrative is weighing on growth outside the US; A-shares are
hitting new highs even as breadth (rising-stock share) contracts. Mu judges the
market has entered a high-volatility regime similar to early 2007 and recommends
an active-defensive allocation: priority to dividend sectors (oil, coal, power,
city commercial banks), secondary emphasis on upstream tech (semiconductors/AI
materials, equipment and manufacturing); medium-term, once AI headwinds ease,
favor industrial metals, general and specialized machinery and export-oriented
names.
