Shenwan Hongyuan Securities stated that China's national defense equipment construction is entering a new cycle driven by dual engines: "steady growth in traditional defense industry" and "potential release of military technology civilianization." In the traditional defense sector, the continuous quality improvement and quantity supplementation of military equipment is a systematic long-term process, combined with continuous breakthroughs in the military trade field forming strong support. The structural focus during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period will form investment themes around informatization/intelligentization and military trade. Meanwhile, the high-precision cutting-edge technologies accumulated in the defense sector are accelerating their spillover, spawning and empowering emerging industry tracks such as commercial aerospace, aero-engines and gas turbines, and controlled nuclear fusion, collectively opening up the industry's long-term growth ceiling.
