# CMSI: Consolidation Led by State-owned Carmakers to Help Cut Excess Capacity, Reduce Homogeneous Competition

CMSI released a research report stating that the National Development and Reform Commission has, for the first time, incorporated mergers and reorganizations and strict capacity control into its five-year plan. GAC GROUP (02238.HK) +0.160 (+7.033%) Short selling $1.27M; Ratio 2.004% and FAW have launched asset restructuring, marking the start of supply-side reform in the auto industry, which is expected to address the root causes of excessive competition and drive earnings and valuation recovery in the sector.

The broker believes that asset consolidation led by state-owned automakers will help reduce excess capacity and homogeneous competition. If implemented comprehensively, it will improve the overall profit margin of the industry and support sector valuation recovery. The broker maintained its outlook for next year's auto market of "stable domestic demand and stronger overseas expansion".
