As of 11:30 AM, the China Merchants SZSE ChiNext Artificial Intelligence ETF (159382.SZ) rose by 4.58%, with a trading volume of 117 million and a turnover rate of 5.76%. According to brokerage research reports, from an industrial fundamentals perspective, leading AI companies generally have real performance and cash flow support, and the industrial foundation is much more solid than in previous technology cycles; the adoption rate of AI among enterprises has achieved nearly a doubling growth in the past year, with about 90% of organizations planning to further increase AI spending, and the average contract value is expected to grow nearly twofold, with commercialization penetration entering a period of rapid expansion. From an investment perspective, the AI industry chain is showing a dual diffusion effect, expanding from hardware computing power to application explosion, and extending from the digital world to the physical world—on one hand, computing power infrastructure has been laid out like a "highway," and AI applications (intelligent agents, humanoid robots, autonomous driving, AI for Science, etc.) are on the verge of large-scale explosion, opening up vast incremental space; on the other hand, the rigid demand for AI in physical resources such as electricity and infrastructure has spawned a super boom cycle in "AI necessities" such as gas turbines, grid transformation, and optical communication. The supply-demand gap for AI electricity in North America alone corresponds to a market space of hundreds of billions, and the supply bottleneck is difficult to alleviate in the short term, with high prosperity expected to continue for several years. At the same time, under the strategic drive of self-control and domestic substitution, the domestic computing power industry chain is expected to usher in an independent market with both volume and price rising, coupled with the deep restructuring of traditional business processes by AI intelligent agents, which is accelerating the leap from "efficiency tools" to "value centers," continuously expanding the industry depth.
