II. Investment Opportunities in First Limit-Up Stocks

1. ZOTYE (000980): Low-price restructuring + Debt improvement + Subsidiary resumption of production, hitting the daily limit today, reversing the funding game dilemma

The company has repaid debts in advance and obtained new loans, leading to marginal improvements in its financial structure; the parts subsidiary, ShenKang Body, has resumed work, improving the supporting system. Coupled with an optimized executive team, a significant reduction in losses expected in 2025, and net assets to formally avoid delisting risks, the low-price stock attributes attract short-term speculative funds. It has risen 9.17% in the past five days, hitting the daily limit today with strong resonance of sentiment and funds.

Opportunity Reminder: The closing price relative to Ji'an's pricing is 6.23 yuan, with the stock price significantly discounted by 89.43%, indicating extremely weak fundamentals. A pre-loss of 281-417 million yuan is expected in 2025, with a debt-to-asset ratio close to 99.4%, and a lack of complete vehicle production capacity. The stability of the subsidiary's resumption of production is questionable, and there are still significant debt and funding pressures, making it purely a speculative play. Be cautious of high rebounds and risks of restructuring falling short of expectations.

1. Baolihua (000690): Significant increase in thermal power profits + Synergy in electricity calculation + High dividends, hitting the daily limit today with performance and policy driving dual momentum

The company expects a net profit of 1.024 billion yuan in 2025 (up 45.21% year-on-year), with power generation increasing by 23.78% and improved costs due to falling coal prices. It plans to distribute 2 yuan per share, with an annual dividend rate exceeding 53%, attracting allocation funds due to high dividends. Additionally, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's synergy policy in electricity calculation catalyzes the revaluation of green electricity, leading to a collective strength in the power sector. It has risen 11.89% in the past five days, with a clear trend of fund inflow.

Opportunity Reminder: The current closing price deviates -69.39% from the Ji'an pricing of 10.87 yuan, indicating low valuation but potential for recovery. The pace of electricity market reform and coal price fluctuations affect profitability, and there is a need to be cautious of industry policy and cost uncertainty risks.

1. Ningbo Gaofa (603788): Annual report growth + high dividend + automotive parts, today hit the daily limit with increased volume, driven by both performance and dividends

The company expects a net profit of 216 million yuan in 2025 (up 13.43% year-on-year) and plans to distribute 8 yuan per share, with a dividend yield exceeding 4.5%, attracting capital allocation. The company is a leader in electronic shifters, deeply bound to new energy clients such as BYD, Xiaomi, and Nio, with pedal product sales increasing by 61%, showing stable performance. Coupled with the catalyst of intelligent connected vehicle policies, it has risen 13.84% in the past five days, with significant capital inflow.

Opportunity Reminder: The current closing price deviates -67.17% from the Ji'an pricing of 33.92 yuan, indicating low valuation but potential for recovery. Operating cash flow has declined by 19.38% year-on-year, and the growth rate of net profit has slowed. Risks from price wars in the automotive industry and customer concentration still exist, necessitating caution regarding profit fluctuations and the risk of thematic decline.

3. Risk Reminder for Continuous Limit Up

1. Jinfeng Technology (003018): Liquid cooling transformation + cap leader, strong rise with three consecutive limit ups, capital focuses on AI liquid cooling track

The company has acquired Zhuohui Metal and Lianyi Thermal to enter the liquid cooling heat dissipation field, with targets already entering the supply chains of Qihong, Baode, etc., serving leading cloud manufacturers in North America. The explosive demand for liquid cooling servers and transformation expectations have driven the stock price up. The traditional cap business is stable, providing cash flow support for the transformation, with a significant increase of 33.74% in the past five days, activating short-term sentiment with three consecutive limit ups and strong capital speculation willingness.

Risk Reminder: The closing price deviates 53.57% from the Ji'an pricing of 27.40 yuan, indicating high valuation. The liquid cooling business has not yet contributed substantial revenue, and there is uncertainty regarding the fulfillment of performance commitments. The decline in the traditional main business necessitates caution regarding high-level adjustments and transformation risks not meeting expectations.

1. Shenglong Co., Ltd. (603178): New energy electric drive + robotic joints + low-altitude economy, strong rise with three consecutive limit ups, capital focuses on popular transformation tracks The company has been designated by a leading new energy vehicle enterprise for electric drive casing and is involved in drafting industry technical standards. Coupled with the catalysis of robotics and low-altitude economy concepts, there is a strong expectation for the new energy business to ramp up. The traditional auto parts main business is stable, providing cash flow support for the transformation. It has surged 34.52% in the past five days, with three consecutive limit-ups activating short-term sentiment and a high willingness for speculative trading.

Risk Warning: The closing price deviates 50.28% from the Ji'an pricing of 12.61 yuan, indicating a significantly high valuation. A performance loss is expected in 2025, with short-term fundamentals under pressure. There is uncertainty regarding the mass production of new energy projects and performance realization, and caution is needed for high-level corrections and the risk of thematic retreat.

1. Shenjian Co., Ltd. (002361): Commercial Aerospace + State-owned Capital Empowerment + Polyester Resin Leader, Strong Attack with Two Consecutive Limit-Ups, Funds Focus on Hot Themes

The company's main business in chemical new materials is stable, being a leader in polyester resin for global powder coatings, with significant cost advantages. Through its subsidiary Jiaye Aviation, it has entered the aerospace field, being the exclusive supplier for the tail section of the Blue Arrow Aerospace Zhuque-3 rocket, deeply binding with the national satellite network project. With the commercial aerospace market booming, the thematic heat is rising. It has surged 35.87% in the past five days, with two consecutive limit-ups activating short-term sentiment, and significant inflow of main funds, indicating strong speculative willingness.

Risk Warning: The closing price deviates 47.17% from the Ji'an pricing of 14.03 yuan, indicating a high valuation. Revenue from the aerospace business accounts for less than 1%, with limited performance contribution. The short-term is purely driven by themes, with weak fundamental support, and caution is needed for high-level corrections and the risk of thematic retreat.

The industry sectors showed a pattern of more declines than rises, with electronic chemicals, components, coal, and power sectors leading in gains, becoming the main defensive hotspots in the market.

The sector led the gains, with Huate Gas hitting the daily limit of 20cm, and Jinhong Gas and Guanggang Gas rising over 10%, with funds focusing on scarce resource tracks. Meanwhile, the stocks hitting the daily limit today continued the recent hot logic, with Baolihua (000690) benefiting from increased profits in thermal power and high dividends, hitting the daily limit with a volume surge, rising 11.89% in the past five days; Ningbo Gaofa (603788) hit the daily limit due to annual report growth, high dividends, and layout in new energy components, rising 13.84% in the past five days; Shenglong Co., Ltd.

Attention should be paid to changes in trading volume and the rhythm of sector rotation, and caution should be exercised regarding the risk of high-level themes retreating. Focus should be on targets with strong performance certainty and reasonable valuations.
