According to a research report by Zhejiang Securities, by 2025, the playback volume of Douyin comic dramas will exceed 70 billion, with the market size surpassing 20 billion yuan.

At the same time, the window for AI comic dramas to go overseas has opened, short dramas have validated payment, and the supply of comic dramas remains scarce. As major players rush to enter the market, AI comic dramas are transitioning from short drama edge experiments to a new round of phenomenal opportunities, moving from paid to free and from single revenue sharing to full IP monetization

Chinese tech companies are launching new AI products during the lunar new year, with ByteDance's Seedance 2.0 and Zhipu AI's GLM5.0 gaining significant attention. JPMorgan recommends buying Zhipu AI and MiniMax, which is also launching a new model. The success of these launches could benefit Tencent and other companies, while Alibaba and Baidu may experience mixed effects. Analysts emphasize the importance of integrating AI models into consumer products for success and suggest that these releases could help close the gap with global competitors like Google and OpenAI.

- Chinese tech companies are launching products during the lunar new year holidays to capture consumer attention, with ByteDance's Seedance 2.0 and Zhipu AI's GLM5.0 leading the focus.  
- Analysts from JPMorgan suggest that these launches could impact stocks like Tencent and MiniMax, while Alibaba's outcome may be mixed due to its Qwen app push.  
- The success of these models hinges on their integration into consumer products, which could narrow the gap with established global AI models and solidify their market position.

In today’s pre-mkt summary for Subscribers: Stocks declined amid uncertainty over new 15% global tariffs following the Supreme Court's invalidation of President Trump’s emergency levies, with added pressures from Trump’s Middle East military buildup against Iran and a severe blizzard impacting the NYC area. Gold and silver advanced and #btc stabilized after dipping below $65K. This is a pivotal week featuring Trump’s State of the Union Tuesday and $NVIDIA(NVDA.US) earnings Wednesday. We maintain our view that equities will go to new highs as cooling inflation and decelerating employment growth boost prospects for faster Fed easing, with money markets pricing two cuts by year-end, with the first likely by July. 2026 S&amp;P 500 EPS growth is projected to grow +12% YoY to $310, which implies a forward P/E of 22.3x. This implies a 4.5% earnings yield, a +40bp premium to 10yr yields, aligning with non-recessionary historical norms. On $Tesla(TSLA.US), the narrative of its unique path to generalized unsupervised autonomy has eroded as $Alphabet - C(GOOG.US), $Baidu(BIDU.US), $WeRide(WRD.US), $Pony AI(PONY.US), and $Amazon(AMZN.US) scale to 750K paid unsupervised autonomous rides weekly without safety monitors, while $NVIDIA(NVDA.US)’s decision to open its AI chips/software stack to other OEMs starting 1H 2026 effectively democratizes unsupervised autonomy.

In today’s pre-mkt summary for Subscribers: Stocks rose as sentiment improved after yesterday’s volatile session, with traders awaiting today’s release of minutes from the Jan 27-28 Fed meeting for clues in the Fed’s forward rate path. 10yr Treasury yields rose and precious metals recovered. We continue to expect equities to reach new highs as cooling inflation and slowing employment growth raise the odds of earlier Fed rate cuts, with money markets pricing in two cuts by year-end. We see stocks as neither under- or over-valued: 2026 S&amp;P 500 EPS growth of +12% implies a forward P/E of 22.1x (4.5% earnings yield) and a ~50bp premium to 10-year Treasuries, consistent with historical non-recessionary norms. We remain cautious on $Tesla(TSLA.US) as the bull case for TSLA being the only one to solve for general unsupervised autonomy continues to weaken with $Alphabet - C(GOOG.US), $Baidu(BIDU.US), $WeRide(WRD.US), $Pony AI(PONY.US), and $Amazon(AMZN.US) completing 750K paid unsupervised rides per week, and $NVIDIA(NVDA.US) about to offer its full autonomy stack to OEMs starting 1H 2026, which we believe will democratize unsupervised autonomy.

That's right. Good companies won't be affected much. Most of their business is in China. Happy Chinese New Year.

上週末，趁着國內臨近春節，美國又耍了個&#34;小手段&#34;，其國防部一度宣佈將包括阿里、百度、比亞迪在內的多家公司納入 Chinese Military Companies、即 CMC 清單。導致阿里等受影響的公司股價盤前一度跳水，但隨後美國防部又 “玩鬧式” 地迅速將此公告撤回了，相關公司最後也收回了大多數跌幅。實際上，美國的這種 “小手段” 已用過多次，海豚君在此前的《中概退市：這次 “狼真會來”？別怕，不是末日！》中有過比較詳細的討論，多少有些見怪不怪了。首先，被納入 CMC 清單的直接影響只是 -- 被禁止與美國國防部及其相關方進行合作往來，但不會直接影響美國資金投資於 CMC 清單內的企業，和直接影響民間的生意往來。只有被納入 “升級版” 的 NS-CMIC 清單內的企業才會被直接禁止美國資金對其進行投資，進而對相關公司股價產生實際性影響。但該 “NS-CMIC” 名單自 21 年 12 月後就再無更新。此前，小米和騰訊也曾短暫被納入國 CMC 清單，但隨後經過上述或溝通都被移出了清單，短暫的恐慌性下跌反而給了不錯的入場機會。結合這個小動作的時間節點，和發佈後又立刻撤回的操作，海豚君當前傾向於這更多隻是美國趁着國內喜慶過年時故意 “噁心”、並試探一下中方政府的態度，為特朗普可能在 4 月的訪華談判上一些籌碼。綜上，海豚君目前覺得大概率不會有什麼實質性的影響，但也不能排除之後美國不會又再有拉扯，把撤回的公告再發布出來，保持關注吧。$Alibaba(BABA.US) $Baidu(BIDU.US)
