Huawei industrial chain

AITO asked the world that the new M7 order exceeded 50,000, and the blind order of M9 exceeded 8,000 units.Since the release of the new M7, Huawei has frequently announced the number of its large orders. On September 25th, the new M7 was listed less than two weeks ago, with more than 20,000 units scheduled. The total scheduled amount in September is 30,000 units; By October 6, the listing time was more than three weeks, and the total number of scheduled units exceeded 50,000. Among them, 7,000 units were scheduled on October 6, and the number of single-day bookings reached a new high. While creating strong sales potential, the new M7 in the world of inquiry is also affecting the positioning of the "flagship SUV of panoramic wisdom". Since the blind booking was started on September 25th, the M9 in the world of inquiry with a pre-sale price of 500,000-600,000 yuan has won a large number of orders with only a few renderings and a small amount of configuration information. According to Yu Chengdong, as of October 7th, the customer M9 had accumulated 10,450 blind orders and retained 8,040 orders. On that day, 333 units were blindly ordered, 26 units were unsubscribed and 307 units were blindly ordered.

"One second and one kilometer", Huawei’s fully liquid-cooled overcharge station was launched.According to WeChat official account, the official WeChat of Huawei, during the National Day, the overload stations in Tianquan Service Area, Litang Kangnan Tourism Distribution Center and Sangdui Service Area along the southern Sichuan-Tibet line and Litang-Aden Highway (Sichuan section) built with the help of Huawei digital energy were officially launched. The fully liquid-cooled overcharge station launched this time has achieved the following three advantages: 1) faster charging, "one kilometer per second"; 2) The equipment has high reliability and long service life; 3) Match all models, and charge them as soon as they arrive.

In terms of breakdown, we should pay attention to robots, data elements and automobile intelligence that have made breakthroughs in recent industrial trends.

obesity drug

Sales are expected to increase, boosting the concept stocks of diet pills.JPMorgan Chase has raised its sales forecast for diet pills. It is predicted that by 2030, under the control of the duopoly of Novo Nordisk and Lilly Pharmaceuticals, the annual sales of GLP-1 receptor agonist-related drugs will exceed $100 billion. At the same time, JPMorgan Chase also predicted that the market size of weight-loss drugs in China is expected to reach $14.9 billion in 2030. According to the article "Prevalence of Obesity and Related Complications in China: A Cross-sectional Real World Study of 15.8 million Adults", according to the BMI classification standard of overweight and obesity in China, 34.8% of the 15.8 million adult subjects are overweight and 14.1% are obese. With the increase in the number of obese people and the enhancement of residents’ awareness of weight management, there is huge room for the development of diet pills market, and related R&D and pharmaceutical companies are expected to usher in a boost in valuation and a release of performance.

3, theme and industry trend changes

(1) New energy vehicles: The sales volume of domestic new energy vehicle enterprises increased in September, and the new M7 orders from AITO exceeded 50,000.

In September, the sales of domestic new energy vehicles rose, and some car companies delivered a new high monthly.

Since October, a number of new energy vehicle companies have disclosed their sales in September.Specifically, BYD Auto delivered 287,454 vehicles in September, up 42.8% year-on-year and 4.76% quarter-on-quarter. Guangzhou Automobile Ai ‘an delivered 51,596 vehicles in September, up 72% year-on-year and 14.59% quarter-on-quarter. Ideally, 36,060 vehicles will be delivered in September, up 212.7% year-on-year and 3.28% quarter-on-quarter. Deep blue delivered 17,370 vehicles in September, an increase of 17.87% from the previous month; Zero run delivered 15,800 vehicles in September, up 43.13% year-on-year and 11.35% quarter-on-quarter; Weilai delivered 15,641 vehicles in September, up 43.8% year-on-year and down 19.08% month-on-month; Tucki delivered 15,310 vehicles in September, up 81% year-on-year and 12% quarter-on-quarter.

From the overall sales volume, BYD showed a leading position with a monthly sales of nearly 290,000 vehicles, and its sales volume exceeded the sum of the sales of the last 15 car companies; Gac ean delivered 51,596 vehicles in a single month.Refresh your highest monthly sales again,Monthly sales exceeded 50,000 vehicles for the first time; Ideal September sales exceeded 36,000 vehicles, up 212.7% year-on-year.Create a new high in monthly delivery.Deep Blue Auto surpassed the old and new car companies such as Zero Run, Weilai, Tucki, etc., which ranked ideal, and delivered 17,370 vehicles in September. In addition, the delivery volume of Nezha cars in September has been obviously weak, although it increased by 9.15% month-on-month, but it decreased by 26.63% year-on-year to 13,211 vehicles. On a month-on-month basis, the sales volume of GAC Ai ‘an in September was nearly 15% month-on-month, maintaining a steady growth trend. It is worth noting that Great Wall Motor’s new energy sales increased by 111.23% year-on-year, but decreased by 87.14% month-on-month.

In addition, the delivery volume of Weilai in September decreased by 19.08% from the previous month to 15,641 vehicles, and the monthly delivery volume declined for the second consecutive month.

Aito asked the world that the new M7 order exceeded 50,000, and the blind order of M9 exceeded 8,000 units.

AITO’s new M7 was released and listed on September 12th. This model is a model of Huawei’s intelligent car selection mode, and it has been significantly improved in terms of intelligent driving, body hardware and cost performance, and it is very popular after listing. Since the release of the new M7, Huawei has frequently announced its large order quantity. On September 25th, the new M7 was launched less than two weeks ago, and more than 20,000 sets were scheduled. The total scheduled amount in September is 30,000 units;By October 6, the listing time was more than three weeks, and the total number of scheduled units exceeded 50,000. Among them, 7,000 units were scheduled on October 6, and the number of single-day bookings reached a new high.

The hot sales of the new M7 in the world of inquiry ushered in a turning point after several months of low sales.Previously, as of August 30, 2023, the cumulative sales volume of the Wenjie series this year was only 35,200 units. In terms of product strength, the new M7 in Wenjie focuses on making up the missing items of the old M7, such as high-level intelligent assisted driving ability.The new M7 is equipped with HUAWEI ADS 2.0 advanced intelligent driving system, 27 sensing hardware, HarmonyOS intelligent cockpit, HUAWEI DATSTM 2.0 upgrade, HUAWEI DriveONE extended-range electric drive platform, etc.The rapid increase in the number of new M7 terminals in the world has certainly promoted the number of shops and test drives during the Mid-Autumn National Day holiday, but it still reflects the objective fact that the popularity of new M7 terminals in the world is gradually expanding. The new M7 has boosted Huawei’s BU business in terms of market realization, and its single product pulling effect has been greater than that of the previously released M7, M5 and M5 EV.

While creating strong sales potential, the new M7 in the world of inquiry also affects the M9 in positioning the "flagship SUV of panoramic wisdom".Since the blind subscription was started on September 25th, the pre-sale price of 500,000-600,000 yuan has won a large number of orders with only a few renderings and a small amount of configuration information. According to Yu Chengdong, as of October 7th, the customer M9 had accumulated 10,450 blind orders and retained 8,040 orders. On that day, 333 units were blindly ordered, 26 units were unsubscribed and 307 units were blindly ordered. "The momentum is still too strong, and the delivery volume next year must be made up, with a positive mass supply as the plan guarantee."

Tesla delivered 435,000 units in the third quarter to a new high, and Tesla Model 3/Y America continued to cut prices.

Tesla delivered digital release in the third quarter, with 435,000 units reaching a new high.On October 3rd, Tesla released the third quarter production and delivery report. In the third quarter of 2023, Tesla produced a total of 430,488 electric vehicles worldwide, an increase of about 18% year-on-year. 435,059 electric vehicles were delivered, a year-on-year increase of about 27%.

In the third quarter, Tesla’s production decreased by 10.3% month-on-month, which is the first quarter of this year when demand exceeds supply. At the same time, Tesla officially said that the delivery target in 2023 will remain unchanged at 1.8 million units. This means that if the delivery volume in the third quarter is less than expected, Tesla will deliver nearly 476,000 vehicles in the fourth quarter to achieve this goal. Under the price reduction, Tesla is expected to continue to hit the year-end delivery target.

Tesla lowered the price of American models.On October 6, Tesla officially announced the price reduction of some models, of which the Model 3 rear-wheel drive version dropped from $40,240 to $38,990; The long-life version dropped from $47,240 to $45,990; The high-performance version was reduced from $53,240 to $50,990. At the same time, the Model Y long-life version dropped from $50,490 to $48,490; The performance version was reduced from $54,490 to $52,490.

(2) Artificial Intelligence & Robot: Google launched RT-X, one of the largest universal models in the world, and opened the training data set.

Based on the Open X-Embodiment training set, Google DeepMind launched the universal big model RT-X.On October 4th, DeepMind, a well-known AI research institution under Google, released RT-X, one of the largest universal large models in the world, and opened the training data set Open X-Embodiment. In order to build a variety of data sets to train a general model, and then control the training of many different kinds of robots, Google DeepMind cooperated with academic research laboratories of 33 institutions to build an Open X-Embodiment data set. They collected data from 22 different robot types, covering more than 1 million segments, showing more than 500 skills of robots and their performance on 150,000 tasks. This data set is the most comprehensive robot data set of its kind. Based on Open X-Embodiment data set, DeepMind trained more powerful RT-X on the basis of models RT-1 and RT-2, corresponding to RT-1-X and RT-2-X respectively. The experimental results show that the average performance of RT-1-X trained with Open X-Embodiment dataset is 50% better than that of the original model (RT-1). In mastering new skills, the success rate of RT-2-X is three times that of its previous best model RT-2. RT-2-X shows that under the premise of using a sufficiently high-capacity architecture,Combining the data of other robots with RT-2-X training can improve the task execution range of robots.

Data sets and models based on data set training have played a key role in promoting AI progress, and Open X-Embodiment data sets will promote the development of robotics.At present, the Open X-Embodiment data set and the RT-1-X model checkpoint have been opened to a wide range of research communities. DeepMind’s new research shows that it is possible to develop more useful auxiliary robots by using more diverse data and better models for extended learning. It is very important to cooperate with laboratories around the world and share resources to promote robot research in an open and responsible way. The future of robotics depends on the mutual learning between robots, and the most important thing is the mutual learning between researchers.DeepMind’s research proves that the model can be used in different environments, and its performance has been significantly improved both on DeepMind’s robots and on robots from different universities around the world.

Liquid-cooled overcharge: "one second and one kilometer", Huawei all-liquid-cooled overcharge station goes online.

"One second and one kilometer", Huawei’s liquid-cooled overcharge helps to build the 318 Sichuan-Tibet overcharged green corridor with the highest altitude and faster charging.According to the news of Huawei’s official WeChat WeChat official account on October 4th, during the National Day holiday, the fully liquid-cooled overcharge station built with the help of Huawei’s digital energy was officially launched in Tianquan Service Area, Litang Kangnan Tourism Distribution Center and Sangdui Service Area along the southern Sichuan-Tibet line and Litang-Aden Highway (Sichuan section), which can provide new energy owners with a fast charging experience of "starting with a cup of coffee". This "318 Sichuan-Tibet Supercharge Green Gallery" fully liquid-cooled overcharge station can realize the maximum output power of the fully liquid-cooled overcharge terminal of 600kW and the maximum current of 600A, which is called "one second and one kilometer".

The "Implementation Plan" puts forward the "Ten Actions of peak carbon dioxide emissions" around the key areas and key links of carbon emission. In the future, Shenzhen will continue to promote the promulgation of "n" supporting policy documents, including action plans in key areas such as energy, industry, transportation and urban construction, and it is recommended to continue to pay attention.

(2) The potential impact on computing power, transportation capacity, storage and application of the Action Plan for High-quality Development of Computing Infrastructure jointly issued by six departments.

On October 9, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other departments jointly issued the "Action Plan for High-quality Development of Computing Infrastructure", which proposed quantitative indicators for development by 2025 from four aspects: computing power, carrying capacity, storage capacity and application empowerment. Specifically, in terms of computing power,Computational power scaleOver 300EFLOPS, the proportion of intelligent computing power reaches 35%, and the computing power of the east and the west develops in a balanced and coordinated way.Storage capacityThe total storage capacity exceeds 1800EB, and the advanced storage capacity accounts for more than 30%.Carrying capacity, the national hub node data center clusters basically realize direct network transmission not higher than 1.5 times the theoretical delay, the coverage rate of OTN in key application sites reaches 80%, the backbone network and metropolitan area network fully support IPv6, and the use of new technologies such as SRv6 accounts for 40%.Application empowerment, around the industry, finance, medical care, transportation, energy, education and other key areas, each to create more than 30 application benchmarks.

Computing power: the scale of computing power exceeds 300 EFLOPS, and the proportion of intelligent computing power reaches 35%.

In terms of computing power, the Action Plan proposes that by 2025, the scale of computing power will exceed 300EFLOPS, and the proportion of intelligent computing power will reach 35%, so that the computing power of the east and the west will develop in a balanced and coordinated manner. Judging from the current development situation, by the end of 2022, the total scale of computing power in China has reached 180Eflops, of which the scale of intelligent computing power accounts for about 22.8%.With the rapid development of AI model, the demand for intelligent computing power is explosive, and the current intelligent computing power has become the main driving force for the growth of computing power in China. According to IDC’s forecast, the global AI computing market will grow from $19.5 billion in 2022 to $34.66 billion in 2026, of which the generated AI computing market will grow from $820 million in 2022 to $10.99 billion in 2026. The proportion of generative AI computing in the overall AI computing market will increase from 4.2% to 31.7%. According to the China Artificial Intelligence Computing Power Development Assessment Report, by 2026, the market size of artificial intelligence servers in China will reach 12.34 billion US dollars.

Storage capacity: the scale of storage capacity continues to expand, and the construction of advanced storage capacity is steadily accelerated.

In terms of storage capacity, the Action Plan proposes that the total storage capacity exceeds 1800EB, and the advanced storage capacity accounts for more than 30%.Judging from the current development, by the end of 2022, the number of servers in the data center in use in China exceeded 20 million, and the storage capacity exceeded 1000EB, increasing by 25%. At present, various provinces have successively introduced the goal of building storage capacity. According to incomplete statistics, Shanghai, Shandong, Ningxia, Tianjin and other places have successively issued relevant guidance documents on storage capacity.Specifically, Tianjin issued "Guiding Opinions on Doing a Good Job in the Construction and Development of Computing Network", Shandong issued "Action Plan for the Construction of Integrated Computing Network in Shandong Province (2022-2025)" and Ningxia issued "Guide for the Construction of Data Center in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region".

Carrying capacity: the quality of transport capacity has improved, and the three major operators have accelerated the layout of computing networks.

In terms of carrying capacity, the Action Plan proposes that the data center clusters of national hub nodes basically realize direct network transmission with a theoretical delay of not more than 1.5 times, the coverage rate of OTN in key application sites reaches 80%, the backbone network and metropolitan area network fully support IPv6, and the use of new technologies such as SRv6 accounts for 40%. According to the data of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, by the end of 2022, 2.312 million 5G base stations had been built and opened in China, and 110 cities in China had reached the standard of gigabit city construction, with the total length of optical cable lines in China reaching 59.58 million kilometers. With the continuous advancement of the East-to-West Computing Project, the operators’ investment in computing network has been continuously increased.

Application empowerment: accelerate the construction of marginal computing power, and the "computing power voucher" model is expected to be rolled out.

The application of computing power reflects the demand of computing power development. At present, the application of computing power in China is to accelerate the expansion from traditional fields such as Internet and e-government to services, telecommunications, finance, manufacturing, education and other industries. In the field of general computing power, the internet industry is still the industry with the greatest demand for computing power, accounting for 39% of the total computing power; The telecommunications industry has strengthened its investment in computing infrastructure, and its share of computing power has surpassed that of the government industry for the first time, ranking second. In the field of intelligent computing power, the demand for data processing and model training in the internet industry is increasing, and it is the industry with the greatest demand for intelligent computing power, accounting for 53% of the share of intelligent computing power; The service industry has rapidly developed from the traditional model to the new smart model, and the share of computing power ranks second.

With the explosive growth of the number of terminals and data in the Internet of Things, network communication is under great pressure. In order to meet the real-time, security and business needs of large-scale connection, edge computing has become an important supplement to cloud computing. Edge computing deploys computing resources closer to the terminal equipment, so that data can be processed locally, thus reducing the delay of data transmission to the cloud for processing and the pressure of network bandwidth.The Action Plan proposes to speed up the construction of marginal computing power, strengthen the layout of industry computing power construction, and meet the application needs of industrial Internet, education, transportation, medical care, finance, energy and other industries.

In addition, the Action Plan proposes that in order to deepen the application of computing power to the industry, the cost and threshold of computing power will be reduced, the demand for computing power will be guaranteed, and the application of computing power in more production and life scenarios will be promoted. From the perspective of possible policy paths, the calculation voucher model is expected to be pushed forward in the future. Specifically, since the beginning of this year, many provinces and cities have reduced the cost and threshold of computing power by issuing vouchers:On January 12 this year, Chengdu issued the "Policies and Measures for Accelerating the Development of Computing Industry in Chengdu around Supercomputing Intelligence", proposing that Chengdu will issue "Computing Vouchers" with a total amount of no more than 10 million yuan each year; On July 31, Hangzhou issued the "Implementation Opinions of the General Office of Hangzhou Municipal People’s Government on Accelerating the Innovation and Development of Artificial Intelligence Industry", proposing that the city should set up a "calculation voucher" with a total amount of no more than 50 million yuan each year, focusing on supporting small and medium-sized enterprises to purchase calculation services; On July 11th, Beijing indicated that it would launch the first phase of subsidy of not less than 40 million yuan for calculating power vouchers to support model enterprises to reduce training costs.

5. Investment suggestions

October needs to focus on five tracks with marginal improvement:Integrated circuits (storage, packaging and testing, materials), digital economy (data elements, data confirmation), automobile intelligence (automatic driving), consumer electronics (panel, Apple Huawei industrial chain), nonferrous metals (copper and aluminum, coal, precious metals).
