Main Body

Market analysts have high hopes for investments following the self-sufficiency theme. This initiative is seen as a vital barrier to external economic threats, particularly in light of April's unfavorable global trade conditions. Within this context, enhanced domestic production is crucial, and the momentum for self-sufficient sectors is building.

According to the Securities Times and data sources, 19 potent self-sufficiency stocks have come to the forefront. These stocks were selected by filtering A-share companies (excluding those listed on the North Exchange) with more than five institutional ratings since 2025, and research reports featuring the keyword 'self-sufficiency' as of May 9.

Performance in the secondary market reveals that most stocks have outpaced the Shanghai Composite Index this year. Notably, Shuanglin, BGI Genomics, Iory Technology, and Ri Lian Technology have experienced growth exceeding 30% year-to-date. Shuanglin leads with a staggering 175.65% increase, thanks to its offerings in interior and exterior vehicle components, intelligent control systems, and energy solutions. Huaxin Securities indicates that Shuanglin's acquisition of Wuxi Kezhixin solidifies its capabilities in manufacturing precision planetary roller screws.

Institutional interest remains high, with companies like North Huachuang garnering significant attention. Rated by 32 institutions, its product line spans from semiconductor and vacuum equipment to resistors and capacitors. In its 2024 annual report, North Huachuang emphasized its self-sufficient supply chain strategy that has yielded positive results. Huajin Securities maintains a 'buy' rating, highlighting the company's potential to capitalize on rising demand and domestic production acceleration.

Seven stocks, including Cambrian-U, North Huachuang, Hai Guang Information, Ko Da Xunfei, China Chemical, Zhongci Electronics, and Shuanglin, have surpassed expectations according to first-quarter earnings reports. China Chemical, boasting the lowest rolling P/E ratio of 7.76, is a leader in the chemical engineering and construction fields, enhancing its valuation prospects under the self-sufficiency narrative. Similarly, Zhongci Electronics stands as a major supplier for key technologies with impressive stock performance and promising long-term growth.

Two standout stocks witnessing significant institutional inflows are Cambrian-U and Hai Guang Information, with net purchases exceeding 50 million RMB since April. Cambrian-U's revenue of 11.11 billion RMB represents a 42.3-fold year-on-year increase, driving its 12.36% April stock increase. Guotai Haitong Securities cites the company's strong earnings momentum amid growing CSP and AI chip demands. Furthermore, Cambrian-U's recent funding plan highlights its focus on software and chip platforms to meet evolving market needs, suggesting a bright future for these strategic endeavors.
