Ideas
Shihao Li Asia strategist, CITIC CLSA 7:56
Buy China domestic semis after correction.
Following a healthy correction and deleveraging in the crowded AI trade, the domestic semiconductor supply chain offers a very attractive buying opportunity, supported by China's self-sufficiency drive, heavy state backing, massive AI capex by tech giants, and attractive valuations.
Ming Lee Head of Greater China Automotive and Industrials Research, BofA 59:10
Energy storage drives CATL growth.
Energy storage system demand is strong and will grow to 40% of CATL's revenue, EV exports remain robust, raw material prices are stabilizing, and sodium-ion batteries provide future margin support, driving CATL's earnings growth.

Regulatory cloud over Trip.com lifted.
The antitrust fine and resolution of the regulatory probe remove a major overhang on Trip.com, which had been a cloud of uncertainty over the stock, likely allowing it to recover.
Pascal CEO, Boiron 76:00
China expansion drives Boiron growth.
Boiron is rapidly expanding in China through e-commerce and social commerce, with its China business now the fifth-largest globally and expected to become number two or three, driven by strong demand for skincare and food supplements.
