At present, the disclosure in the mid-year report of listed companies in 2020 has also ended. The performance of leading enterprises in the construction machinery industry chain in the first half of the year has grown gratifyingly. The net profits of the leading OEMs Sany and Zoomlion increased by 25.5% and 56.0% respectively. Leading Hengli Hydraulics net profit attributable to its parent increased by 47.0% year-on-year. Wanlian Securities believes that the outstanding performance of the interim report confirms the high prosperity of the construction machinery industry.

REITs are getting closer and will provide support for expanding financing channels for infrastructure projects and reducing financing costs.

Pacific Securities judges that the sales of the construction machinery industry in the second half of the year are expected to continue to exceed expectations, and the annual sales of excavators are expected to exceed 300,000 units, an increase of more than 25% year-on-year.
