The automotive sector's structural alpha is driving market stabilization and rebound, with automotive ETF (516110) rising over 1.2%, and net inflows of nearly 100 million yuan yesterday.

CITIC Construction Investment points out that after the automotive sector’s cyclical bottoming, there is a structural alpha-driven trend supporting a stabilization and rebound. In the commercial vehicle segment, since the beginning of the year, heavy trucks and buses continue to see sales supported by high export growth, and overall, Q1 performance is expected to achieve a “good start.” In 2026, heavy trucks and buses are expected to benefit from policy support for domestic demand and sustained overseas market prosperity. For passenger vehicles, retail sales in February are expected to have bottomed out, with exports (especially new energy vehicles) exceeding expectations. Starting in March, the sector’s prosperity is expected to gradually recover; high-end features and exports remain the strongest performance drivers. The physical AI sector (intelligent driving and robotics) will see 2026 as the year of commercial-scale unmanned driving and mass production of humanoid robots, with Tesla’s progress and supply chain developments being market focal points.

The Automotive ETF (516110) tracks the 800 Automotive Index (H30015), which selects representative companies in the automotive-related industries as constituents, covering vehicle manufacturing, parts supply, and automotive services, to reflect the overall performance of the automotive industry.
