Week 14 of 2026 | A Major Rebound in the AI Industry Chain

Have you noticed? This week’s top-performing leading stocks weren’t driven by individual stock-specific alpha factors, but rather by broad-based beta growth across specific sub-sectors—and the overarching theme behind these sub-sectors is AI (Artificial Intelligence). Amid improving global market sentiment, the AI sector has demonstrated strong elasticity. Now, let’s look at the underperformers: In fact, there wasn’t much downside this week—most stocks simply didn’t rise because they’re unconnected to the AI industry chain. And without gains, they inevitably underperformed relative to the broader index. Since we’re on the topic, let’s briefly review the latest developments in these sectors: 1. Hengli Hydraulic: Construction machinery sector: Domestic sales grew over 20% YoY in March—exceeding expectations. April is traditionally a peak season, so growth is likely to remain robust. Overseas shipments were exceptionally busy in March, especially in Africa, where demand far outstrips supply. Hengli’s Q1 outlook is relatively positive, primarily driven by outstanding performance of excavator components and a stable-to-rising gross margin. Like Sany Heavy Industry, its core operational performance is solid; however, RMB appreciation will inevitably generate some foreign exchange losses. 2. Fuyao Glass: Domestic auto sales face pressure, while overseas exports are surging. Fuyao is one of the few automotive component suppliers with overseas production capacity. A foreign brokerage report expects Fuyao’s Q1 performance to be relatively stable, for three reasons: First, its revenue growth outpaces the overall auto market, largely due to its strong presence in premium vehicle models—segments less affected by subsidy adjustments; Second, rising natural gas and shipping costs have yet to impact earnings—thanks partly to its overseas production footprint (its U.S. plant began operations in 2016 and turned profitable in 2017); Third, foreign exchange impacts remain significant: although much of Fuyao’s overseas business is settled directly in foreign currencies, translation effects still result in apparent FX losses on financial statements. 3. Orient Cable: A sell-side analyst compiled offshore wind tendering activity across Europe over the past month—here’s what stands out: UK: AR8 project set to launch this summer (2026), targeting 5–8 GW; Netherlands: Gamma project expanded to 2 GW in April 2026 (1 GW each for Phases A and B); France: A09 + A10 projects totaling 10 GW in 2026—compared to just 1.5 GW for last year’s A08; Denmark: €5 billion in CfD subsidies approved; two projects totaling 1 GW + 0.8 GW; Germany: Revised Offshore Wind Energy Act in 2026; plans to restart 6 GW, 3 GW, and 2 GW in 2027, 2028, and 2029 respectively. In summary, European offshore wind progress is exceptionally strong—and amid global energy shortages, Europe’s appetite for new energy is intensifying. Offshore wind is already a mature clean-energy solution there, creating strong export opportunities for Chinese manufacturers with proven international capabilities. That wraps up this week’s overview. Against the backdrop of easing Middle East tensions, global capital markets rebounded—A-shares performed well too, with broad-market indices surging 4–5%. Within manufacturing, performance was mixed, though most stocks broadly tracked index returns. Some new readers have asked about the purpose of our weekend articles—so tonight, let’s clarify briefly: It’s important to emphasize that value investing operates on a long-term horizon. Truly excellent companies often don’t require monthly—or even weekly—data tracking. Yet as participants in the secondary market, every day involves real money, and readers naturally want to understand the drivers behind price moves. Hence, a concise weekend summary strikes just the right balance. The companies listed in our table represent leading players across various manufacturing sub-sectors. Tracking their fortunes offers a reliable barometer of current market sentiment and industrial health.
