Deep News
Mar 19

Today (March 19), the market experienced consolidation, with major A-share indices all in negative territory. The Science and Technology Innovation Artificial Intelligence ETF (589520), which focuses on the domestic AI industry chain, followed the broader market downward, trading below its previous close. Its intraday price fell by 2.1%. Notably, the ETF has frequently traded at a premium, indicating stronger buying interest, suggesting potential capital inflows to position on dips.

Among its constituents, Zhongke Star Map and UCloud-W rose against the market trend, while the remaining 28 stocks declined. Transwarp Technology-U led the losses, falling over 8%, followed by Anlogic Technology and Fudan Microelectronics Group, both down more than 4%, weighing on the index performance.

On the news front, Alibaba Cloud announced price increases of up to 34% for its AI computing power and storage products. On the same day, Baidu Intelligent Cloud issued a notice adjusting prices for its AI computing power and storage offerings. Prices for AI computing-related services were raised by approximately 5%-30%, while parallel file storage saw increases of around 30%.

The current model market is expanding and accelerating monetization, with the Token industry chain becoming a new core focus. Changjiang Securities believes that models have entered an era of demand. As the user base grows, the Token explosion directly drives demand for inference computing power and cloud services. Looking at specific verticals, AI application products in areas like tools, social media, and entertainment are expected to benefit from continuous improvements in model capabilities.

The institution recommends focusing on: 1) The model side: revaluation driven by the explosion in Token/MaaS revenue; 2) Domestic computing power: potential supply relief and accelerated monetization as demand reaches an inflection point; 3) Cloud services and IDC; 4) Applications: seeking high-value, high-barrier, and high-monetization varieties in scenarios such as taxation and industrial applications.
