2024-04-11 03:46:05

Airline pairs EVA Air (2618), China Airlines (2610) and tourism stocks surged sharply early today (11th). EVA Air has exceeded 100,000 before 11 o’clock, and both China Airlines and China Airlines have increased by 3 or 4 from the previous day. More than doubled growth. Senior securities analyst Xu Bojie said in an interview in the morning that it was mainly driven by Xi Jinping’s words during the Ma-Xi meeting that he “would like to see more mainland people visit the motherland’s treasured island”, which triggered the association of cross-strait aviation demand.

Former President Ma Ying-jeou met with Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, in Beijing yesterday afternoon. Xi Jinping said that compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are Chinese and “I would like to see more mainland people visiting the motherland’s treasured island.” This was interpreted as showing goodwill between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, and it was also associated with the future. When mainland tourists come to Taiwan, the demand for tourist accommodation and air tickets will increase. This morning, shipping stocks and tourism stocks both surged, and the trading volume of aviation stocks was astonishing.

EVA Air and China Airlines opened higher this morning and continued to rise. EVA Air sold a large number of 130,000 tickets before 12 o’clock, and China Airlines also had a trading volume of close to 50,000 tickets. Compared with the previous day’s trading volume of 32,000 and 11,000 tickets, at least There is a growth of 3 to 4 times, with an increase of about 2 to 3%.

Expert analysis: Shipping prices are not good, shipping depends on new ETF to raise airline stocks, short-term horse-Xihui meeting

Analyst Xu Bojie said that today’s surge in tourism and aviation stocks is a reflection of Xi Jinping’s remarks during the Ma-Xi meeting that he “would like to see mainland compatriots come to visit the motherland’s treasured island”, which has the flavor of breaking the ice. As for shipping stocks such as Evergreen (2603) and Xinxing (2605), why have freight rates increased recently despite poor prices? He said that it may be because the market is expecting that four high-dividend ETFs will be raised again in mid- to late April, and some people will enter the market first, and buying orders will heat up.

As for the topic of the meeting between Ma and Xi Jinping, I am afraid that it is mainly short-term. Xu Bojie believes that after President Lai Qingde’s inauguration speech on May 20, the CCP may not show much goodwill, so it will probably only be a few days.

However, he said that the fundamentals of airline stocks are not bad, and their performance in March and the first quarter was not bad. Therefore, if you look further ahead, you can buy them if they pull back. You don’t have to follow the theme in the short term, but you can plan for the long term.
