1. Precise Positioning in the Industry Cycle: Strategic Shift from “Maturity” to “Explosion” Phase1. Storage Chips: Concerns After a Short-Term FeastAfter Zhang Mengzhu’s significant investment in storage chips on November 10 (with investments of 149 million in Shengong Co. and 79.63 million in Demingli), he quickly shifted focus, reflecting a precise judgment on the turning point of the industry cycle:– Short-term gains have reached their limit: The storage chip index peaked in early November and quickly retreated, falling to 1,714 points on November 14, down over 3.7% from the high of 1,781 points on November 11, with many stocks in the sector experiencing significant declines.– Valuation bubble: The PE ratio of the storage chip sector reached 155 times, and the PB ratio was 6.1 times, far exceeding historical averages, with leading stocks like Shengong Co. already overvalued based on future performance growth over the next 2-3 years.– Signals of easing supply-demand conflicts: Although major manufacturers like Samsung and Micron are still shifting capacity to HBM, small-scale expansion plans have been released in November, and supply tightness is expected to gradually ease by Q1 2026.2. Robotics Sector: Commercialization Singularity is EmergingStarting November 11, Zhang Mengzhu has fully committed to the robotics sector (with cumulative investments of over 150 million in Fangzheng Electric and over 110 million in World), targeting the critical window before industry explosion:– Tesla’s Optimus production timeline is clear: The shareholder meeting confirmed a production capacity of 50,000 to 100,000 units by 2026, reaching 1 million units by 2027, with supply chain orders already being released.– Strong support from the “14th Five-Year Plan”: On November 10, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology released the “Robot+” application action plan, aiming for key technological breakthroughs and mass production by 2025, with over 5 billion in support for core technology development.– Increased maturity of the industry chain: The costs of core components (reducers, motors, controllers) have decreased by 30%-50%, with domestic companies achieving technological breakthroughs, meeting performance standards, and showing significant price advantages.2. Performance Realization Certainty: Transition from “Expectation Speculation” to “Real Orders”1. Storage Chips: High growth is hard to sustain– Shengong Co.: Although net profit surged by 158.93% year-on-year in Q3, with a gross margin of 50.6%, this was mainly due to short-term price increases in HBM materials, raising doubts about sustainability.– Increased industry differentiation: November financial reports from storage chip companies show that only HBM-related companies performed well, while traditional storage chip manufacturers struggled for growth, leading Zhang Mengzhu to take profits at the performance peak.2. Robotics Sector: Performance explosion is expectedFangzheng Electric, heavily invested by Zhang Mengzhu, shows a clear path for performance growth:– New energy vehicle motor business: Revenue exceeded 2 billion in the first three quarters, with net profit increasing over 153 times year-on-year, and capacity utilization exceeding 90%, demonstrating significant scale effects.– Robotic joint module business: Has obtained 56 patents, expected to contribute 300-500 million in revenue by 2025, with a gross margin exceeding 40%, which will drive an overall gross margin increase of 5-8 percentage points.– Upgraded customer resources: Has entered the supply chains of Xiaomi, Huawei, and Tesla’s Optimus, with the value of a single robotic motor reaching several thousand yuan. If Tesla produces 100,000 units in 2026, corresponding revenue could reach several hundred million.3. Capital Flow and Market Sentiment: Capturing the Shift from “Consistent Expectations” to “Expectation Differences”1. Storage Chips: Clear signs of profit-taking– On November 13, Zhang Mengzhu completely sold off Shengong Co. (61.04 million), resonating with northbound funds that net sold over 1.2 billion in the storage sector on November 14, indicating a shift in attitude from large funds towards the sector.– The activity of quantitative funds has decreased, with data showing that after November 12, the participation of speculative funds in the storage chip sector has significantly declined, indicating a drop in interest.2. Robotics Sector: Continuous influx of incremental funds– In November, the scale of robotics-themed funds surged by 200%, with Zhang Mengzhu’s layout aligning with institutional funds to jointly boost sector interest.– From November 9-11, robotics industry chain companies secured nearly 4 billion in financing, with multiple 1 billion-level financings completed, accelerating the layout of industrial capital.– Zhang Mengzhu excels in laying out in areas with the greatest “expectation differences”; the robotics sector is currently transitioning from “concept to performance realization,” with market perceptions not yet aligned, presenting significant expectation differences.4. Position in the Industry Chain and Competitive Barriers: Value Migration from “High-End Materials” to “Core Actuators”1. Storage Chips: Intense competition for upstream materials– Although companies like Shengong Co. have technological barriers, they face dual competition from overseas giants and domestic peers, resulting in a not wide enough moat.– Although HBM materials are currently in short supply, with technology diffusion expected to intensify competition by 2026, profit margins may decline.2. Robotics Sector: Strong barriers for core actuatorsBoth Fangzheng Electric and World, chosen by Zhang Mengzhu, are positioned in high-value segments of the robotics industry chain:– Fangzheng Electric: Focuses on humanoid robot joint motors, with high technological barriers (holding 56 patents), and the value of a single unit accounts for up to 30%, serving as the “heart” of robotic motion control.– World: Provides high-precision processing tools for core robotic components (planetary roller screw, RV reducer), addressing industry pain points, and has entered Tesla’s Optimus supply chain.– Synergistic advantages in the industry chain: The combination of motors and tools creates a complete ecosystem of “manufacturing + application,” enabling sustained benefits during the wave of humanoid robot mass production.5. Evolution of Zhang Mengzhu’s Investment Philosophy: From “Short-Term Speculation” to a Three-Dimensional Layout of “Industry Trends + Performance + Capital”1. Qualitative Change in Operating StyleThis strategic shift marks the maturity of Zhang Mengzhu’s investment system:– From speculative trading to sector layout: No longer limited to short-term speculation, but deeply researching industry trends and preemptively laying out in high-prosperity sectors.– From single-point bets to full industry chain layout: Constructing a complete ecosystem of “motor (Fangzheng Electric) + equipment (World) + application (Shoukai Co. robotics park)” to reduce single risks.– From technical analysis to resonance of fundamentals + capital: November operations clearly reflect a three-dimensional decision-making process of “industry trends + performance realization + capital flow,” aligning with institutional investment thinking while maintaining the flexibility of speculative funds.2. Unique Understanding of the “Robotics Sector”Zhang Mengzhu is optimistic about the robotics sector for four core reasons:– “AI + Robotics” integration: The combination of large model technology and humanoid robots upgrades robots from “programmed operations” to “autonomous decision-making,” leading to explosive growth in application scenarios.– Changes in labor structure: Increasing population aging + rising labor costs in manufacturing make “machine replacement” a necessity, with the humanoid robot market space reaching hundreds of billions of units.– China’s advantages in the industry chain: The cost of core components in China is 20%-30% lower than abroad, and as scale increases, the gap is expected to widen, with China likely to capture 40% of the global market share.– Accelerated technological iteration: Improved training efficiency of AI large models significantly shortens the R&D cycle of robots, reduces development costs, and accelerates commercialization.The core insight from Zhang Mengzhu’s strategic shiftThe strategic transition from storage chips to the robotics sector essentially represents an optimization of asset allocation from “high-risk, high-volatility cyclical stocks” to “high-certainty, high-growth growth stocks.” This operation reveals the keen insight and grasp of top-tier speculative funds regarding the turning points in the industry cycle.Insights for investors include:1. Focus on the industry lifecycle: Prioritize layouts in sectors transitioning from “introduction to growth” and avoid industries already in the “maturity to decline” phase.2. Emphasize performance realization certainty: After the tide of conceptual speculation recedes, those with clear performance growth paths are the ones that can sustain increases.3. Grasp policy and industry resonance points: The explosion of the robotics sector is inseparable from the resonance of the “14th Five-Year Plan” and the mass production plans of leading companies like Tesla.4. Layout in core segments of the industry chain: In the robotics field, core components like joint motors, reducers, and controllers hold the highest value and the most solid competitive barriers.Zhang Mengzhu’s strategic shift is not only a successful investment operation but also a vivid lesson in industrial investment, teaching us that true top-tier investment dances with industrial transformation, seizing certain opportunities in the tide of the times.
