As China’s air pollution has obvious seasonal characteristics, fog and haze weather frequently happen in North China in each winter. The country is increasingly strengthening efforts in environmental protection for a long time and often introduces policies in environmental protection industry. Industrial insiders are widely rosy about the growing potential of the industry and think that it is time to make deployment in environmental protection stocks.
Capital flow may prove this view. According to information of market research center of Securities Daily based on statistics from Hithink RoyalFlush Information Network Co., Ltd., nearly 800 million yuan has flowed into environmental protection stocks since December. Galaxy Biomedical Investment Co., Ltd., Focused Photonics (Hangzhou), Inc., Changzhou Tenglong Auto Parts Co., Ltd., Kaier New Materials, Guangdong Chant Group Inc. and COFCO Biochemical (Anhui) all have gained order with capital more than 20 million yuan.

As for this, many securities companies including Kaiyuan Securities Co., Ltd., Dongxing Securities Company Limited and Guotai Junan Securities Co., Ltd. believe that the country will pay more attention to this industry in 2017. With acceleration in implementation of PPP projects, this industry is expected to embrace a new round of investment opportunity.
In fact, many PPP projects related to environmental protection have been set up and approved in recent years. Relevant enterprises become stronger while participating in project operation. Due to characteristics with great demand, small investment amount and scattered investment of environmental protection project, private enterprises are more passionate to join in than state-owned enterprises. Many high-quality private listed companies with impressive profit and good performance emerge in this field.
Dongxing Securities predicts that environment governance effect will become a primary goal of environmental protection work during the 13th Five-year Plan period and PPP will be an important means to realize this goal. Based on release of PPP projects, frequent introduction of policy, support from guiding funds and huge potential in this industry, it is forecast that driven by demonstration projects of Ministry of Finance and promotion projects of National Development and Reform Commission, 2017 and 2018 will see extensive signing contracts of PPP projects, and platform companies and leading companies will be benefited from this. Firstly, during process of undertaking project, platform companies will directly gain benefits as they are advantageous in capital, qualification and financing ability. It is suggested to keep eyes on Originwater Technology, Nanfang Zhongjin Environment Co., Ltd., Yueyang Forest & Paper Co., Ltd. and Beijing Orient Landscape & Environment Co., Ltd. Secondly, during the process of project operation, local governments make payment based on governance effect and leading firms in segmented fields with technology and management advantage will welcome rapid development. It is suggested to focus on Chengdu Techcent Environment Co., Ltd., Shenzhen Huakong Seg Co., Ltd. and Tianjin Motimo Membrane Technology Co., Ltd.
