Keywords: Crude Oil Price, Air Travel, AI Video Creation, Autonomous Driving, Glass Substrate, Multispectral AI, Share Buyback
Under the interplay of global macroeconomics and industrial transformation, multiple sectors with structural opportunities have emerged in capital markets. From international oil prices breaking below key support levels, lowering air travel costs, to iterative upgrades of AI video creation tools, commercialization of autonomous driving, and breakthroughs in high-end manufacturing, investors are facing a window for long-term positioning. This article focuses on the above key areas, combining institutional views and the latest corporate developments, to deeply analyze current investment themes.
Oil Price Decline Boosts Aviation Recovery, Travel Demand Expected to Improve Substantially
The international crude oil market has seen significant volatility recently. Due to improved conditions in the Strait of Hormuz and a stronger US dollar index, Brent crude briefly touched $73.12, its lowest level since February 27; US WTI crude futures also fell below the $70 per barrel psychological mark for the first time since March 2. Since fuel costs account for the largest share of airline operating expenses, the drop in oil prices is undoubtedly an immediate positive for the aviation industry.
Changjiang Securities noted that with the end of the Gaokao and the approaching summer travel peak season, demand for private travel is expected to show marginal improvement. Combined with the significant month-on-month decline in crude oil prices, fuel surcharges will face a substantial reduction, further stimulating the recovery of travel demand. Related stocks such as China Eastern Airlines (00670), China Southern Airlines (01055), Air China (00753), and Cathay Pacific Airways (00293) are expected to see valuation recovery driven by both cost reduction and demand release. For investors, focusing on phased opportunities in the aviation sector, especially the resonance between peak season effects and low oil prices, is crucial.

Among them, Kuaishou and Meitu both hold technological leadership in multimodal AI and have formed clear commercialization paths. As large model capabilities expand from text to video and image generation, the content creation industry chain will undergo profound reshaping. Companies with underlying model capabilities and closed-loop application scenarios will continue to benefit from industry dividends.
Autonomous Driving Commercialization Accelerates, Youjia Innovation Secures Batch Orders
The autonomous driving sector has brought more good news. On June 24, Youjia Innovation (02431) announced the formal signing of a sales contract for unmanned logistics vehicles with an independent third-party enterprise in Henan Province, reaching a procurement cooperation of 500 unmanned logistics vehicles, along with supporting autonomous driving technology services. These products will mainly be applied in scenarios such as campus logistics, supermarket distribution, and last-mile delivery, promoting the adoption of autonomous driving technology in Henan's smart logistics sector.
The signing of this batch order is a milestone for Youjia Innovation. Currently, its "Xiaozhu" series unmanned vehicles have footprints across multiple cities in Henan, including Jiyuan, Luoyang, Anyang, and Xinyang. In Jiyuan, the first-generation model Xiaozhu T5 has been operating routinely in real commercial scenarios such as urban distribution and fresh food delivery. In Luoyang, the new model Xiaozhu T5 Pro, leveraging "true mapless" technology, has demonstrated stable and smooth driving performance under complex road conditions. This progress not only validates the company's commercialization capabilities in nationwide deployment but also provides a replicable model for the smart logistics industry.
High-End Manufacturing and New Energy Dual Drivers: Weichai Power and Lens Technology at Critical Junctures
Weichai Power (02338) recently attracted attention from Morgan Stanley. The bank's report pointed out that the company's main power product (gas turbine) is progressing faster than expected, with the first product expected to launch by end of June 2026, customer verification brought forward, and small-batch delivery moved from the original Q4 to Q3 2026. It is estimated that shipments will reach at least 200 units in 2026 and surge to 1,000 units in 2027. The company's pricing strategy is 5% to 10% lower than mainstream competitors to capture market share. In terms of capacity expansion, AIDC engine capacity will reach 5,000 units in 2026 and expand to 8,000-10,000 units (including overseas capacity) in 2027 to meet persistently strong market demand. Morgan Stanley believes the recent stock price pullback has created a buying window, with the core logic being the explosive growth of AIDC backup power and main gas engines, as well as the potential upside of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC).
Another highly watched company is Lens Technology (06613). Recently, CCTV Financial Channel focused on the company, confirming that it has overcome the mass production barriers for AI glass substrates (TGV) in micro-hole manufacturing and metal filling. On a 510×515 mm ultra-thin brittle glass panel, Lens Technology precisely drilled 3 million micron-level through-holes, achieving 100% penetration with extremely smooth hole walls. The company's 30,000-square-meter dedicated plant and supporting production lines are expected to be fully operational by end of 2026, and samples have already been sent to multiple leading domestic and international chip and packaging customers for testing. Guosen Securities noted that with the rapid growth of AI computing demand, glass substrates, with low dielectric loss, high flatness, and a thermal expansion coefficient similar to silicon, are expected to become an important solution in advanced packaging. Lens Technology has seized the first-mover advantage in this field and possesses strong technical barriers.
