UBS Group's China Internet Research Director Fang Jincang stated that participants in the mainland internet industry have been relatively optimistic about the industry's outlook in recent weeks. He explained that although macro policies are being implemented one after another, it will take some time for consumer confidence to recover. However, various departments at the central level are coordinating to stimulate the mainland economy. Fang Jincang mentioned that in September, mainland retail sales (especially in the home appliance sector) showed significant growth, mainly benefiting from mainland's 'trade-in' policy, the appreciation of the Japanese yen driving domestic consumption in China, and shopping mall promotional activities. Fang Jincang expects the earnings per share growth of the mainland internet industry to be around in the next two to three years.
