The core driver behind China First Heavy Industries’ latest limit-up is concentrated market speculation around the ‘controllable nuclear fusion’ concept. Recently, several major positive catalysts have emerged in this field:

: The Institute of Plasma Physics, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences announced that the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) successfully verified the existence of a density free regime in tokamaks, finding a way to break through density limits, providing important physical basis for high-density operation of magnetic confinement nuclear fusion devices [3][4]. This technological progress has been interpreted by the market as a key breakthrough in the commercialization of controllable nuclear fusion.

: The Atomic Energy Law of the People’s Republic of China will officially take effect on January 15, 2026. The law explicitly proposes to ‘encourage and support the development of controlled thermonuclear fusion’, providing clear legal support and policy guarantees for the industry [3][4].

: The 2026 Nuclear Fusion Energy Technology and Industry Conference will be held in Hefei, Anhui from January 16 to 17, 2026, and the market is full of expectations for potential positive information to be released at the conference [5][6].

The controllable nuclear fusion concept sector has shown a strong upward trend. On January 7, 6 concept stocks including China Nuclear Engineering, Snowman Group, and China National Machinery Heavy Equipment hit limit-ups, while stocks like YJ Electric and Zhongtai Co., Ltd. rose by more than 6% [4]. On January 8, the concept sector index rose over 3% on heavy volume, hitting a new historical high for the 4th consecutive trading day [4]. Since January, controllable nuclear fusion concept stocks have risen by an average of 13.74%, with Hongxun Technology, Tianli Composite, and China Nuclear Engineering among others posting cumulative gains of over 30% [5][6]. As a stock categorized by the market as a ‘controllable nuclear fusion’ concept stock, China First Heavy Industries has fully benefited from the sector’s overall strong performance.

Despite the market’s high attention to the company’s ‘controllable nuclear fusion’ concept, the company has issued risk warning announcements on January 8 and 9, explicitly clarifying that: daily production and operation activities are normal, and there have been no major adjustments to its main business, market environment, or industry policies; although the company is listed as a ‘controllable nuclear fusion’ concept stock,

[1][2][7]. None of the company’s directors, senior management, or controlling shareholders have engaged in illegal trading of the company’s stock.

From the intraday trend, China First Heavy Industries opened at RMB 5.70 on the day, hit a low of RMB 5.55, and reached the limit-up price of RMB 5.95, finally closing at the limit-up level [0].

From the short-term gain perspective, the stock has shown a staggering upward momentum:

• 5-Day Gain: +45.48%
• January-to-Date Gain: +52.96%
• 3-Month Gain: +90.10%
• 1-Year Gain: +121.19% [0]

: The current price (RMB 5.95) significantly deviates from key moving averages — the 20-day moving average (RMB 4.19), 50-day moving average (RMB 3.62), and 200-day moving average (RMB 3.06), showing a severe deviation [0]. Such rapid and sharp gains are often accompanied by high correction risks.

The daily trading volume reached 382 million shares,

the average daily volume of 149 million shares, indicating extremely high capital participation [0]. A limit-up on heavy volume suggests exuberant market sentiment, but investors need to be wary of potential capital flight after such a move. Historical experience shows that if trading volume cannot be maintained after consecutive limit-ups on heavy volume, it often signals the formation of a short-term top.

: Controllable nuclear fusion is hailed by the market as the ‘ultimate solution for the energy revolution’, and its clean, unlimited energy characteristics provide huge imagination space for investors. Coupled with the continuous rise in global capital attention to this field — total global investment in the fusion industry soared from USD 1.9 billion in 2021 to USD 9.7 billion in 2024 — further strengthening the market’s bullish sentiment [3][4].

: The upcoming implementation of the Atomic Energy Law and the imminent holding of the Nuclear Fusion Industry Conference provide a solid event catalyst foundation for concept speculation.

: Multiple stocks in the sector have hit consecutive limit-ups, forming obvious sector linkage effects and market profit-making effects, attracting more off-market capital to enter the market.

: The company has issued consecutive risk warning announcements, emphasizing that no revenue has been generated from controllable nuclear fusion-related products, and there have been no major changes to the company’s daily operating conditions [1][2][7]. This means the current stock price increase lacks substantive fundamental support.

: The net profit in Q3 2025 was -RMB 78.5995 million, and the company is in a state of operating loss [0][1]. From a valuation perspective, the company’s P/E ratio is -11.44 times (due to losses), P/B ratio reaches 7.74 times, and ROE is -68.45%, indicating high valuation levels and worrying profitability [0].

: The company acknowledges that ‘the actual volatility after excluding the overall market impact is relatively large’, reminding investors to pay attention to secondary market trading risks and make rational decisions [1][2].
