That&#8217;s according to Morgan Stanley&#8217;s Singapore and Hong Kong-based equity strategists, who expect investors to return to themes from earlier in the year around the artificial intelligence supply chain. They also expect greater interest in more recent themes. &#8220;Regardless of the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, spending on energy security, defense and renewables will likely remain robust,&#8221; the strategists said in an April 8 note. Morgan Stanley sees broad upside for China stocks this year, albeit with &#8220;high uncertainty&#8221; in the months ahead. Following news Wednesday morning Asia time of a two-week ceasefire , the mainland China CSI 300 stock index and the Hang Seng Index rose over 4% and 3%, respectively, in a holiday-shortened week. To identify stock opportunities, the strategists screened for Asia Pacific companies generating more than 5% of their revenue from the Middle East, and which had fallen by more than 5% from the end of February to April 7. &#8220;While the Middle East conflict may be just one driver of their respective share price corrections, we see the list as potentially benefiting from a de-escalation and gradual improvement in supply chains,&#8221; the report said. The screen looked at regional stocks that Morgan Stanley rates overweight or equal weight. For China, the three names that had fallen more than 10% during the time of the study were: Horizon Robotics \u2014 The Hong Kong-listed automotive chipmaker sources about 10% of its total revenue from the Middle East. The overweight-rated stock fell 16% in the study period. Zoomlion Heavy Industry \u2014The Hong Kong-listed construction equipment company generates about 10% of its revenue from the Middle East. The overweight-rated stock tumbled 15% over the study period. Suzhou TFC Optical Communication \u2014 The Shenzhen-listed company sells parts and manufacturing solutions for producing the optical components used in artificial intelligence chips, for example. The company generates about 7% of its revenue from the Middle East. The equal-weight stock fell 10.9% during the period of the study. &#8220;For China, we expect to see resilience in Industrials and Renewable Energy names gain investor attention, as the demand outlook for [energy storage system]-backed cleantech solutions potentially faces a step change higher,&#8221; the Morgan Stanley report said. &#8220;Overall, China has been relatively defensive in down-markets, with its energy security position a strength,&#8221; the report said. &#8220;However, the deflationary backdrop and still defensive consumer and fiscal outlook leave headwinds in place for earnings delivery.&#8221; The oil price surge helped push China&#8217;s factory prices higher in March for the first time in three years, but a consumer price increase of 1% was still softer than analyst expectations. China is due to report March trade data on Tuesday and first-quarter GDP on Thursday.<\/span><\/span><\/span><span class=\"HighlightShare-hidden\" style=\"top:0;left:0\"><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2026\/04\/12\/morgan-stanley-chinese-stocks-that-can-recover-on-iran-ceasefire.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A ceasefire in the Iran war signals a path toward a de-escalation of geopolitical tensions \u2014 and an opportunity to re-engage in Asia stocks.
