Data centers are mainly built in response to the growing customer demand. However, the areas for the development and operation of data centers are identified based on factors such as power availability, fiber connectivity, and the availability of skilled labor. Most of the data centers in recent years are being built as per Tier III and Tier IV standards, thereby enabling high availability of service offerings. The emergence of edge computing is fostering data center development in secondary data center markets, where the dependence on site selection is very high. The major site selection criteria for data centers are mentioned in the table below along with the identified level of importance for each criterion and a description of the same.

The drilling machines are particularly used for reaming, counter boring, and tapping holes in metals, woods and walls. The machines used in heavy metal machines parts are expensive and have long life as compared to small hand-held portable drilling machines used in carpenter workshop and homes. Machines used in drilling includes vertical drilling machines, horizontal drilling machines, center-drilling machines, gang drilling machines, multiple-spindle drilling machines, and special-purpose drilling machines. Operating on metal or wood piece requires various combination which comprises of one-and two-sided jig boring machines, drilling-tapping machines, milling-type drilling machines and drilling-mortising machines, and automatic drilling machines.

The growing electricity prices along with stringent energy consumption regulations are likely to propel the demand for electric AC motors over the coming years. The increasing number of construction activities across the globe is also expected to act as a key factor for market growth. Moreover, the increasing standards for the enhancement of efficiency and design are impelling manufacturers to design and produce energy efficient motors. Rapid industrialization is also a significant factor anticipated to fuel the demand for these motors.

海上风电加速核准，万亿投资逐渐开启。2018 年是海上风电的核准大年，据不完全统计，目前在建、已核准待建和处于核准前公示阶段的海上风电项目总规模达到49.3GW，对应的投资计划9300 亿元，考虑2019 年仍将有部分项目获得核准，可期待的未来即将开发的海上风电项目投资规模近万亿元，这些储备项目奠定了国内海上风电加快发展的基础。

叉车由于门槛较低、竞争环境激烈等原因，在A 股机械公司中一直关注度较低，然而，叉车市场却是个不折不扣的大市场，2017 年全球叉车销量133 万台，年市场空间超千亿，是仅次于挖掘机的工程机械子行业。

混凝土机械广泛用于工程建设，中国企业垄断全球千亿市场。砼机可用于混凝土施工的全流程，常见应用有建筑地基浇筑、钢混结构建筑物浇筑、桥梁浇筑、地铁车站浇筑、机场浇筑、农田小水利浇筑、预制混凝土结构件浇筑等场景。

指数震荡下行，估值进入 历史 底部区间；基建投资将发力，轨道交通建设景气上行。

补贴退出后新能源汽车平价时代提前到来。本文以荣威Ei5 和i5 车型为例测算产品全生命周期平价模型。重要结论：在补贴完全退出的情况下，电池系统成本在1200 元/kWh 左右（模组成本预计在1000 元/kWh），初始购臵价差约55600元，全生命周期使用费用价差约56960 元，基本可以实现全生命周期平价，产品真正开始市场化的临界转折点预计会在2019 年提前到来。

2018年以来，工业企业利润增速下滑叠加金融调杠杆，中游制造业投资意愿及能力相对削弱，全年来看机械设备行业相对收益仍集中于周期性板块，如工程机械、煤机、油服等领域；Q3末机构持仓已经接近2014年的低点。

机械行业毛利率与钢价相关性分析：回顾历史数据，机械大部分子行业毛利率与钢材价格变动方向没有明显的趋势性，只有电梯和叉车行业的毛利率变化与钢材价格变动呈现比较明显的反向性。在2019年钢材价格下行的背景下，电梯和叉车有望迎来结构性投资机会。

2019年机械板块的表现将依然呈现分化，我们选择景气度向上和拥有确定性政策导向的子行业结构性机会，设备企业盈利能力和估值有待修复，规模效应下龙头优势将持续放大。
