Among them, the number of listed companies that intend to change accounting firms in October and November is 248 and 200 respectively. Looking back at the "exchange tide", three phenomena stand out: First, in order to improve the quality and ability of capital market intermediaries, the supervision of accounting firms by the regulatory authorities has been significantly enhanced. Based on the principle of prudence, listed companies collectively cancel the contract with the "problem institute"; Second, under the heavy penalty, more and more accountants choose to change their firms to practice, while listed companies choose to change their firms instead of accountants; Third, listed companies employ audit institutions through competitive negotiation, public bidding, invitation bidding, etc. In the bidding process, in order to attract more customers and increase the signing rate, the phenomenon of audit institutions reducing prices has increased. (Securities Daily)Galaxy Securities: Pay attention to investment opportunities in the fields of cement, consumer building materials, glass fiber, etc. The Galaxy Securities Research Report pointed out that 1) Cement: the price continues to push up, and the northern region has entered the winter peak-shifting stage. In November, the weather gradually turned cold, and the downstream market demand dropped slightly. Most provinces in the north have entered the stage of winter peak-shifting and kiln-stopping, and the kiln-stopping rate is above 80%. Under the background of improving supply and demand in the industry, cement enterprises continue to push up cement prices. 2) Consumer building materials: The retail end continued to improve month on month. In October, the retail sales of building and decoration materials decreased by 5.8% year-on-year and increased by 4.9% quarter-on-quarter. Recently, with the stabilization of commercial housing sales, the demand for consumer building materials has improved. 3) Glass fiber: the price of roving rose slightly at the end of the month, and the price of electronic yarn was temporarily stable. In November, the demand for wind power yarn and thermoplastic yarn was stable, but the demand for traditional building materials was still under pressure, which led to the general demand for roving. There are resumption of production and new ignition production lines within the month, and the annual production capacity has increased; Near the end of the month, glass fiber enterprises issued a notice of re-pricing roving and products. It will take some time for the new price to land, but it will have a certain driving effect on demand and price in the short term. 4) Float glass: at the end of the year, work will continue to support the market demand and the inventory of enterprises will be improved. In November, work was rushed to support the demand of float glass terminal, but the middle and lower reaches mainly digested the previous inventory, and the purchasing enthusiasm declined. In the context of the contradiction between supply and demand in the industry, the production capacity has been significantly reduced, and the inventory pressure of float glass enterprises has improved.
