Investment suggestion: Baijiu dynamic marketing feedback is steady, and four main lines are optimized. The Spring Festival Baijiu has basically been completed and ready for the real sale stage. At present, the epidemic situation has little impact on the payment collection of manufacturers, and there is differentiation in different regions of mobile sales: due to the stricter control in the epidemic area, the flat sales are also expected; However, more regions have not been affected by the epidemic, and the mobile sales still maintain a good momentum. The Spring Festival sales of Baijiu will last until the first month, and many epidemic situations are effectively controlled. The consumption of part of the loss before the festival may be compensated after the festival. It is predicted that the sales of the famous spring festival wine will keep growing. For the 2022 sector market, we should take an optimistic look: first, we should closely follow the main line of consumption upgrading, and we should also arrange Baijiu, especially the high-end and secondary high-end price bands. On the other hand, it is strategically optimistic that the transition of the price belt of the beer sector will bring opportunities for the release of enterprise profits. Second, pay attention to the theme of price transmission and layout price increasing varieties, such as condiments; Third, pay attention to the investment opportunities brought by Rural Revitalization under the background of common prosperity. Fourth, in 2021, some industries were in business difficulties due to the impact of base number, epidemic situation and channel structure transformation. A reversal is expected in 2022, focusing on opportunities in the snack food industry.

Risk tips: macroeconomic downturn, slowing consumer demand, rising raw material prices and food safety risks.
