Retail industry investment strategy:

The recent focus of the retail sector is the Spring Festival sales data. On the whole, although there are adverse factors of the epidemic, the prosperity of the industry may be alleviated with a series of policies issued by the government. On the night of the last trading day of the year of the ox, many retail enterprises issued pre loss announcements for 2021. Among them, the loss of Suning.Com Co.Ltd(002024) is within the expectation, and the performance pre loss degree of leading supermarket enterprises Yonghui Superstores Co.Ltd(601933) and Jiajiayue Group Co.Ltd(603708) slightly exceeds the market expectation, especially Jiajiayue Group Co.Ltd(603708) is in a leading position in Jiaodong, and its performance loss is unexpected in the market. At present, the CPI index is stable, and supermarkets will still recover weakly in the short term due to the impact of community group buying. Therefore, we maintain the original view that the gold jewelry industry will have better opportunities in 2022. Meanwhile, Baijiu channel business Vats Liquor Chain Store Management Joint Stock Co.Ltd(300755) will continue to benefit from the high spirits of high-end Baijiu, and investors should be concerned about it. Suggestions: Shanghai Bailian Group Co.Ltd(600827) , Rainbow Digital Commercial Co.Ltd(002419) , Lao Feng Xiang Co.Ltd(600612) , Guangdong Chj Industry Co.Ltd(002345) , Vats Liquor Chain Store Management Joint Stock Co.Ltd(300755) , JD.

Risk analysis:

The growth rate of residents’ consumption demand did not meet expectations, the post real estate cycle affected the income growth of some sub industries, and the impact of channel reform on the existing business model was higher than expected.
