Investment advice

This week, the food and beverage sector stabilized and rebounded after continuous adjustment. Judging from the overall situation of Spring Festival, Baijiu and Su Jiu were better performing, while the price of public goods basically changed smoothly. From the perspective of fundamentals, the industry has not changed substantially. At the current time point, it is recommended to select stocks with reasonable valuation and growth attributes. On the sector side, it is still recommended to focus on the more high-end Baijiu, and change the space with time, and pay attention to the secondary high-end market. In terms of mass products, the upstream cost pressure may be relieved in the middle of this year. At present, the beer sector still has a relatively better competition pattern and smoother pressure transmission, followed by dairy products. The price of raw milk in the upstream of dairy products has been flat with the same period last year. On the basis of good demand and early price increase, the performance is expected to accelerate the release. It is recommended to pay active attention. To sum up, we give the industry a “optimistic” investment rating and continue to recommend Wuliangye Yibin Co.Ltd(000858) (000858), Jiangsu King’S Luck Brewery Joint-Stock Co.Ltd(603369) (603369), Angel Yeast Co.Ltd(600298) (600298), Chongqing Brewery Co.Ltd(600132) (600132) and Inner Mongolia Yili Industrial Group Co.Ltd(600887) (600887).
