This week’s view

[Baijiu sector]: Based on the Spring Festival dynamic sales expectations, Emblem Wine Wine performance this week is excellent.

Plate review: Hui liquor and Su liquor performed well this week, basically facing the good trend

February 7th ~2 11, 5 trading days, Shanghai and Shenzhen 300 index rose 0.82%, food and beverage sector rose 0.31%, Baijiu sector rose less than the Shanghai and Shenzhen 300, or 0.35%. Specific Baijiu sector: 1) sector view: on Wednesday, there was a sharp downward trend in the sector, or a high degree of correlation with the market environment (A shares fell significantly, with higher valuations & a bigger decline in growth style, while undervalued and stable growth sectors showed strong resilience, and the overall market sentiment was low under the background of a slight depreciation of the RMB exchange rate). Basically, the good trend remains unchanged; From Thursday to Friday, the overall performance of the sector is better; 2) In terms of individual stocks, Anhui Gujing Distillery Company Limited(000596) (+ 13.75%), Anhui Kouzi Distillery Co.Ltd(603589) (+ 9.07%) and Jiangsu Yanghe Brewery Joint-Stock Co.Ltd(002304) (+ 8.46%) were among the top gainers, and both Hui liquor and Su liquor showed strong performance. The main reasons are as follows: 1) from a fundamental point of view: during the Spring Festival, Anhui and Zhejiang were provinces that met the requirements of “increased return rate + good economic environment + little impact of the epidemic”, so the feedback of mobile sales was generally good, Among them, Anhui benefited from this year’s epidemic prevention efforts, which significantly increased the return rate compared with the same period last year. The growth rate of overall dynamic sales was particularly bright. Under the strong dynamic sales, the demand for terminal inventory replenishment of Hui liquor and Su liquor was strong, and then the growth certainty of 22q2 performance was high & the development potential appeared; 2) From the perspective of sentiment: at present, the overall market fluctuates greatly, so investors prefer the subject matter of “high growth & strong certainty & having the nature of exceeding expectations”. Therefore, the stock price performance of Huijiu and sujiu may continue in the short term.

After the festival, a number of liquor enterprises held deployment meetings, with “high-end” and “stable and far-reaching” as the general direction

According to media reports, this week Shanxi Xinghuacun Fen Wine Factory Co.Ltd(600809) (bamboo leaf green), Wuliangye Yibin Co.Ltd(000858) , Jiangsu Yanghe Brewery Joint-Stock Co.Ltd(002304) , Kweichow Moutai Co.Ltd(600519) and other liquor enterprises held meetings one after another, and gave guidance on the general direction of development in 2022. “High end” and “steady and long-term” are still the main tone——

February gold stocks: Jiangsu Yanghe Brewery Joint-Stock Co.Ltd(002304) – undervalued value + three major expected differences appear, which has high cost performance

In one sentence, the recommendation logic: the underrated Suzhou liquor leader with poor expectations, and the performance or exceeding expectations brought by structural upgrading, reform dividend and expansion speed outside the province

Expectation difference: the market is worried about whether m3, sky blue and sea blue can be upgraded successfully. We believe that: 1) there is strong certainty at the collection end: Yanghe’s revenue growth rate may exceed 25% in 2022, Q1 has completed or reached 55% of the annual task, and the proportion of Shuanggou’s Spring Festival payment has reached 50% of the annual task; 2) Dynamic sales end: at present, while the price of crystal dream is basically the same as that of Sikai, high channel profits + rich channel actions lead to structural upgrading exceeding expectations and sales exceeding expectations (during the Spring Festival, Yanghe consumer promotion is upgraded and the price is stable), and the upgraded version of haizhilan is expected to be launched at an accelerated speed.

Poor expectation: the market is worried about the expansion and growth of markets outside the province. We believe that the development of markets outside Yanghe province exceeds expectations or opens up long-term imagination. With the mature Baijiu area entering the “zero sum game” stage, the development of the market outside the province is the key to steady growth. In the past 21 years, with the upgrading of various products and the adjustment of regional managers, we have observed that Henan and Anhui have resumed their growth trend, Shandong, Jiangxi, Zhejiang and Hubei have high growth performance, and the growth rate of market expansion outside the province may exceed expectations.

Poor expectation: the market is worried about the target achievement rate and quality after the adjustment of the company’s management. We believe that the market reform measures of the new management are positive and the brand resilience is underestimated. Since the new chairman took office in 21 years, the channel adjustment has been basically completed, the salary reform and equity incentive have been implemented, and the independent development of Shuanggou and expensive wine brands has achieved continuous high growth.

At present, the channel profit has increased, the price is stable, the inventory is benign in January and may, the team enthusiasm has improved significantly, and the reform dividend is expected to be released in 22 years.

Data update: the Kweichow Moutai Co.Ltd(600519) rating performance this week is stable and the overall inventory performance is healthy

Kweichow Moutai Co.Ltd(600519) : the wholesale price of Feitian bulk bottle is about 2750 yuan, and the whole box is about 3150 yuan. The wholesale price drops slightly (normal fluctuation). The price of series wine and non-standard wine increases + the release of new 1935 + the launch of Chinese Zodiac wine earlier than last year + the dealers can implement the unplanned quota of non-standard products will contribute to the ton price of one quarter; Wuliangye Yibin Co.Ltd(000858) : the approval price this week is stable at 970-980 yuan. Since the price increase of Wuliangye Yibin Co.Ltd(000858) , contracts for the coming year are being signed successively. It is expected that the payment will be collected by 40% before the Spring Festival, the delivery proportion will be 30% +, and the inventory will be healthy; Luzhou Laojiao Co.Ltd(000568) : the rated price is about 920-930 yuan. The payment collection of Guojiao in 21 years has been completed (+ 35%), and the growth target of Guojiao next year is 30%. The overall performance of the rated price is stable; About 40% of the new 1952 collection.

Investment suggestions: it is recommended to pay attention to Kweichow Moutai Co.Ltd(600519) , Wuliangye Yibin Co.Ltd(000858) , Anhui Yingjia Distillery Co.Ltd(603198) , Jiangsu Yanghe Brewery Joint-Stock Co.Ltd(002304)

After the initial callback, the current Baijiu valuation has been in a reasonable interval. Based on the three main differences between the industry fundamentals and the Spring Festival observation, we believe that we need to grasp short-term catalysis and dynamic marketing. Pre judgment of inventory status (determine 22q2 performance) + payment and collection progress (determine 22q1 performance) + long-term development direction to select the target – it is recommended to pay attention to Kweichow Moutai Co.Ltd(600519) , Wuliangye Yibin Co.Ltd(000858) , Anhui Yingjia Distillery Co.Ltd(603198) , Jiangsu Yanghe Brewery Joint-Stock Co.Ltd(002304) .

Dairy products: there is a strong demand in the Spring Festival. It is suggested to pay attention to the allocation opportunities of leading dairy enterprises

1) income: the liquid milk data in January is bright, and the liquid milk income of leading dairy enterprises in January may increase by 25% year-on-year. Considering the objective factor of early spring festival, the growth rate of liquid milk income of leading dairy enterprises in January and February may be 15%. Generally speaking, it belongs to the relatively strong demand of the Spring Festival in history.

2) cost: under the weak competition, the leader can reduce the cost input, and we judge that there is still room for further compression in the future.

3) inventory: at present, the average channel inventory of leading dairy enterprises is 22-23 days, which is in a normal and reasonable state.

Leisure snacks: the data is still recovering, continue to track and wait for the opportunity

This week, we updated our views on the terminal dynamic sales of three leisure snack companies Ganyuan Foods Co.Ltd(002991) , Chacha Food Company Limited(002557) , Yanker Shop Food Co.Ltd(002847) and the sales during the Spring Festival:

1) during the Spring Festival, the overall passenger flow of supermarkets has warmed up, but the passenger flow and data of supermarkets are still recovering. The sinking channel and snack system have performed well recently, and the sales performance of gift box products is good due to the influence of Spring Festival.

2) the dealer’s channel inventory is basically at a good level in the industry, and the overall dynamic sales in January are good. For example, the sales growth rate of Ganyuan Foods Co.Ltd(002991) in a certain area in January was 10%, and the sales growth rate of Chacha Food Company Limited(002557) in a certain area in December + January was about 20%.

3) we believe that the terminals in the leisure and snack sector are still in the process of continuous recovery, in which we should focus on tracking the new products and the changes of mobile sales of the terminals to seek opportunities. For example, track the new products and investment promotion of Ganyuan Foods Co.Ltd(002991) to be launched soon; Track the sales of Yanker Shop Food Co.Ltd(002847) quantitative and bulk large single products; And the performance of Qia Guokui and nut gift box.
