Investment advice

This week, the food and beverage sector rebounded, among which beer performed more strongly, mainly due to the performance disclosure of Budweiser Asia Pacific and the recent year-on-year improvement of the overall sales volume of the industry. From the monthly data, there has been no substantial change in their respective molecular industries, and the upstream cost pressure has shown signs of easing. At the current time point, it is recommended to select stocks with reasonable valuation and their own 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 popular products, it is still recommended to select the beer sector with downward cost determination during the year, or the current competition pattern is relatively better and the pressure transmission is more smooth, followed by dairy products. The beer sector will continue to benefit from the recovery of consumption scene after the epidemic this year, with the positive impact of price increase and high-end products, and high growth can be expected.
