Retail industry investment strategy:
There are local conflicts in the international situation, and there is a high probability that the short-term gold price trend will rise. Historically, the rise of gold price is conducive to the improvement of gross profit margin of gold jewelry sales, so as to stimulate the overall profitability of the industry. We have repeatedly stressed the view that we are optimistic about the gold and jewelry sub sector in 1h2022, and believe that the prosperity of gold and jewelry still has no obvious downward trend. In particular, various gold jewelry companies focusing on gold sales still have pulse opportunities in the short term. On the contrary, the demand for mass consumer goods still lacks long-term driving factors, the offline retail sector is still under pressure, and short-term suggestions are mainly on the sidelines. To sum up, we are most optimistic about the gold jewelry sector, and the valuation of gold jewelry companies is generally low and relatively safe. Suggestions for next week: 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.
