After 22 years of high-quality growth, the experience potential can be expected to rise. Looking forward to 2022, the company sets a tone of seeking progress while maintaining stability, and puts forward five marketing priorities: continuously increasing consumer cultivation, improving brand market position, meeting consumer demand in the new era, promoting the upgrading and development of series of wines, and adhering to sharing and co construction. From the short-term tracking point of view, now entering the next year’s preparation period, the channel feedback has increased the comprehensive delivery cost of the eighth generation in 22 years, and the recent approval price has warmed up. The approval price in core markets such as Jiangsu is about 970 yuan, the channel and terminal inventory are benign, and the subsequent approval price in the peak season of the Spring Festival is expected to increase. Classic Wuliangye Yibin Co.Ltd(000858) is still the focus of development. The company will continue to strengthen the cultivation of core groups and optimize the channel mode. 1618, low alcohol, memorial wine and other products are also expected to contribute to the increment. In the early stage, due to the slowdown of performance growth in the third quarter and the stable improvement of the general five rating, the valuation was suppressed to a certain extent. However, considering the smooth actual sales of the general five, the strong brand power of the company at the price of 1000 yuan, the 22-year high-quality growth can be expected, and the performance elasticity and valuation rise are also worth waiting for.
Profit forecast, valuation and rating: maintain the net profit forecast of 24 / 287 / 34.2 billion in 2021-23, the corresponding EPS is 6.17/7.40/8.81 yuan, and the corresponding P / E of the current stock price is 38 / 32 / 27 times. Reiterate the “buy” rating.
Risk warning: classic Wuliangye Yibin Co.Ltd(000858) feedback is less than expected, and general five moves less than expected, and high-end Baijiu competition intensifies.
