is the time ripe for Maotai to raise prices?
When the main liquor companies have been raising prices, when Moutai, the “king of Baijiu”, has raised the price, what has become the focus of the market?
Recently, Jinsong of Zhongtai Securities Co.Ltd(600918) food and beverage analysis normal school published a publication entitled “how feasible is Maotai price increase when people’s mind rises?” According to the Research Report of Kweichow Moutai Co.Ltd(600519) , it is ripe to raise the price of Feitian Maotai, the main single product of Kweichow Moutai Co.Ltd(600519) .
Fan Jinsong said in his report that in recent years, the leading and impressive range of whisky and red wine and strong aroma Baijiu has been increasing. As a leader of Maotai flavor, Moutai should also have the basis for raising prices. At present, Maotai’s market environment, competition pattern and the management’s market-oriented reform determination are different from the past. The time is ripe to raise the price of the main single product Feitian Maotai.
It analyzes the price increase opportunity of Maotai from four aspects:
(1) When the total amount is limited, food and beverage companies generally adopt the vertical playing method. Since November this year, whisky prices have been intensively adjusted, among which high-end wine and old wine have increased significantly. It can also be seen from the price adjustment of Huanghelou cigarette and Wuliangye Yibin Co.Ltd(000858) wine that the price limit of high-end tobacco and wine in China may have been loosened recently.
(2) From the history of Maotai’s price increase, the current market environment is mature: the channel share of each price increase in Maotai since 2010 is about 50%. In the past two years, the scissors difference between Feitian’s wholesale price and ex factory price has continued to grow, and the channel share has been close to 70%.
(3) The price increase can open the position with high-end competitive products, and is also conducive to the price belt of 1000 yuan. From the external environment, Maotai flavor competitive products are mostly priced close to the retail price of Maotai. If the price is not raised, it may damage the brand strength. From the perspective of its own product structure, Maotai lacks core large single products with a price of 1000 yuan. This year, the pace of Maotai 1935 launch is slower than expected, or the price may need to be adjusted to straighten out the price band.
(4) The new chairman is determined to forge ahead and has strong determination to market-oriented reform. Since September, Maotai’s market-oriented reform measures have been taken frequently with remarkable results. In the future, the means of administrative intervention is expected to gradually turn into a market-oriented and legal system, and the most effective way is to narrow the large price difference between retail price and real wholesale price.
Fan Jinsong further pointed out that on the one hand, the price increase will significantly increase profits, on the other hand, it is also conducive to Maotai channel reform and market-oriented operation, straighten out the price belt for Maotai 1935 new products and contribute to the second growth curve. In addition, Kweichow Moutai Co.Ltd(600519) as a leader has a significant role in promoting the Baijiu industry. If the price increases smoothly, it will open up price space for other high-end and high-end Baijiu brands, and enhance channel confidence. The industry will enter the business cycle of increasing inventories, and next year, there will be rare opportunities for industrial investment.
securities optimistic next year Baijiu plate
The investment opportunities for the whole Baijiu sector will be more favorable next year.
Wanlian securities research report said that Luzhou Laojiao Co.Ltd(000568) and Xijiu have raised prices one after another, and the cost of the supply side is gradually transmitted to the downstream demand side. The “unpacking order” of Maotai has been determined to land on the channel dealers, and the optimization of retail policy is expected to increase the sales coverage of Maotai. Baijiu Baijiu Baijiu demand core factors remain unchanged, the industry development for a long time to good, high-end liquor growth certainty, the second high-end liquor elasticity highlights, high-end, secondary high-end Baijiu plate has a good investment opportunities.
Baijiu Securities believes Baijiu industry is still at a high level, and its development logic is clear. After a long and long time correction, the stock price has entered a reasonable interval. The three quarter performance and the popular liquor are generally in line with expectations. The second high-end is not lacking in bright spots. The catalytic events will drive the sector to start the recovery market. “We look at the Baijiu plate in 2022, focusing on investment opportunities of high-end and secondary high-end Baijiu”.
According to Caixin securities, the fundamentals of Baijiu are still steady next year, and the growth of high-end liquor is still high and the foundation of performance acceleration is high. The second high-end marginal rate of decline is still strong. But some of the solid foundation Baijiu enterprises can maintain a higher growth rate. The regional leaders are expected to show their growth performance on the basis of strengthening channels and product operation capabilities and optimizing the incentive mechanism. It believes that Baijiu plate investment can be based on the allocation of highly deterministic varieties based on the growth of individual stocks to increase revenue.
For the market worried that the consumption tax reform will cause the liquor enterprise to shrink profits, the securities company believes that the top famous Baijiu brand is very strong, the demand is strong and the supply is relatively scarce, the channel price difference is big and the liquor enterprises have strong voice for the channel, the winery profit is limited by the tax policy change, but it does not rule out that the Baijiu should take some time to implement the strategy. The possibility of short-term disturbance on the profit side. Enterprises with weak brand power and weak channel bargaining power need to bear a certain proportion of the new tax burden, and the profit margin is under downward pressure.
