[Baijiu]: enter a good investment range, grasp the opportunity of long term bottom area, and look at the long-term profit from the macro. Since the Spring Festival, the Baijiu sector has a larger callback range, on the one hand, it is affected by the epidemic on some market. On the other hand, the increase in interest rates in Europe and the United States has led to tighter expectations of foreign capital liquidity. The overall valuation of Baijiu is still higher than the historical average, and the market investment style has been adjusted. At present, from the valuation level, the whole has entered the price range, and some Baijiu valuation has dropped to even lower than the 2019 level. In the short term, the current epidemic still has a dynamic sales impact on some markets. It is expected that the overall dynamic sales will remain stable and weak in the short term of 1-2 months. There is still pressure on the delivery of wine enterprises and the transmission and landing of price increase of mainstream single products. At the same time, there are repeated outflows and inflows from the north, but some investors have expected at present. Standing in the present, we think we should go beyond the short-term macro distance and look at Baijiu investment based on the long cycle. We should grasp the overall upgrading and optimization of the industry and the differentiation and growth stages of the stocks, and some high-quality leading enterprises have entered the bottom area, with a long term and better yield base.
Based on the long cycle and short term, there is a high probability of spring planting and autumn harvest. In the short term, from the perspective of payment collection and delivery of liquor enterprises, Q1 performance will remain stable, providing short-term confidence for investment. Some liquor enterprises are still catalyzed by positive events such as price increase expectation of large single products and equity incentive expectation this year. With the setting and implementation of the annual economic objectives, the overall consumption environment is expected to gradually climb and brewing a better dynamic sales performance. Considering the continuous improvement of the comprehensive competitiveness of famous and high-quality wine enterprises and the safety margin of high-end and sub high-end leading valuations, we are positive and optimistic about the outlook of the whole year and suggest to actively grasp it. Highlight the high-end maowu Luzhou, secondary high-end Jiugui Liquor Co.Ltd(000799) , Anhui Gujing Distillery Company Limited(000596) , Shanxi Xinghuacun Fen Wine Factory Co.Ltd(600809) , Jiangsu King'S Luck Brewery Joint-Stock Co.Ltd(603369) , Jiangsu Yanghe Brewery Joint-Stock Co.Ltd(002304) , etc.
[beer]: with strong demand, the price increase was conducted smoothly, and the superposition of leading high-end new products benefited from the accuracy of epidemic control and the gradual arrival of peak season. In February, the supply and marketing of beer industry were booming, and the focus strategy of head liquor enterprises on key markets was effective. In the 21st year, the price rise of upstream bulk commodities put pressure on the cost side of the beer industry. In order to cope with the rising cost, the prices of 21q4 and some regions and products around the Spring Festival have increased one after another. For example, Carlsberg has increased the price of 620ml red Wusu since February 1, 2022. At present, with the help of demand, the consumer has a good acceptance of the early price increase and the price transmission is smooth. On the other hand, the high-end industry has been upgraded and accelerated again. This week, heavy beer again launched alcohol free beer, Lebao special flavor and other high-end new products. China Resources will also launch high-end new products, whole wheat pure raw in 2022. The current price raising strategy helps to form a new price system before the peak season. From the perspective of fundamentals, Tsingtao Brewery Company Limited(600600) , Chongqing Brewery Co.Ltd(600132) , and China Resources beer stand side by side as the first judge. At the same time, it is suggested to pay attention to Beijing Yanjing Brewery Co.Ltd(000729) potential reform opportunities.
[condiment]: at present, the cost remains high. After the correction, it is suggested to bargain hunting. At present, the stock price of condiment has a certain correction due to cost pressure. But from the fundamental point of view, after the Spring Festival, the demand is stable, the moving sales remain normal, and the inventory is also in a reasonable range. Although the bulk price rose further after the festival, which put pressure on the cost of enterprises, especially soy sauce enterprises, soybean rose relatively large (the futures price has reached more than 6200 yuan / ton, an increase of about 7% since the beginning of this year). However, it is expected that the price increase implemented last year can alleviate some upward pressure on costs, and Foshan Haitian Flavouring And Food Company Ltd(603288) , Chongqing Fuling Zhacai Group Co.Ltd(002507) have basically completed channel price transmission. On the other hand, from the month on month perspective, it is expected that the income and profit elasticity of some condiments will increase under the low base from Q2 this year. It is suggested to layout condiments on a bargain hunting basis. Considering that the market has experienced a certain correction, Chongqing Fuling Zhacai Group Co.Ltd(002507) , which has relatively high certainty and elasticity, and Angel Yeast Co.Ltd(600298) , which has more short-term correction, are recommended at present.
[dairy products]: the demand for dairy products is strong, and the marketing cost rate of the Winter Olympic Games is raised. Despite the slowdown of consumption power and the repeated impact of the epidemic, the demand for dairy products continues to be strong thanks to the support of major health categories. From October 2021 to the first quarter of 2022, dairy enterprises such as Yili, Feihe, Mengniu and JUNLEBAO competed for the marketing of the Winter Olympic Games. Su Yiming and Gu ailing, spokesmen signed by Yili and Mengniu respectively, and Wang Meng, a close friend of Feihe brand, rushed to hot search with wonderful explanations. JUNLEBAO became "China's official dairy partner of ice and snow". Therefore, the sales expense rate in the fourth quarter was higher than that in the same period. The epidemic deepened consumers' demand for milk, and the overall dynamic sales basically achieved the goal of a good start. We believe that although the overall supply and demand of raw milk was tight in 22 years, the year-on-year growth slowed down, the cost pressure of dairy enterprises weakened, and the slowing competition will accelerate the release of profits. The dairy industry focuses on Shanghai Milkground Food Tech Co.Ltd(600882) , Inner Mongolia Yili Industrial Group Co.Ltd(600887) , Mengniu Dairy, China flying crane, New Hope Dairy Co.Ltd(002946) .
[quick frozen food]: there is a strong demand for prefabricated Dishes & frozen baking. During the Spring Festival, many governments launched local spring festival initiatives to further tap the needs of residents, improve the consumption habits of C-end consumers and the business strategy of b-end catering enterprises. After the festival, the upsurge of prefabricated vegetables has not weakened, and the supply chain has also ushered in sustainable development. With the improvement of the demand for convenient and fast meal preparation, the prosperity of industrialized food products such as prefabricated dishes and frozen baking is better, focusing on Ligao Foods Co.Ltd(300973) , Zhengzhou Qianweiyangchu Food Co.Ltd(001215) , Suzhou Weizhixiang Food Co.Ltd(605089) .
