[Baijiu]: leading enterprises have taken the lead in disclosing high growth, and the quarterly reports have been ahead of schedule, while the stable counterattack horn has blown the leading enterprises of liquor enterprises to disclose high growth, and the industry’s toughness has grown stronger than expected. Recently, four leading liquor enterprises, which are typical representatives of high-end, sub high-end and real estate liquor, disclosed their operation from January to February. From the perspective of year-on-year growth rate of revenue / profit, Maotai 20% / 20%, Shanxi Xinghuacun Fen Wine Factory Co.Ltd(600809) 35% + / 50% +, Jiangsu King’S Luck Brewery Joint-Stock Co.Ltd(603369) 25% / 26%, Jiugui Liquor Co.Ltd(000799) 120% / 130%. Considering the short interval between New Year’s day and Spring Festival last year, the epidemic situation in Henan, Shaanxi and other places was relatively serious before the Spring Festival, The high growth of the four liquor enterprises was much higher than expected, which once again confirmed the enhanced resilience of the industry and the prominent advantages of robustness, certainty and growth of high-quality leaders. Due to the small proportion in March, the 1 quarterly report of the four companies is growing at a high level. According to our tracking, the other famous Baijiu liquor also has excellent performance.
The quarterly market started ahead of schedule, and the horn of counterattack in stability has sounded. In the short term, the occurrence of the epidemic has slightly suppressed the spread of mainstream single products, and there has been a recurrence of the outflow of the north. The recent adjustment of Baijiu has already reflected the impact of the epidemic on some market moves. Some of the Baijiu valuation has dropped to even below the 2019 level. Under the assumption of a neutral level, some wine enterprises already have 3 years and 1 times space. It has high certainty and good demand for yield. The disclosure of Maofen Jiangsu King’S Luck Brewery Joint-Stock Co.Ltd(603369) Jiugui Liquor Co.Ltd(000799) January February operating data is expected to become a catalyst for the market to develop from decline to stable and directional counter attack, and the quarterly report market is deduced in advance.
Active layout, there are still many positive catalysts throughout the year. In addition to the certainty of performance, some liquor enterprises still have positive events such as price increase of large single products, equity incentive and new product upgrading this year. With the setting and implementation of the annual economic goals, the overall consumption environment is expected to gradually climb. Considering the continuous improvement of the comprehensive competitiveness of famous and high-quality liquor enterprises and the safety margin of the valuation of high-end and sub high-end leaders, we are optimistic about the outlook for the whole year and suggest a positive layout, focusing on the high-end maowulu, sub 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]: the transmission of price increase is smooth, and the performance elasticity is expected to be released in peak season
At present, although there are still repeated epidemics in some regions, and the catering channels have not fully recovered to the pre epidemic level, with the improvement of control efficiency, the sales volume in peak season is expected to increase compared with the same period last year, and the superimposed price increase effect is expected to release the performance elasticity. From January to February, the dynamic sales of Tsingtao beer was good. The driving factors included the recovery of the epidemic situation, the change of market competition pattern and the growth of sales of high value-added products. The company increased the tendency of profit assessment in 2022, and the ban on equity incentive will be lifted in the middle of the year. For Wusu, a large single product, heavy beer will successively introduce white beer, black beer and other products in Xinjiang into markets outside Xinjiang in 2022, and actively cooperate with the implementation of the plan of big cities. 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]: the rise of short-term costs affects the gross profit margin, and it is suggested to bargain hunting after the correction
Seasoning has a short-term base problem. Last year, the Q1 revenue and profit base of enterprises were mostly high, which suppressed the market expectation in the first quarter. However, from a fundamental point of view, although the current epidemic situation is repeated at many points, the just needed properties of condiments remain unchanged. At the same time, although the bulk prices, including molasses, soybeans and other raw materials, have further increased after the festival, which has put pressure on the costs of enterprises, it is expected that the price increase implemented last year can alleviate some of the upward pressure on costs, Jonjee Hi-Tech Industrial And Commercial Holding Co.Ltd(600872) , Jiangsu Hengshun Vinegar-Industry Co.Ltd(600305) etc. are expected to complete the price transmission as soon as possible around March. From Q2 this year, the income and profit elasticity of some condiments will increase under the low base. After a certain correction in the market, most companies have been in a reasonable range of valuation. It is suggested to bargain hunting and layout high-quality condiment enterprises. At present, 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 callbacks, are recommended.
[dairy products]: the new year is a good start, and the marketing of the Winter Olympic Games is effective
After the epidemic, the demand for dairy products continued to be resilient. The holding of the Winter Olympic Games made brand marketing a hot spot again, and the head dairy enterprises have invested in the marketing activities of the Winter Olympic Games. Although the sales expenses have increased year-on-year, the better dynamic sales market of the Spring Festival and the high-end upgrading brought by festival gifts have boosted the profit side. It is expected that the steady growth trend of the first quarter will continue in the second quarter. This week, Yili released business data from January to February that exceeded market expectations, which once again verified the resilience of demand for dairy products and the slowdown of competition. 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 freezing]: there is a strong demand for prefabricated vegetables & frozen baking
Recently, the epidemic has been repeated at many points, and the consumption demand of home dining scene has increased, which has further tapped the demand of residents, improved the consumption habits of C-end consumers and the business strategy of b-end catering enterprises. With the upsurge of prefabricated vegetables, 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) .
