Aesthetic awakening + leading change, driving the jewelry sector at the bottom of expectations, is expected to exceed market expectations in 2022.
Key investment points
The undervalued value of the sector leader in the early 10x has reflected the market’s pessimistic expectations for jewelry: since the second half of 2021, the valuation has dropped significantly, and the valuation of the head jewelry company has basically dropped to the relatively low position of the historical center. The P / E ratio of the sector leader is generally lower than 15x, which reflects the market’s pessimistic expectations for consumption and marriage.
“Aesthetic awakening”, there are industrial opportunities for jewelry:
Consumer aesthetic awakening occurs not only in the fields of clothing and cosmetics, but also in the field of jewelry. Jewelry gradually deviates from material properties and moves towards “consumerism”. Consumers are willing to pay a premium for the brand and its value proposition, as well as for product style and technology. At the same time, thanks to the rise of online content traffic channels, it has accelerated the process of aesthetic awakening. DEA shares (officially started in 14 years and grew into a revenue of nearly 5 billion in 21 years), the rapid rise of APM (rapidly growing from a OEM to a head jewelry brand that can be benchmarked with Pandora), and the rapid and large-scale production of gufajin (the labor cost is about 50 yuan higher than the traditional process) products with high processing cost all show that consumers’ aesthetic mind is awakening rapidly, This will be the most important consumption trend leading the development of the jewelry industry.
“The dragon head Dances”, and a new pattern of jewelry is emerging:
The theme of the next era of the industry is the transformation and differentiation of leading brands. Leading brands that can grasp the consumption trend and innovate themselves will eventually stand at the forefront of the times, obtain a real brand premium and enter another valuation system. After 10 years of rapid development of gold jewelry, the industry entered a reshuffle period. The epidemic situation has accelerated the clearing and head concentration of the industry. The leader has developed against the trend due to strong resources, heavy innovation, premium and high efficiency.
