Retail industry investment strategy:
Affected by the epidemic, people in some areas are greatly affected when they go out. It is expected that there will be greater pressure on offline physical retail and catering in Shanghai and Shenzhen in March. At the same time, takeout business and e-commerce supermarkets may have impulse growth. On the whole, the growth rate of social consumption from January to February 2022 is good, but whether March can continue the above expected performance from January to February needs to be observed. We maintain the original view that the overall consumption recovery still needs policy boost, are optimistic about the short-term performance of gold and jewelry sales, and believe that the supermarket sector has relative gains in the short term. In view of the increased volatility of e-commerce trend, investors are advised to invest cautiously. Suggestions for next week: Shanghai Bailian Group Co.Ltd(600827) , Rainbow Digital Commercial Co.Ltd(002419) , Lao Feng Xiang Co.Ltd(600612) , Guangdong Chj Industry Co.Ltd(002345) , Vats Liquor Chain Store Management Joint Stock Co.Ltd(300755) , JD.
Risk analysis:
The growth rate of residents' consumption demand did not meet expectations, the post real estate cycle affected the income growth of some sub industries, and the impact of channel reform on the existing business model was higher than expected.
