Core view
From January to February, the growth rate of zero data of daily necessities and cosmetics agencies was relatively sluggish, which was in line with the expectations under the background of weak consumption and repeated epidemics in many places. According to the data released by the National Bureau of statistics, the retail sales of social consumer goods from January to February 2022 totaled 7442.6 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 6.7%. Among them, the cumulative year-on-year growth rate of daily necessities / cosmetics from January to February was 10.7% / 7.0% respectively, and the cumulative retail sales reached 123.56 billion yuan / 61.78 billion yuan respectively. Since 2022, the already stressed consumer demand has faced further challenges under the repeated disturbance of the epidemic in many places across the country. Similar to the initial outbreak in 2020, cosmetics and daily necessities are slightly better than the overall consumption, showing strong resilience.
A number of listed companies released operating data for the first two months of 2022, which was significantly better than the industry as a whole. Up to now, the three listed companies in the sector have disclosed the main operating data from January to February 2022. In terms of growth rate, the cosmetics business of the three companies showed strong growth, Proya Cosmetics Co.Ltd(603605) / Bloomage Biotechnology Corporation Limited(688363) / Lushang Health Industry Development Co.Ltd(600223) revenue growth reached 30% / 55% / 146.7% respectively, which was significantly better than the overall growth rate of retail sales in the industry.
In the context of consumption upgrading and the prosperity of beauty culture, compliant cosmetics brands and medical beauty medicine and equipment leaders give priority to benefit and have good growth certainty. We believe that the current valuation of the sector is reasonable and continue to be optimistic about Imeik Technology Development Co.Ltd(300896) , Yunnan Botanee Bio-Technology Group Co.Ltd(300957) . We suggest paying attention to Proya Cosmetics Co.Ltd(603605) , Lushang Health Industry Development Co.Ltd(600223) , Bloomage Biotechnology Corporation Limited(688363) , Shanghai Haohai Biological Technology Co.Ltd(688366) , Furui medical technology, etc.
