“Recently, influenced by the international situation and the spread of the epidemic, the value of Baijiu sector has dropped, and the market is down. The valuation of the leading item is generally lower than that of the central level, and the value space of the long line is reproduced.” Huachuang Securities said that from a fundamental point of view, the consumer demand under the disturbance of the epidemic is slightly flat. In the off-season, liquor enterprises mainly control goods and prices and digest inventory. The dynamic sales are stable, the wholesale prices of famous liquor are relatively flat month on month, the channel confidence remains stable and the fundamentals remain healthy.
Wuliangye Yibin Co.Ltd(000858) the price of the eighth generation of puwu increased, and the position of “first brother” was unstable
When the price of Feitian Maotai continued to fall, there was news from the market that the recommended retail price of Wuliangye Yibin Co.Ltd(000858) eighth generation pu5 had been raised from 1399 yuan per bottle to 1499 yuan, which was the same as the current recommended retail price of 53 degree Feitian Maotai.
China news finance reporter noted that on the current e-commerce platform, Wuliangye Yibin Co.Ltd(000858) official flagship store’s eighth generation P5 price has been shown as 1499 yuan, but due to full reduction activities, the discount price is 1220 yuan.
Will the Wuliangye Yibin Co.Ltd(000858) price increase have an impact on the status of Feitian Maotai?
“Compared to the Wuliangye Yibin Co.Ltd(000858) eighth Dai Pu five yuan 1499 yuan terminal retail price, the current box flying Moutai market performance price is in the 3000 yuan, the loose bottle is above 2500 yuan. At the same time, flying Moutai is the Maotai Baijiu benchmark, Wuliangye Yibin Co.Ltd(000858) is the benchmark of Luzhou Baijiu liquor, both from the product characteristics to the scene location are different, so the Wuliangye Yibin Co.Ltd(000858) price increase will not have any impact on Moutai. Xiao Zhuqing told Zhongxin finance and economics reporters.
Cai Xuefei believes that Wuliangye Yibin Co.Ltd(000858) the price increase of the eighth generation PUV to 1499 yuan is more about seizing the off-season to enhance the brand value. At the same time, Wuliangye Yibin Co.Ltd(000858) should boost channel sales confidence and stabilize market sales sentiment by constantly upgrading prices. In addition, it may also boost the capital market.
The market generally believes that for famous wines, the 1000 yuan price band is the core competitive price band and the main consumer price band in the future.
Wuliangye Yibin Co.Ltd(000858) price increase, will it drive the price increase of other high-end products?
“At present, it is still very difficult. With the reduction of alcohol consumption prices and consumption trends in China, in fact, the pressure on the whole Chinese famous liquor is still large. Under such circumstances, only strong liquor enterprises such as Wuliangye Yibin Co.Ltd(000858) , Maotai can play a role in raising prices, and other liquor enterprise brands may be difficult to support the market sales after raising prices.” Cai Xuefei said.
However, according to Xiao Zhuqing, after the price increase of Wuliangye Yibin Co.Ltd(000858) puwu, other products with a price of 1000 yuan may follow up. “The follow-up price increase is mainly to consolidate the brand value and keep up with Wuliangye Yibin Co.Ltd(000858) the psychological price expectation of consumers.” (end)
