Food and beverage industry weekly: epidemic affects consumption, Baijiu sector short-term adjustment

Core view

In terms of the market, the A-share market was impacted by the dual emotions of overseas tightening and China's epidemic, and there was a significant correction. The relevant sectors of the real estate industry chain performed strongly, and the middle and lower reaches of consumption, TMT and other sectors were significantly affected by the negative impact of the epidemic and fell sharply. Liquor adjustment is obvious, mainly because of the market Baijiu Baijiu scene missing, slowing sales and other concerns gradually increased. We think that 3-4 months for Baijiu consumption season, dynamic sales slowed down, digest inventory pressure is not big. The current Baijiu valuation has dropped to a reasonable level. After the epidemic is eased, there will be obvious compensation as business and banquets demand warmer. At present, the PE of most companies in 22 years is 20-30 times, and the configuration value is prominent. It is recommended to pay attention to it.

Investment advice

1) after the initial adjustment, the Baijiu sector was pessimistic. Hold tight the Baijiu line and look for two or three lines with high elasticity. We should pay attention to Kweichow Moutai Co.Ltd(600519) , Wuliangye Yibin Co.Ltd(000858) , Luzhou Laojiao Co.Ltd(000568) , Shede Spirits Co.Ltd(600702) , Shanxi Xinghuacun Fen Wine Factory Co.Ltd(600809) , etc. 2) Although the price increase of mass products alleviated the cost pressure last year, due to the general rise in global commodity prices and the continuous rise in the prices of many raw materials, the cost side pressure is still relatively large. Superimposed on the current weak market demand and the existence of high inventory in some sectors, we believe that the overall investment opportunity of mass products sector still needs to wait. 3) The epidemic situation has repeatedly driven the demand for prefabricated vegetables. It is suggested to pay attention to quick-frozen food.
