This week’s view

[Baijiu plate]: plate fluctuation increases, basically facing the good trend unchanged.

Plate review: Maotai series non-standard liquor prices increased, and liquor enterprises prepared goods and paid for them smoothly before the festival

January 3rd ~1 7, 5 trading days, the Shanghai and Shenzhen 300 index fell 2.39%, the food and beverage sector fell 3.78%, Baijiu plate rose less than the Shanghai and Shenzhen 300, down 4.68%. Specific Baijiu plate: Beijing Shunxin Agriculture Co.Ltd(000860) (+0.08%), Jiangsu Yanghe Brewery Joint-Stock Co.Ltd(002304) (-0.03%), Qinghai Huzhu Barley Wine Co.Ltd(002646) (-0.24%), Wuliangye Yibin Co.Ltd(000858) (=2.25%) decline is smaller, we think that the current plate fluctuations are mostly macro factors + early plus higher + emotional (News) level triggered callbacks, specifically:

1) macro level: the market is worried about foreign capital outflow due to the recent continuous rise of US bond interest rate and the increased expectation of interest rate increase by the Federal Reserve, Or the formation of a certain inhibitory effect on the high valuation plate (during the 21 Spring Festival, the Baijiu plate had a large scale valuation phenomenon due to the higher macro factors of the US bond interest rate, thus triggering the market’s concern about whether the plate will be again massive callback this year after the festival).

2) capital: China Mobile is listed this week to attract some funds;

3) emotional aspect: this week’s Kweichow Moutai Co.Ltd(600519) series liquor and non-standard price increase triggered the market’s concern that Feitian Maotai would not raise the price. At the same time, the rumors of Shede Spirits Co.Ltd(600702) management change also had a short-term negative impact on the stock price. From a fundamental point of view, wineries started early to make money + some wine enterprises have a good start compared with previous years + dealers\’ inventory is generally low + approval prices are stable and positive under the tide of price increase + channel confidence has actively laid the foundation for a good start in 2022. It is expected that high-end wine will maintain steady growth in 2022q1, And the high-end liquor keeps high elasticity of performance ( Shede Spirits Co.Ltd(600702) , Jiugui Liquor Co.Ltd(000799) , Anhui Yingjia Distillery Co.Ltd(603198) , Anhui Kouzi Distillery Co.Ltd(603589) , Shanxi Xinghuacun Fen Wine Factory Co.Ltd(600809) , Anhui Gujing Distillery Company Limited(000596) and other profit growth rate will exceed 50%). The absolute value of the annual liquor business will steadily increase under the main line of price increase, and usher in a higher quality development. The current Baijiu industry or the “structural cattle” will be adjusted.

In the medium and long term, “three exceeding expectations” drive the logic of the whole year: the market expects that the company’s base is high, and it is difficult to exceed expectations, management changes or business fluctuations. We believe that under the guidance of “pulling out of the middle and high and controlling the low level”, the proportion of blue and white series increased + accelerated expansion outside the province + management change had little impact, or the performance exceeded expectations.

In addition, Maotai, the year of the tiger zodiac, was officially released, and the quota of some dealers of non-standard products was transferred to direct stores.

Update this week: Research on leisure snacks: Ganyuan Foods Co.Ltd(002991) , Chacha Food Company Limited(002557) , Jinzai Food Group Co.Ltd(003000) , etc

This week, we went to Pingxiang, Changsha, Hefei and other places to conduct grass-roots research and company research on the annual stock of leisure snacks and various channels. The main conclusions are as follows: (only for the situation in Hunan or Changsha)

1) annual goods preparation: according to the channels of supermarkets and dealers, the current annual goods preparation of various brands is different, but overall, it is slightly lower than that in the same period in 2021, and the performance is not as good as that in previous years. The main reasons are: the epidemic situation is repeated, and the dealers are slightly cautious in preparing goods; In the past 21 years, the overall dynamic sales were average, and the enthusiasm of dealers was weakened.

2) channel situation: the performance of supermarkets’ channels is average, the performance of various brands in circulation channels is different, and the performance of sinking channels is excellent. We conducted research on supermarkets, circulation channels and sinking channels. The overall sales performance of supermarket channels is average due to the reduction of passenger flow and annual activities; Brands with strong brand advantages in distribution channels or product advantages in subdivided fields perform better, such as Qiaqia; Sunken channels (such as community stores and fruit stores) have performed well in the past 21 years and in the near future. We believe that the main reasons are: in recent years, community group shopping stores go deep into the periphery of consumers, and one-stop shopping is more convenient and fast; At the same time, the product price in the sinking channel is more favorable, and consumers’ purchase intention is enhanced.

We believe that due to the recent repeated epidemic and weak terminal demand, each family is slightly cautious in spending on New Year activities, and the stock of goods (leisure snacks) for the Spring Festival is slightly worse than that in previous years. But at the same time, we also observed:

1) for dealers, dynamic sales and brand power are still the factors most concerned by dealers, and brands and products that can provide more profits are more popular. For brands, it is necessary to continuously carry out product iteration and launch different product combinations;

2) at the same time, due to changes in consumers’ habits and external environment, channels are also changing. Sinking channels such as community stores and fruit stores have developed rapidly in recent years, the growth rate of the same store is also increasing rapidly, and various brands also seize the opportunity to layout; For example, the nut gift box launched by Qiaqia sells well in sink channels such as fruit stores; Yanjin, Ganyuan and other bulk products are also sold in community stores.

Chacha Food Company Limited(002557) : survey update

Business performance: Q4 sales in 21 years performed well, mainly because the Spring Festival this year was earlier than in previous years, and dealers actively prepared new year goods. In the future, we will continue to implement the 23-year target strategy of 10 billion tax (6 billion yuan for melon seeds, 30 yuan for nuts and 1 billion yuan for leisure snacks). Daily nuts continue to develop the sinking market through gift boxes, positioning the price band of 70-100 yuan, meeting the needs of festival gifts, and the market feedback is good.

Raw materials and prices: the price increase has been fully transmitted to the terminal, and the actual impact of the price increase on sales needs 22h1 observation. The raw materials purchased in the past 21 years have basically been used up, and the price increase of products can basically cover the price increase of newly purchased raw materials.

Ganyuan Foods Co.Ltd(002991) : survey update

It is expected that the company’s performance will still maintain rapid growth in the future, and the new products are expected to be launched from February to march of 22 years to drive the performance growth. In the future, on the product side: with the expansion of category width, more products of other categories will be launched in 22 years to expand the company’s product matrix. Flavor nuts will continue to develop, and differentiated new products will continue to be launched around pine nuts, macadamia nuts, cashew nuts and Bigan nuts. Pay attention to the expansion of supermarket channels. Except Sam, other supermarkets such as metro are continuously expanding.

The sales team continues to adjust. At present, the adjustment is basically in place, increasing the number of Ka specialists and improving the expansion ability of 2B customers; At the same time, improve the management level of the original sales team and improve the standardized management level.
