Popular products: pay attention to the marginal changes of cost and demand side, and optimize the leaders of subdivided industries. Inflation is rising. Direct materials for mass goods (production raw materials and packaging materials, etc.) account for about 75% - 90% of the cost. The cost side of each sub industry is under pressure to varying degrees. Since the second half of 2021, many enterprises have raised prices. Considering the delay caused by channel inventory digestion and Spring Festival Promotion, the price increase effect is expected to alleviate the cost pressure in the future; On the demand side, the epidemic affects many consumption scenarios such as business supermarket passenger flow and offline catering. If the epidemic is effectively controlled and the consumption scenario is repaired, the demand side of mass goods will pick up. Industry leading enterprises have stronger ability to raise prices and control costs. They are also expected to maintain profitability through more efficient expenses. Their overall anti risk ability is strong. They deserve priority allocation under reasonable valuation.
