Weekly report of building materials industry: pay attention to the valuation and repair opportunities of consumer building materials

In the fourth quarter, most consumer building materials faced three commonalities: sales slowdown, bad debt provision and channel structure change. With the release of cost impact and the risk of bad debt provision, the valuation level of consumer building materials enterprises is expected to be repaired: we believe that the operation of Listed Companies in consumer building materials such as waterproof, ceramic tile and pipe will face three commonalities in the near future: 1 Under the environment of slowing sales and tightening real estate funds, based on the starting points of risk control and recovery, the sales growth of most companies slowed down in the fourth quarter. 2. Impairment of accounts receivable: the risks of Evergrande and related real estate companies are transmitted to the whole industrial chain. Decoration building materials enterprises have more or less the risk of bad debt accrual of accounts receivable. It is expected that there will be more centralized bad debt accrual in the annual report of 2021, but whether the full accrual needs to be comprehensively judged in combination with many factors such as the volume of bad debts. 3. Changes in channel structure: the land's assets and capital are tightening, the project channel risk is rising, and decoration building materials enterprises pay more attention to the growth of small b-end, C-end and municipal sales. At the current time point, we believe that the cost side of decoration building materials is currently at a high level, and there is little room for further improvement of cost pressure. Affected by the marginal improvement of real estate policies and the adjustment of the company's own channel structure, most listed enterprises are expected to maintain relatively stable sales growth in 2022, and the industry fundamentals will return to normal. With the gradual release of the risk of cost impact + bad debt provision, decoration enterprises are expected to usher in valuation repair.
