Investment suggestion: the industry is bottoming out and pay attention to the recovery of consumption

We judge that the industry is in the process of bottoming. Industry uncertainty lies in the duration of the impact of the epidemic on demand.

We are optimistic that the impact of the epidemic on consumption will be maximized in the second quarter, and the follow-up should converge upward with the rhythm of epidemic control. We believe that when the industry recovers, the market probably favors the epidemic damaged stocks with undervalued value and high prosperity. The logic is that after the opening of the consumption scenario, some industries can have rapid consumption compensation or rebound, and companies with fast growth and good growth may become the target of the market. The annual dimension is the first to promote Baijiu, mainly to high-end and secondary high-end baijiu. Baijiu has the compensatory demand of business banquet, and is less affected by raw material price, and has stronger demand and profit toughness. In the off-season, the impact of Baijiu on liquor is limited. Some liquor companies are very slow in the off-season, while the waist products are added to the growth of performance. The trend of follow-up is upward. The beer sector is optimistic about the enterprise profit elasticity brought by price increase and structural upgrading in the medium term. The short-term epidemic affects sales, but the logic of upgrading continues to be verified. Recovery after the epidemic should be a good choice. The demand for dairy products is stable, the competition has not intensified, and it has high allocation value. Two ideas for condiment: one is to allocate the leader at the end of the long cycle; Second, seize the opportunity of high growth in quarterly performance.

Risk tips: macroeconomic downturn, slowing consumer demand, rising raw material prices and food safety risks.
