Retail industry investment strategy:
The recent recurrence of the epidemic may suppress consumer demand to a certain extent, especially in Beijing or Tianjin, which may have a certain adverse impact on the social consumption data in May. However, we believe that under the effective measures of all provinces in the country, it is the general trend to control the epidemic. It is expected that the epidemic will be gradually controlled in the third or fourth quarter of 2022, and consumption will recover or even rebound. In the short term, we suggest paying attention to the online sales of 618 promotion activities. Although there is a certain high base of sales during the 618 promotion in 2021, we still look forward to the rebound of e-commerce consumption in Shanghai and other places. The recent platform economic stimulus policy is also conducive to the performance improvement and competitive strength enhancement of e-commerce companies. Suggestions for next week: Wangfujing Group Co.Ltd(600859) , Shanghai Bailian Group Co.Ltd(600827) , Lao Feng Xiang Co.Ltd(600612) , Guangdong Chj Industry Co.Ltd(002345) , Vats Liquor Chain Store Management Joint Stock Co.Ltd(300755) .
Risk analysis:
The growth rate of residents' consumption demand did not meet expectations, the post real estate cycle affected the income growth of some sub industries, and the impact of channel reform on the existing business model was higher than expected.
