Industry core view:
Last week, the Shenwan retail trade index fell 1.42%, outperforming the Shanghai Composite Index by 0.21 percentage points. From the social zero data released by the Bureau of statistics, the social zero in December was + 1.7% year-on-year. Affected by the sporadic outbreak of the epidemic in China, the growth rate was 2.2 PCT lower than that in November. We believe that in the short term, the winter epidemic will counterattack, and the consumer market will face uncertainty. However, with the more accurate and effective epidemic prevention and control and the gradual implementation of the “stable growth” economic policy, China’s consumption is expected to return to a stable growth trend in the future. Suggestions: ① medical beauty: the potential space on the demand side is broad, the supervision on the supply side is stricter, the upstream profitability is strong, and the competition pattern is good. Focus on the investment opportunities brought by the rapid expansion of leading enterprises through technological progress, category expansion, channel sinking and so on; ② Cosmetics: the demand for cosmetics is strong in the face value economy. Recently, a number of cosmetics related laws and regulations have been issued, and the industry is facing a reshuffle, which will benefit the leading companies of compliant cosmetics; ③ Gold jewelry: the epidemic situation accelerates the industry integration, channel reform and the improvement of multi scene penetration, which is good for the leading enterprises of gold jewelry; ④ Mother and baby: since the implementation of the three child policy, governments across the country have issued a number of birth incentives. It is expected that the birth rate is expected to boost in the future with the implementation of more relevant supporting measures and policies. It is suggested to pay attention to the investment opportunities of mother and baby racing track in advance.
