Investment proposal and investment object

Recently, the epidemic situation in duodi Omicron has been disturbed, the number of new cases has reached a new high in recent two weeks, and the epidemic prevention policies in various regions have been tightened. It is expected that the Spring Festival will still focus on local Spring Festival and home consumption. It is suggested to pay attention to the quick-frozen food benefiting the home economy; At the same time, it is suggested to pay attention to the conceptual target of prefabricated dishes and optimize the layout of companies with channel and supply chain advantages.

Quick freezing: because the epidemic disturbs the catering demand, the dynamic sales of end B are less than expected, and the epidemic in Henan, a large province of quick freezing, also interferes with production and logistics, while end C relatively benefits from the growth of family demand brought by the local Chinese New Year. It is suggested to pay attention to Sanquan Food Co.Ltd(002216) (002216, buy) with the continuous promotion of channel reform. At the same time, the concept of prefabricated dishes is hot. Specifically, due to the medium and long-term space of the industry, the new involvement of many listed companies, the recent repeated epidemic situation and the local Chinese new year, the orders of prefabricated dishes have increased rapidly and the attention has increased; However, the industry threshold is low, there are many participants, and the development is still early, there are few mature products, or there are short-term overheating and long-term space uncertainty risks; It is recommended to focus on companies with channel and supply chain advantages, such as Fu Jian Anjoy Foods Co.Ltd(603345) (603345, overweight).

Condiment: the share price of the sector has weakened in the past two weeks, which has aroused market concerns due to the switching of market style (increased attention of small tickets) and local epidemics in Tianjin. It is suggested to pay attention to the individual stocks that have a smooth price increase due to the industry pattern and product characteristics and have little impact on sales volume, as well as the individual stocks that are more likely to fall in cost, have large profit elasticity after the fall in cost and are expected to retain the price increase effect, such as Angel Yeast Co.Ltd(600298) (600298, buy), Chongqing Fuling Zhacai Group Co.Ltd(002507) (002507, not rated).

Snack food: under the pressure of the industry for 20 to 21 years (channel reform, cost rise, etc.), companies in the industry have made strategic adjustment and positive reform. 22 years is a year in which the results of the industry reform are gradually emerging. It is recommended to pay attention to the individual stocks Chacha Food Company Limited(002557) (002557, buy) with marginal improvement due to the reform (implementation of price increase policy, positive expansion of distribution channels, etc.), At the same time, it is suggested to pay attention to Bestore Co.Ltd(603719) (603719, increased holdings) with excellent medium and long-term value and strong business robustness.
