Core Viewpoint - The liquor sector, particularly the baijiu industry, is currently experiencing a rebound, with expectations for further investment opportunities in the second half of the year as the industry is rapidly bottoming out [1][7]. Summary by Sections Market Performance - The baijiu sector has seen a significant rebound, with a notable increase on August 20, 2023. However, since 2021, the industry's valuation has been in a continuous decline, with the current PE-TTM at 18.61 as of August 19, 2023 [7]. Investment Logic - Institutions suggest that the baijiu sector is now at a point where gradual investment can be considered. The low expectations and recent price corrections have led to valuations being at a low point. Additionally, the proportion of funds holding baijiu stocks has decreased, indicating a relatively favorable chip structure [4][5][7]. Future Outlook - The baijiu industry is in a phase of rapid bottoming, with leading companies likely to take advantage of this period to adjust their channel structures and enhance market development capabilities. If consumer demand begins to recover, these companies are expected to benefit significantly [5][8]. - The baijiu sector is characterized as a cyclical growth stock, with a forecasted earnings bottom potentially occurring in the first half of 2026. Price signals suggest that baijiu stock prices may turn upward before demand-side recovery [5][8]. Industry Transition - The positioning of the baijiu industry is shifting due to changes in the macroeconomic environment and consumer structure. By 2025, the industry is expected to transition from being a cyclical growth sector to a value dividend asset that emphasizes stable cash flow and consistent dividend capabilities [5][8].
