Investment Rating - The investment rating for the food and beverage industry is "Positive" (maintained) [1] Core Viewpoints - The liquor sector is entering a layout phase, with the snack segment being the preferred choice for consumer goods. The food and beverage index experienced a decline of 0.6% from November 3 to November 7, ranking 25th among 28 sectors, underperforming the CSI 300 by approximately 1.4 percentage points. The processed food (+2.3%), baked goods (+1.7%), and meat products (+0.8%) sectors performed relatively well. The food and beverage sector has significantly underperformed the market since the beginning of 2025 due to changes in consumer environment and market style. Factors include the impact of alcohol bans, pressure on household income expectations, and a noticeable shift of funds towards technology sectors. The current underlying logic of the sector indicates that the fundamentals are nearing a bottom, with recovery expectations gradually warming up. The negative impacts on the industry have largely been released, and the marginal effects of alcohol bans are slowing down. Some companies are actively reducing supply to achieve a balance between supply and demand, alleviating channel pressures and releasing channel risks. Strengthened policy expectations are boosting demand in related consumption areas. The fundamentals are at a bottom, and the sector's valuation has dropped to a low point, with fund holdings in food and beverage remaining at a low level, indicating a relatively good chip structure. Therefore, there is no need for pessimism at this stage. Looking ahead to 2026, the main theme for the food and beverage industry is a recovery from the bottom, with the pace and strength of recovery being closely related to macroeconomic conditions.
