Investment Rating - The industry investment rating is "Positive" (maintained) [1] Core Viewpoints - The dairy sector shows signs of improvement, with leading companies having investment value. The food and beverage index declined by 1.4% from November 17 to November 21, ranking 3rd among primary sub-industries, outperforming the CSI 300 by approximately 2.3 percentage points.

Key stocks such as Nanchao Food, Yili, and Gujing Gongjiu saw significant gains, while Sanyuan, Anji Food, and Huanle Family experienced notable declines. The year 2026 may mark a turning point for the dairy industry, presenting a good opportunity for left-side positioning. The industry's fundamentals are nearing the bottom, with a narrowing decline in liquid milk demand and a decrease in dairy cow inventory improving supply-demand dynamics. The pace of milk price decline is expected to slow, with a potential rebound in milk prices anticipated in 2026, leading to a simultaneous recovery in liquid milk volume and price. The reduction in cost-side benefits may alleviate price wars, decreasing promotional efforts by dairy companies and improving gross sales margins.
