Core Viewpoint - The restaurant industry experienced high prosperity from 2019 to 2022, but has faced declining demand and performance pressure in 2023, leading to a downward adjustment in valuations, currently around a PE of 20 times. Despite this, the long-term development logic remains solid, with leading companies actively adjusting strategies for growth, indicating potential for a rebound if performance exceeds expectations. Additionally, capital expenditures are expected to decline in 2024, improving free cash flow and shareholder returns [1]. Group 1: Industry Performance - The restaurant industry's revenue growth is expected to slow to low single digits from 2019 to 2024 due to weak consumer recovery, significantly impacting the demand for frozen food products.

Market sentiment regarding the long-term growth potential of leading companies is pessimistic, despite the irreversible trend towards food freezing and significant long-term growth opportunities [2]. - The industry has faced performance pressure due to a mismatch between supply and demand, exacerbated by aggressive expansion during optimistic market conditions in previous years. Increased competition from a fragmented market has led to greater promotional discounts and higher expenditure, resulting in a decline in capital return rates.
