Core Viewpoint - The article highlights a significant transformation in the Chinese tea beverage market, contrasting the declining performance of traditional brands like Xiangpiaopiao with the rapid growth of new tea drink companies such as Mixue Ice City and Guming, indicating a shift in consumer preferences from instant tea to freshly made tea drinks [4][12]. Group 1: Xiangpiaopiao's Challenges - Xiangpiaopiao, once a leading brand in the instant tea market, reported a revenue of 1.035 billion yuan in its half-year report, a year-on-year decline of 12.21%, and a net profit loss of 97 million yuan, a staggering drop of 230.13% [6]. - The decline is primarily attributed to a 31.04% drop in sales revenue from its instant tea products, which has significantly impacted overall performance [6]. - In response to these challenges, Xiangpiaopiao is attempting to reposition its brand towards younger and health-conscious consumers by launching new products like "original leaf freshly brewed milk tea" and "ancient five red warm milk tea" [6][10]. Group 2: Growth of Freshly Made Tea Brands - In contrast, new tea drink companies such as Mixue Ice City, Guming, and others have shown remarkable growth, with a combined revenue exceeding 33 billion yuan and a total net profit of over 5 billion yuan in the first half of the year [12]. - Mixue Ice City achieved a revenue of 14.87 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 39.3%, and a net profit of 2.72 billion yuan, up 44.1% [12]. - Guming also reported impressive growth, with a revenue of 5.363 billion yuan, a 41.2% increase, and a net profit surge of 121.51% [12]. Group 3: Market Dynamics and Consumer Preferences - The tea beverage industry is experiencing a shift towards health and freshness, with consumers increasingly prioritizing product ingredients and health benefits, leading to a rise in fresh fruit and vegetable drinks [17]. - The competition is intensifying as freshly made tea brands establish robust supply chains, with Mixue Ice City achieving 100% self-sourcing of core ingredients and Guming providing rapid cold chain delivery to 98% of its stores [19]. - The integration of online and offline channels is becoming crucial for brand expansion, as consumers view tea drinks not just as beverages but as social and emotional experiences [18].

Core Insights - The recent surge in mergers and acquisitions in the consumer sector contrasts with the sluggish growth of the consumption market, raising questions about the underlying investment logic of top-tier capital [1][4]. Group 1: Current Market Conditions - The retail sales of consumer goods in China reached 36.59 trillion yuan in the first three quarters, showing a year-on-year growth of 4.5%, which is still below the 8% growth rate of 2019 [1]. - The performance of listed companies in the consumer sector reveals significant disparities, with major players like Kweichow Moutai and Yum China experiencing slowed growth compared to previous years [2]. - Smaller food and beverage companies are facing considerable operational pressures, with many reporting declines in both revenue and net profit [2].

Group 3: Future Trends in the Consumer Market - The consumer market is expected to face challenges due to slowing income growth and increased savings, which will test the resilience of companies [6]. - Companies are increasingly optimizing their business structures by divesting non-core assets and focusing on high-quality resource integration [6]. - Three key trends are emerging: innovation in cost-performance, the rise of niche products that provide immediate satisfaction, and growth in self-improvement sectors such as health investments and knowledge-based services [6]. Group 4: Capital Market Dynamics - The challenges of exiting investments in the domestic capital market are influencing the selection of investment targets and strategies [7]. - Capital is shifting towards a "long-term battle" approach, favoring structures that allow for continuous returns through dividends rather than relying solely on IPOs for exits [7].

The brands being targeted have significant market influence and established networks, providing a solid base for future growth [5]. 3. The current market downturn presents a favorable opportunity for capital to acquire these brands at lower prices, allowing for potential value enhancement through improved governance [6]. 4.
