CITIC Securities pointed out that the reason for the weakness in the beer industry in the second quarter was mainly due to abundant rainfall in China's Yangtze River and south of the Yangtze River, and overall sales performance was poor; the non-fresh beer drinking scene continued to grow, and pressure on catering channels and nightclubs was high, resulting in average product structure performance; and a high base for the same period in 2023. Looking ahead to the second half of the year, the beer industry will gradually enter a low base range, compounded by declining raw material costs and improved weather, and there is a high possibility of improvement.
Shen Wan Hongyuan pointed out that although demand is pressured in the short term due to lack of weather and consumption scenarios, there is still room for growth in the medium to long term along with the increase in channel coverage and the introduction of more high-end products.

The dividend rate (2023) corresponding to the company's current dividend rate of 80% or more reached 4.3%, which is quite attractive.
