Wuliangye Tightens Online Sales Control to Stabilize Prices; Alcoholic Beverage Stocks Surge as Huabao Food & Beverage ETF (515710) Rises Against Market Trend

Deep News06-10

Food and beverage sector stocks saw an upward movement against the general market trend today (June 10). The Huabao Food & Beverage ETF (515710), which reflects the overall performance of the sector, experienced volatile trading but ultimately moved higher, with its on-exchange price rising 0.62% at the time of writing.

Among the constituent stocks, alcoholic beverage companies, including baijiu and beer producers, performed notably well. Zhujiang Brewery Co., Ltd. rose over 6%, Beijing Yanjing Brewery Co., Ltd. gained more than 4%, while shares of Shanghai Bairun Investment Holding Group Co., Ltd., Chongqing Brewery Co., Ltd., and Luzhou Laojiao Co., Ltd. were also among the top gainers.

On the news front, Wuliangye Yibin Co.,Ltd. recently published a "Statement on Wuliangye's E-commerce Sales Channels" on its official website. With the "618" major online shopping promotion currently underway, the company listed 57 authorized official e-commerce sales channels across various platforms. These include its own official store, as well as stores on JD.com, Tmall, Douyin, Kuaishou, Suning, WeChat, Vipshop, and Hema Fresh. This move is aimed at safeguarding consumer rights and ensuring they receive genuine products and services.

Analysts note that by clearly specifying the 57 authorized online channels during the 618 period, Wuliangye is strengthening online anti-counterfeiting measures and channel control to protect its brand value. This action reflects efforts within the baijiu sector to standardize online sales systems, curb price disorder and unauthorized reselling to stabilize pricing, which is seen as a positive for market sentiment.

From a valuation perspective, the food and beverage sector remains at a low level. Data shows that as of the previous trading day's close (June 9), the price-to-earnings ratio for the CSI Food and Beverage Sub-Industry Index, which the Huabao Food & Beverage ETF (515710) tracks, stood at 19.89 times. This places it at a low point, around the 5.69th percentile over the past decade, highlighting the potential medium- to long-term investment value.

Research from securities firms indicates a general industry view that current baijiu production is nearing the level of actual market consumption demand. The macroeconomic policy stance for 2026 is expected to shift towards "moderate support," with key reports explicitly calling for a shift in the general price level from negative to positive and promoting reasonable, moderate recovery in consumer prices. Fiscal and monetary policies are anticipated to remain appropriately accommodative, with a somewhat more favorable consumption environment compared to the previous year, providing some external support for a stabilization in baijiu demand.

For investors seeking core exposure to the food and beverage sector, the Huabao Food & Beverage ETF (515710) is a key instrument to consider. According to data from the China Securities Index Company, this ETF tracks the CSI Food and Beverage Sub-Industry Index. The index has a significant allocation to leading baijiu companies, with these holdings accounting for nearly 60% of the portfolio.
