Market Focus07-07

On July 7, Nongfu Spring fell 3.32% in regular trading, trading at 40.28 HKD/share, with turnover of 90.96 million HKD.

On the news front, PET — the core packaging material for the beverage industry — has surged over 40% due to rising oil prices, directly pushing beverage bottle production costs up nearly 30%. Wahaha and CR Voss have already adjusted their channel supply prices, while Nongfu Spring has not publicly participated in this round of price increases, raising market concerns over its channel pricing strategy and profit margin pressure. According to Nongfu Spring's prospectus, PET costs account for approximately 30% of total cost of sales, making it highly sensitive to raw material fluctuations.

Additionally, the soft drinks sector declined broadly, with EASTROC down 0.71%, China Foods down 1.25%, CR Beverage down 0.51%, 5100 Xizang down 1.04%, and Hungfooktong down 1.43%, reflecting broad industry selling pressure weighing on individual stocks.
