II. Views of the week

Gome retail recovered obviously at the beginning of the year, and the strategic transformation is difficult:

Huang Guangyu made his comeback debut, sending out a strong signal to strengthen investor confidence and plan to build a retail ecosystem, expand the scope of the supply chain and share strategic cooperation resources. In 2020, affected by the epidemic, the company's retail business was under pressure and carried out large-scale promotions. the annual revenue was 44.119 billion yuan, down 25.83% from the same period last year, and the GMV of the whole platform was 112.63 billion yuan. After the epidemic, entertainment sales such as online live streaming have improved month-on-month. 1Q21 revenue is expected to increase by more than 170% compared with the same period last year, "True Happy" APP GMV nearly quadrupled, MAU about 40 million, and DAU nearly 10 million. We believe that the company has a deep layout in the sinking market, and has laid out more than 3400 stores in more than 500 cities. in the future, it will be mainly joined and supplemented by the main business, which is in line with the sinking trend of industry consumption and is expected to overtake at the bend. However, at the present stage, the competition in the e-commerce industry is fierce, the recovery of consumer prices in China is general, consumption continues to be weak, and it is more difficult to turn losses into profits.

Comments on Pop Mart International's investment in more than 13 Hanfu brands:

Pop Mart International's investment in more than 13 reflects his layout ambitions in Hanfu IP: in the short term, the investment in well-known KOL broadens Pop Mart International's customer base and plays a positive role in enhancing brand exposure and improving e-commerce channel penetration; in the long run, this will help enrich Pop Mart International's existing IP assets and inject vitality into incubating more yuan of products in the future. From the perspective of more than 13, the reason for choosing Pop Mart International is to take a fancy to the latter's perfect sales network and IP operation strength, in order to explore offline scenes and enhance the influence of Hanfu brands.

III. Investment suggestions

In March, China's consumer prices recovered generally, and the industries with obvious short-term recovery were catering after the epidemic (Haidilao International Holding, Jiumaojiu, Yihai International), and the implementation of vaccines benefited from service-oriented consumption with low cyclical valuation. such as literature and tourism, film and television, aviation and other plate leaders. The short-term adjustment of the market will remain stable, and the investment strategy still needs to be based on defense. Investors should pay attention to the matching between corporate valuation and their own profitability, track macroeconomic trends, and focus on the leading and high-quality enterprises in the industry.

IV. Risk hints

Macroeconomic fluctuations; intensified industry competition; sustained weak consumption; recurrent epidemic situation; intellectual property protection and other risks
