TREE NEWS reports: CITIC Securities advised increasing allocations to leading baijiu distillers at the industry’s bottom, noting that food and beverage fund holdings and their share stabilized and rebounded in the third quarter of 2026. Baijiu holdings rose the most among sub-sectors, with more funds adding positions in Kweichow Moutai, Shanxi Fenjiu and Gujing Gongjiu. The brokerage also outlined three themes for mass-market products: easing competition, high dividends and large-cap growth.
CITIC Securities: Add to Top Baijiu Makers at Industry Bottom
The notable signal here is positioning rather than fundamentals: CITIC's call rests on fund holdings stabilizing and rebounding, with baijiu leading sub-sector inflows — a sign that institutional appetite is returning before earnings visibility does. That matters most for the large-cap names where funds added exposure, and for the dividend and mass-market themes the brokerage flags as adjacent plays. Whether this marks a genuine bottom or just a positioning rebound is the open question, and the next test is whether fund flows keep building through subsequent quarters.
