People Finance News, March 15 — A CITIC Securities research report indicates that recent significant price increases in PET, a major raw material for beverage companies, have drawn market attention, causing beverage company stock prices to experience substantial pullbacks. Through a review of historical oil price/PET price hike cycles and cost sensitivity analysis, the report believes that the overall cost situation for beverage enterprises is currently controllable. If PET prices continue to remain at elevated levels, it may lead to moderating industry competition, and enterprises are expected to partially offset the negative impact of raw materials through reduced expense spending. The report recommends seizing layout opportunities in leading enterprises following the sector's pullback.

By reviewing historical oil prices/PET price hikes and analyzing cost sensitivity, it is believed that the overall costs for beverage companies are currently manageable.
