Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Wuliangye is widely known as the best strong-aroma baijiu producer in China. Its strong brand and extensive distribution network should help the firm succeed in its expansion into the high-end market.

Bears

The baijiu sector is slightly more cyclical than beer, particularly in the premium segment and above. An economic slowdown could further weaken the demand for premium baijiu beverages, including Wuliangye.
