Analysis of Yili Group Making the Hot List: Driven by Performance Growth and Consumption Rotation

Yili Group (600887.SH), as a leading enterprise in China’s dairy industry, made the hot list on November 15, 2025. There are multiple driving factors behind this phenomenon [1]. According to internal analysis data, the company’s 2025 performance was outstanding: it achieved revenue of 61.933 billion yuan in the first half of the year, a year-on-year increase of 3.37%, and net profit of 7.016 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 31.78% [0]. The third-quarter performance was even more impressive: revenue was 28.915 billion yuan, up 5.77% year-on-year, and net profit was 2.326 billion yuan, up 44.65% year-on-year [0].

From the perspective of market performance, Yili Group’s stock price was relatively stable in 2025, fluctuating between 26.65 yuan and 31.12 yuan, with a recent trading price of about 28.35 yuan [0]. The company’s market value was approximately 180.146 billion yuan, with a price-to-earnings ratio of about 22.49 times, and its valuation was at a relatively reasonable level [0].

: Yili Group’s strong performance is the core factor for becoming a hot stock. Especially the 44.65% year-on-year growth in Q3 net profit, which far exceeded the revenue growth rate, showing a significant improvement in the company’s profitability [0]. This performance is closely related to the company’s strategic layout of actively exploring business increments and deep processing technology becoming a new engine for the dairy industry [0].

: As a leading enterprise in the dairy industry, Yili holds a 12.27% weight in the Food and Beverage ETF, ranking as the third largest holding [0]. This institutional heavy position makes the stock an important indicator of institutional capital flow. When the consumption sector receives attention, Yili Group naturally becomes one of the preferred targets for capital.

: In 2025, the large consumption sector received key attention from capital, and top capital was “bottom-fishing” for consumer stocks [2]. As an industry leader, Yili Group benefited significantly from this round of consumption sector rotation. Market data shows that the Food and Beverage ETF has been actively traded recently, reflecting the reallocation of capital to the consumption sector [2].

:

• Strong momentum of continuous performance growth and significant improvement in profitability
• Stable institutional capital allocation with high weight in mainstream ETFs
• Capital inflow opportunities brought by consumption sector rotation
• Solid leading position in the industry with strong risk resistance capabilities

:

• The stock price has fluctuated in a relatively high range, so valuation risks need to be watched
• Consumption sector rotation has cyclical characteristics, and capital flows may change
• The dairy industry is highly competitive, so changes in market share need to be continuously monitored

Yili Group making the hot list reflects the market’s recognition of its fundamental improvement. The company’s 2025 performance was outstanding, especially the substantial growth in net profit showing good profit quality [0]. As a core target in the consumption sector, Yili Group occupies an important position in institutional capital allocation, which provides support for its stock price [0][2].

Current consumption sector rotation brings additional market attention to Yili Group, and the “bottom-fishing” behavior of top capital on consumer stocks further strengthens this trend [2]. Investors should pay attention to the sustainability of the company’s performance and changes in capital flows in the consumption sector, which are key factors affecting the future performance of this stock.
