The Baijiu Bloodbath: Moutai's Plasticizer Panic

Cause

A blogger known as "Shui Jing Huang" alleged that liquor samples contained excessive levels of DEHP (a plasticizer). The panic spread from Jiugui Liquor to Kweichow Moutai, causing extreme market fear. Concurrently, the government's anti-corruption campaign severely hit high-end baijiu sales.

Process

Moutai denied the allegations and suspended trading, eventually proving its products were safe. However, the stock continued to slide throughout 2013 due to anti-corruption measures, losing a significant portion of its value. Market sentiment was at an absolute bottom.

Result

By 2014, the stock bottomed out and began a legendary decade-long bull run, eventually making it the most valuable company in the A-share market.
