Profit forecast and rating: as the leader of the medicine bag, the company takes cold stamping composite hard film products as the core, and continues to expand its application scenarios in new consumption, new energy, electronic protection and other emerging fields. The founder and core team of the company have a professional degree background and have been focused on the field of pharmaceutical high barrier packaging for 20 years with rich experience in the industry. Due to the large increase in raw material prices, the company's operating costs have increased significantly, and the company's profit forecast has been lowered. We estimate that the company's 2023 net profit will be about 1.2x1.6 billion (the previous value is 1.5x1.9), and the corresponding PE will be 28x20x15X, maintaining the "buy" rating.
