Profit forecast and valuation
Based on the higher-than-expected impact of the rise in raw material prices, we have lowered our EPS9.9%/6.9% by 2021 / 2022 to 0.34 yuan / 0.45 yuan respectively. The current share price corresponds to 61.4 times 2022 / 45.8 times earnings. Considering that the price of raw materials is a short-term factor, the industry rating and 25.00 yuan list price will be maintained, corresponding to a price-to-earnings ratio of 51.4 times earnings in 2022, which is 20.5% higher than the current stock price.
Risk
The price of raw materials has risen sharply; competition in the industry has intensified.
