After the inspection IGI appraisal, the product color grade Dmure E color, purity grade VS above, the quality has reached the world first-class level, the company's CVD preparation technology to a new level, long-term industrial application can be expected to have a larger market space.
Risk tips: increased competition in the industry; cultivation of diamond production capacity expansion is not as expected; downstream demand is not as expected.
Investment suggestion: as the leader of the superhard material industry, the company is in the leading position in the market position, product quality, production capacity and other aspects. Under the high prosperity of the industry, the company will fully benefit from the high outbreak of the industry, and the performance is expected to continue to be realized.
