Main points:
1. UHV, rapid growth of distribution network investment, steady growth of railway investment, optimistic about the company's revenue and profit prospects; actively expand new products to enhance competitiveness
The company's prospectus makes it clear that the company's wire and cable products are sold mainly by "direct sales", mainly by participating in the bidding of large customers such as State Grid, Southern Power Grid, Railway Corporation and so on. With the rapid increase of power grid investment and the steady increase of railway investment, the company is expected to continue to benefit.
In November 2014, there were three UHV lines under construction in China; at present, a total of 8 UHV lines are under construction, 1-2 UHV lines are expected to be approved this year, and 9-10 UHV lines are expected to be under construction by the end of this year. President Xi proposed to explore the construction of a global energy Internet at the United Nations headquarters in September, and several transnational networking projects are being carried out in an orderly manner. According to the announcement of the State Grid Corporation, the company has won the bid well in the bidding for power grid equipment. Considering the 20-24 month construction period of the UHV project, the main orders under construction are expected to contribute profits in the year after next year, which is expected to steadily increase the profits in the year after next year.

On August 31, 15, the State Grid began to bid for new batches of distribution network. At present, the State Grid is organizing the third batch of distribution network bidding (if new batches are considered, it is currently the fourth time in 2015). There is a large gap between the current investment and 300 billion, and it is expected that the bidding scale will be increased in the later stage, and the company will continue to benefit.
In October, the NDRC approved eight railway projects with a total investment of about 301.235 billion yuan. with the state increasing investment in railway projects, it is expected that the company's railway project orders and profits will increase steadily.

The company continues to increase investment in the research and development of new products and new technologies, and has successfully developed new products such as aluminum tube support wire aluminum alloy enlarged busbar, special photovoltaic cable, wrinkled copper sheathed fireproof cable, aluminum alloy special cable and so on. The project of special cable for urban rail transit and special cable for wind power generation is progressing smoothly. As the company actively increases the layout of special cable field, it will further improve its profitability.
