The company's EPS in 2019-2021 was lowered to 0.25/0.32/0.36 yuan (originally 0.44/0.52/0.56 yuan). The company was strongly expected to benefit from infrastructure recovery, giving the company 18 times the valuation in 2019, lowering the company's target price to 4.50 yuan (originally 5.70 yuan), and maintaining the “gain” rating. The company's operations were stable, and sales remained high in the first quarter.

Infrastructure is expected to pick up, and overseas sales capacity will increase. The issuance of national special bonds continues to actively promote superposition policies, and infrastructure investment will continue to pick up in 2019.
