Profit forecast and rating: We are optimistic that the company will actively expand its marketing network, steadily expanding from the five core provinces to the whole country, and improving product strength to drive product structure optimization. The company's net profit to mother for 2024-2026 is expected to be 310 million yuan, 380 million yuan, and 480 million yuan respectively.
