Of these, non-recurring profit and loss were 18 million yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 44 million yuan. The growth rate of net profit after deducting non-net profit improved faster than gross margin mainly due to revenue. We expect the company's net profit to be 32.4, 35.9, and 3.99 billion in 24-26, corresponding PE of 6.6, 6.0, and 5.4 times, and approved to give the company 9 times PE in 24 years, with a corresponding target price of 9.27 yuan, maintaining a “buy” rating.
Accumulate deep high-quality traffic data assets. Data elements help reassess the value. Recently, the Development and Reform Commission and the National Data Administration issued the “Key Work Points for the Digital Economy 2024”, which proposed 9 implementation measures, focusing on laying out digital infrastructure moderately ahead of schedule, speeding up the construction of a data infrastructure system, and promoting the implementation of “20 Data Rules”. We believe that a large number of high-quality data assets within the tunnel shares are worth paying attention to. The company operates more than 95% of Shanghai's municipal roads, and undertakes the task of operating and maintaining more than 2,300 kilometers of transportation facilities across the country. The first transportation data element product was signed and implemented Data resources are an important breakthrough from the business side to the product side. At the same time, the transportation infrastructure operated by the company is also expected to form relevant supporting support for the implementation of the low-altitude economy. It is recommended to focus on the company's data elements and flexible release under the catalyst of the low-altitude economy.
