Investment advice. Considering the decline in coking coal prices, we lowered the company's performance expectations. We expect the company's net profit to be 5.5 billion yuan, 5.9 billion yuan, and 6.5 billion yuan respectively from 2024 to 2026, corresponding to PE of 6.7, 6.2, and 5.7, maintaining the “buy” rating.
Risk warning: The commissioning of the mine under construction fell short of expectations, coal prices dropped sharply, and the progress of the project under construction fell short of expectations.
