Considering that the new project is in the early stages of development, the forecast for 2024-26 EPS will be reduced to 1.02/1.11/1.27 yuan (originally 1.1/1.18/1.29 yuan) growth rate of -6/9/ 15%; the target price will be maintained at 14.96 yuan to maintain growth.
Profitability is affected by factors such as depreciation, and operating cash flow is still impressive. 1) Q1-3 revenue growth rates in a single quarter were -2.46/ -7.95/ -10.1%, respectively, and -16.5/-25.4/ +10%, after deducting non-growth rates of -8.53/-17.8/ -1.59%, respectively; 2) gross profit margin of 68.1% /-2pct for the first three quarters, net profit margin 51.9% /-3.1 pct, net profit margin 50.1%, -1.8pct; we think it was mainly due to the increase in fixed depreciation and amortization of the Tianfu project, and the year-on-year decrease in investment return; 3) Expense rate 4.-5.7% for the period pct, Among them, the sales/management/finance expense ratios were 0.34/4.42/ -0.05%, respectively, -0.4/-0.42/+0.02pct; 4) Operating cash flow was 0.883 billion yuan/ +19.8%.

Project investment and industry introduction work.
We expect the high dividend policy to continue, and the current valuation is still undervalued. 1) The average dividend for the year 2021-23 was 0.808 billion yuan, with a dividend rate of over 100%; 2024H1 dividend of 0.299 billion yuan, with a dividend rate of about 88%; we judge that the higher dividend policy may continue in the future; 2) Considering the high revaluation value of the company's property assets (the self-operated store has a construction area of more than 1.1 million square meters and is located in the core area), currently only 12 times PE is still undervalued.
