Orders are growing steadily, and I am optimistic about the company's overseas business expansion
The company won a total of 20.93 billion bids for the building decoration business in the first three quarters, +8.80%.

24Q1-3 has undertaken a total of about 0.53 billion photovoltaic construction projects (BIPV), of which 0.38 billion yuan was won in Q3 in a single quarter. The company formulated an “overseas” strategy for the curtain wall business, actively expanded the Middle East market including Saudi Arabia and Dubai, as well as markets in Asian countries such as Japan, South Korea, and Indonesia, and successfully won the bid for Indonesia's Two Sudirman Jakarta curtain wall project, with a contract amount of about 0.261 billion yuan. The company is expected to gradually expand the overseas export business of products and expand new business growth poles.

A leader in the curtain wall industry, maintaining a “buy” rating
The company adheres to the collaborative development of multiple brands, focuses on the fields of curtain wall, interior decoration and design, and implements leading strategies. Through technological innovation, intensive management and business collaboration, we promote standardization, systematization and integration of the building decoration business to achieve steady and sustainable development. The curtain wall business will continue to consolidate its leading position in the industry and promote high-quality development. Considering the strong downward pressure on real estate and a slight reduction in profit forecasts, we expect the company's net profit to be 0.73, 0.83, and 0.95 billion (previous values were 0.76, 0.87, and 1 billion), respectively, corresponding to PE of 8.9, 7.7, and 6.8 times, maintaining the “buy” rating.
Risk warning: New business development falls short of expectations; overseas operation risks; project implementation falls short of expectations.
