Profit forecasting and investment advice. Demand growth in the express delivery industry exceeded expectations in 2024, and 24Q3 Yunda's performance continued to improve. Considering that in 24 years, under the influence of “small packaging”, industry demand continued to grow at medium to high speed, and the final business environment improved. The restoration and improvement of the company's comprehensive service capacity will continue to help improve the cost and cost side of the company, continue to realize its operating strength in terms of profit, maintain the company's net profit of 2/2.3/2.8 billion yuan to mother in 24/25/26, and maintain the “buy” rating.
Risk warning: risk of industry demand recovery falling short of expectations; risk of price war intensification; risk of rising oil prices.
