Incidents. The company announced its 2024 three-quarter report. In the first three quarters, the company achieved operating income of 1.683 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 3.66% (achieved operating income of 0.457 billion yuan in the third quarter, a year-on-year decrease of 62.08%); net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies was 0.511 billion yuan (net profit to mother was 0.245 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 34.10%), a year-on-year decrease of 33.09%; achieved fully diluted earnings of 0.33 yuan per share in the third quarter (achieved fully diluted earnings of 0.16 yuan per share in the third quarter) .
In the first three quarters of 2024, the company achieved a weighted average return on net assets of 4.03%, down 2.31 percentage points from the previous year (the third quarter achieved a weighted average return on net assets of 1.91%, down 1.15 percentage points from the previous year).
The main reason for the 62.08% year-on-year decline in the company's revenue in the third quarter of 2024 was the decrease in space carrier sales revenue in the current period compared to the previous period. In the third quarter of 2024, the main reason why the company's net profit to mother decreased by 34.10% year-on-year was that space carrier sales revenue for the current period decreased compared to the previous period, but the company's investment income and fair value change income increased sharply in the current period, which led to a narrowing of the decline in net profit to mother in the current period compared to the decline in revenue.

The reasonable value range is 32.37-40.46 yuan, maintaining the “superior to the market” rating. We expect the company's 2024-2025 EPS to be 0.76 yuan and 0.86 yuan respectively. Considering that the company is an important developer of Zhangjiang Science City, the only listed company among the operators of Zhangjiang Science City, responds positively to national strategic opportunities, actively connects with global innovation resources, and the company's RNAV value is 40.46 yuan, so the reasonable range for the corresponding company is 32.37-40.46 yuan, corresponding to the 2024 dynamic PB of 3.68-4.60 times, maintaining a “superior to the market” rating.
