Investment suggestion
In the first half of 17 years, the company's performance growth was mainly driven by the merger of three subsidiaries, namely, Vanguard, Xinhua and Aurora Mobile Limited Network.

We estimate that the operating income of the company in 2017, 2018 and 2019 is 1.819 billion, 2.15 billion and 2.509 billion respectively, the net profit attributable to the parent company is 335 million, 432 million and 555 million respectively, and the earnings per share are 0.40,0.52,0.67 yuan respectively, and the corresponding PE are 51.29,34.96,27.16 respectively.
