Profit forecast and investment rating: affected by the rising prices of sulfur, coal and other bulk raw materials, the company's profit in the fourth quarter of 2021 decreased month on month. Therefore, we lowered our profit forecast for the company. It is estimated that the net profit attributable to the parent company in 2021 / 2022 / 2023 will be 3.621 billion yuan, 4.016 billion yuan and 4.201 billion yuan respectively, corresponding to 10.81, 9.75 and 9.32 times of PE respectively. Considering that the company's main products are still in a high business cycle and the valuation is still at a low level, the "buy" rating is maintained.
