Low base and high growth of the company: as a cutting-edge in the industry, the company has a low equipment base. The Baochang project invested by raising funds is gradually put into operation, with 20-30 new presses per month. At the same time, with high profits, the company has sufficient funds in hand to ensure the subsequent production capacity improvement. The company has entered the diamond production echelon of 3 carats, and the value of its core products has been greatly improved.
Investment suggestion: at present, the C-end penetration rate of the global cultivation diamond market is only 4%, and the high cost performance advantage drives the rapid growth of downstream demand. Chinese manufacturers supply 40% of the world's cultivated diamond blanks, which will significantly benefit from the rise of downstream demand Henan Liliang Diamond Co.Ltd(301071) as a cutting-edge in the industry, the equipment capacity base is small and the growth rate is fast. With the new capacity put into operation in the future, the performance will maintain high-speed growth. It is estimated that the net profit of the company from 2022 to 2024 will be RMB 438 / 630 / 827 million respectively, corresponding to the current PE valuation of 39x / 27x / 21x respectively, which is rated as "buy".
