Risk tip: there is a risk of decline in industry sales, and the expansion of new customers does not meet the expected risk.

Investment suggestion: lower the profit forecast and maintain the “buy” rating. Taking into account the impact of the rise in the price of raw materials, we lowered our profit forecast for 22 / 23 / 24. It is expected that the net profit attributable to the parent company will be RMB 477 / 700 / 839 million in 22 / 23 / 24 (the previous forecast was RMB 570 / 750 million in 22 / 23), and the corresponding EPS will be RMB 1.27/1.87/2.24. The company has gradually cut into joint venture customers, international well-known brand electric vehicle enterprises and some new force car manufacturing enterprises. The passenger car business has a large growth space. Considering the smooth expansion of new customers, the reasonable valuation range of the company has been raised to 47-56 yuan (the previous reasonable valuation range was 45.3-52.9 yuan), corresponding to 25-30x PE in 23 years, maintaining the “buy” rating.
