At present, Pb is less than twice, and the valuation repair space is expected: from the perspective of Pb valuation, the valuation level of state-owned chemical enterprises is always lower than that of the chemical industry as a whole, and the current valuation level of state-owned chemical listed enterprises, especially the central enterprises listed in chemical industry, is at the bottom of history. The company’s share price has continued to decline since the second half of 2017, and pb-mrq fell below 1.0 at the end of May 2018. The company’s share price fell back after a slight rebound in early 2019 and entered a stable period. Although the company’s share price has increased since mid-2020, the overall Pb valuation is still at the bottom level. As of March 11, 2022, the company’s pb-mrq is only 0.82 times. With the continuous promotion of large-scale refining and chemical integration projects in Northeast China, the growth space of the company is gradually opened, and the future valuation is expected to be repaired.
