Investment advice

We are optimistic about Shanghai Zijiang Enterprise Group Co.Ltd(600210) . As a leader in China’s packaging material printing industry, the company has always been an excellent supplier of Coca Cola, Pepsi Cola, Unilever and many other well-known enterprises at home and abroad. The company began to set up an aluminum-plastic film team in 2004. It is the first enterprise in China to develop aluminum-plastic film technology and have mass production capacity. Its development process is also the closest to that of Japan and South Korea, and has the conditions to become the leader of domestic aluminum-plastic film. Benefiting from the domestic substitution and the rapid development of the downstream new energy vehicle industry, combined with the release of the company’s new production capacity, the performance is expected to continue to grow rapidly. Considering that the growth rate of the company’s revenue in 2021 slightly exceeded our expectations, we raised the forecast of the company’s revenue of 10.369/12.247 billion yuan in 2022 / 2023 to 10.571/12.282 billion yuan, and the revenue in 2024 was 14.164 billion yuan. At the same time, considering that the current commodity price continues to be high, which may have a partial negative impact on the company’s future profitability, the company lowered the prediction of EPS of 0.51/0.63 yuan in 2022 / 2023 to 0.41/0.50 yuan, and EPS of 0.61 yuan in 2024. Corresponding to the closing price of 6.22 yuan / share on March 18, PE is 15.31/12.35/10.19x respectively. Maintain the company’s “buy” rating.
