Investment suggestion: we suggest to pay attention to the infrastructure chain, and infrastructure investment is expected to play a “grasping” role to effectively hedge the downward pressure in 2022, especially Q1; Pay attention to the transformation and upgrading of old and new energy sources, and invest in green power leaders. We expect the net profit attributable to the parent company from 2022 to 2024 to be RMB 33.5 billion, 33.5 billion and 32.1 billion. The corresponding dynamic PE of the stock price on March 25 is 6, 6 and 6x respectively, maintaining the “recommended” rating.

Risk warning: the weather change is less than expected; The epidemic situation affects the construction rhythm; The implementation of infrastructure projects is lower than expected.
