Cut the profit forecast and maintain the “buy” rating

The company’s performance is in line with the performance forecast issued by the company on January 10, 2022 (it is expected to realize the net profit attributable to the parent company of 6739689 million yuan – 6909689 million yuan). However, in view of the repeated outbreaks in many places in March 2022 and the uncertain recovery process of the epidemic in the future, we lowered the prediction of the company’s EPS in 2022 / 2023 by 7% / 12% to 1.97/2.34 yuan, and increased the prediction of the company’s EPS in 2024 by 2.75 yuan. The company has a close relationship with upstream wineries and obvious competitive advantage, maintaining the “buy” rating.

Risk tip: the cooperative relationship with upstream wine enterprises has not been maintained, and the channel expansion has not reached the expectation.
