Large and medium-sized customers are leading, and the industry has entered a weak recovery. With the digestion of China Shanxi Guoxin Energy Corporation Limited(600617) overdraft effect and the bottom of the epidemic, the suppressed demand will continue to release, and the industry is expected to usher in an inflection point. Under “carbon neutralization”, the export market space of overseas electric buses is large; With the large-scale application of 5g and the expansion of business model, the urban microcirculation public transport market is expected to expand. In the short term, as the industry stabilizes, the company’s profitability is expected to recover. The electric vehicles of the company have global competitiveness and are optimistic about the export business in the medium and long term; In the long run, we are optimistic about the expansion of the four-dimensional profit model evolved by the bus industry from production manufacturers to integrated solution providers.

Risk tip: subsidies continue to decline, the sales volume of the bus industry does not meet expectations, and the appreciation of RMB affects the export price competitiveness of buses

Investment suggestion: lower the profit forecast and maintain the “buy” rating. Taking into account the disturbance of the epidemic, the rise in the price of raw materials and the reduction of bus trips, we lowered the company’s profit forecast. It is estimated that the company’s net profit attributable to its parent company will be RMB 880 / 11.8 / 1.77 billion from 2022 to 2024 (the previous profit forecast was RMB 2.03 / 2.56 billion from 2022 to 2023).

In the medium and long term, with the intelligent business model everywhere, the urban microcirculation bus market is expected to expand and the company’s valuation center is expected to improve.
