In 2022, the main task is to quickly distribute goods and help the company further develop the sinking market. We see that the sales team, the number of dealers and the number of terminal outlets are expanding rapidly during 2021q3-q4. The online channel has also launched the special contribution “small cheese cow cheese stick” for normal temperature, which breaks through the limitations of cold chain transportation of low-temperature products, so as to make full use of e-commerce channels. With sufficient capacity preparation, It can be predicted that the sales revenue of normal temperature products will increase quarter by quarter in 2022.

Investment advice

Q1 revenue is in line with our expectations. Considering the impact of the epidemic, the profit situation is still good.

The uncertainty of profit expectation is large, and the net profit situation is in the trend of improvement, which is more important. The EPS forecast for 202124 is adjusted from 1.02/1.66/2.24 yuan to 0.82/1.34/1.8 yuan. The closing price of 2022 / 3 / 29 is 34.46 yuan, corresponding to 42 / 26 / 19 times of P / E respectively.
