The intensity of layout investment projects is maintained, the proportion of short-term investment projects is increased, and the layout strategy is more pragmatic.

It is suggested to pay attention to the revaluation opportunity of the company’s operating assets and maintain the “buy” rating

Based on the more conservative expectation of the profit margin of the infrastructure construction business, the forecast of the company’s net profit attributable to the parent company in 22 / 23 was slightly reduced to 20.7/23.3 billion (the previous value was 23.8/26.7 billion), the new 24-year forecast was 26.2 billion, and the 22-24 years yoy were + 15% / 13% / 12% respectively. The business structure determines that the company will benefit more from stable growth, and the REITs of the first single project has made important progress, which may help the revaluation of the company’s operating assets, maintain the company’s 22-year 10.5x target PE, reduce the company’s target price to 13.41 yuan, and maintain the “buy” rating.

Risk tips: infrastructure investment is weaker than expected, impairment risk, and the landing rhythm and implementation of REITs supporting policies are lower than expected
