Profit forecast and investment suggestions. Cost improvement will be the biggest fundamentals of SF in 2022. The improvement of four networks financing and capacity utilization will continue to be realized at the gross profit end, and the annual cost reduction will exceed the 21-year level. At the same time, the optimization space of expenses during this period is underestimated by the market, which also significantly improves the core profit. In the long run, the production of Ezhou airport will inject new momentum into the growth of time-effective parts, and the price increase of e-commerce parts under the guidance of industrial policies will also optimize the profitability of SF Express's whole product line; Together with Kerry Logistics, it is expected to open a new growth curve of SF international business from the aspects of management team, business collaboration and asset reuse. We believe that the current market value of 220 billion only reflects the value of SF time limited network, and there is no reasonable pricing for the marginal improved express, intra city and other businesses, as well as the call options with high growth of international business. We are optimistic about the rise of the company's long-term business barriers, and suggest paying attention to the long-term opportunities brought by the epidemic and short-term shocks such as oil prices. It is estimated that the net profit of S.F.Holding Co.Ltd(002352) attributable to the parent company from 2022 to 2024 will be 6.82 billion yuan, 8.81 billion yuan and 10.39 billion yuan respectively, corresponding to 33, 25 and 22 times of the current PE respectively, maintaining the "buy" rating.
Risk tip: the growth rate of e-commerce consumption decreased, capital expenditure exceeded expectations, and the cultivation of new business was less than expected.
