Cut the profit forecast and maintain the “overweight” rating

The company’s performance was slightly lower than expected, mainly due to the intensified competition in the industry and the impact of the epidemic. In view of the repeated epidemic situation in many places in the first quarter of 2022 and the uncertain recovery process of the epidemic, we lowered our forecast of EPS in 2022 / 2023 by 16% / 21% to 0.09/0.10 yuan, and added 0.11 yuan to our forecast of EPS in 2024. The upgrading of the company’s stock stores and the continuous promotion of the online process are conducive to consolidating the company’s competitive advantage in Shandong and maintaining the “overweight” rating.

Risk tip: some store leases cannot be renewed when they expire, and the expansion speed of new business formats and new stores does not meet expectations.
