Adverse factors or marginal improvement, medium and long-term growth potential energy will not decrease

We believe that the company’s cost side pressure is expected to be relieved with the decline of raw material and sea freight prices and the marginal improvement of the subsequent exchange rate. In the future, with the increasing supervision of overseas online channels, the cross-border e-commerce industry may usher in a further reshuffle. Considering that the company has cooperated with Amazon and other overseas e-commerce platforms for many years and has strong brand influence and scale effect, the market share of subsequent companies is expected to be further improved; In addition, under the background of the continuous launch of popular new products and the operation of omni-channel diversified platform, the medium and long-term performance growth potential of the company is not reduced, and the profitability is expected to be marginal repaired.

The company is the world’s leading cross-border brand operator of consumer electronics. With the continuous upgrading of brand strength and the superposition of comparative competitive advantages such as omni-channel layout + product innovation + localization construction, the medium and long-term growth logic of the company remains unchanged.
