Upgrade to “buy” rating: we maintain the net profit forecast of 830 / 900 million yuan for 22-23 years and 960 million yuan for 24 years, corresponding to PE 14x / 13X / 12x. We are optimistic about the development opportunities brought by the digital trend of the industry to the company and the pull of the East digital West computing project on the demand for white exchange in the data center. Considering that the valuation has been adjusted to the low level, we raise it to “buy” rating.

Risk tips: trade friction affects overseas business, data center products have a negative impact on gross profit margin, and the weakening of growth leads to the downward movement of long-term valuation center.
