This week’s view
At present, we recommend two main lines: (1) Vocational Education: Shanghai Action Education Technology Co.Ltd(605098) , Jiangsu Chuanzhiboke Education Technology Co.Ltd(003032) ; (2) Higher education: at present, some higher education stocks 22pe have fallen below 10 times, mainly due to: 1) higher education companies are cautious about M & A expectations, partly due to the current upside down valuation in the primary and secondary markets; 2) At present, most regions have not yet issued detailed rules for the selection of business and non business, and the market is worried about the policy risk of higher education stocks; 3) Concerns about future price increases and the ceiling of net interest rates. We believe that, on the one hand, the performance of higher education sector continues to be stable; on the other hand, the state accelerates the implementation of vocational undergraduate work, and private undergraduate schools are expected to benefit. We continue to recommend China Education Holdings, hope education, Gaoxin education group, Zhonghui education, China Science and technology training, etc.

Risk tips
Uncertainty of epidemic impact: the progress of epidemic recovery has an impact on offline education. Risk of policy change in the education industry: the policy change in the education industry affects the enrollment and fees of K12, vocational education and higher education companies. The risk of enrollment not reaching the expected number: the weakening of terminal demand or the weakening of the enterprise’s own advantages make enrollment difficult.
