In the first quarter, the epidemic occurred repeatedly. Under the influence of the “circuit breaker” mechanism and the traditional off-season of tourism, the company’s total revenue fell in a single quarter. At present, the outbound tourism business has not been restarted. The company adjusts the market layout, promotes China’s tourism wholesale and retail business, explores the reconstruction of industrial chain structure, and continues to improve the tourism product system with local peripheral tourism and theme tourism as the core. China’s epidemic prevention and control efforts are still relatively strict. The company actively transformed to explore business opportunities at the bottom of the industry, and its confidence in long-term recovery remains unchanged.

Valuation

In the past 22 years, the epidemic has been repeated for many times, and the company’s business has been blocked due to strict control measures taken all over the country. The company’s short-term performance will still be under pressure. However, the company actively transformed and focused on China’s peripheral tourism, and superimposed policies are good for tourism recovery. Considering that the company’s main business is outbound tourism, the consumer demand is waiting to be released after the opening of the country, and the logic of long-term recovery remains unchanged, adjust the EPS of 22-24 years to -0.02/0.16/0.19, corresponding to the P / E ratio of -398.6/41.8/35.0, and maintain the overweight rating.

Main risks of rating

Covid-19 epidemic risk is repeated, the recovery of outbound tourism is less than expected, and the landing of cooperation projects is less than expected.
