The company issued the 2021 annual report

Benefiting from the rapid growth of downstream demand for product cultivation diamonds and industrial diamonds in the field of superhard materials, the profitability of the company has been significantly improved. In 2021, the gross profit margin was 20.74%, with a year-on-year increase of + 3.16pct. North Hongyang, a military subsidiary, lost 243 million yuan, which dragged down the company’s performance.
Cultivate diamonds in short supply and enjoy industry dividends through capacity conversion

In 2021, the company’s sales of superhard materials exceeded 5 billion carats, a decrease of about 1 billion carats compared with 2018. It is expected that the company will gradually tilt its production capacity to the cultivation of diamonds. The company has obvious advantages in large carat products. It can stably produce cultivated diamond blanks within 30 carats and can supply high-quality cultivated diamond blanks of more than 3 carats in batch. Since 2021, the company has accelerated φ 900 and other large chamber presses are installed, and the performance growth can be expected after the capacity is improved.

With the improvement and update of military procurement pricing mechanism, the performance is expected to continue to improve.

It is expected that the company will realize a net profit attributable to the parent company of RMB 973 / 1261 / 1409 million from 2022 to 2024, corresponding to the current PE valuation of 30x / 23x / 21x respectively, giving a “buy” rating.
