Profit forecast, valuation and rating: the 22-year business goal is that the revenue and net profit will increase by about 15% year-on-year. The impact of the short-term epidemic may slow down the growth, but the social inventory remains healthy and the price of core products is stable. The payment collection task of fiscal year 22 has been basically completed in Jiangsu and other core markets. The company has firmly adhered to the high-end strategy, increased the expansion of group purchase customers, and the new collection has a good growth trend. The new well platform has been listed in April 22. Considering the repeated epidemics in key markets, follow-up or continued high marketing investment, the forecast of net profit for 22-23 years was lowered to 1.39/1.67 billion yuan (7.0% / 8.6% lower than the previous forecast), and the forecast of net profit for 24 years was increased to 2.03 billion yuan, equivalent to EPS of 2.85/3.43/4.15 yuan. The corresponding P / E of the current stock price was 28 / 23 / 19 times, maintaining the “buy” rating.

Risk warning: the competition of China’s second high-end liquor is intensified, and the cost of the Baijiu is not as effective as expected.
