Investment advice and profit forecast:
In the short term, the market demand faced by the company is recovering and the competition pattern is expected to change (poly, the company's main global competitor, is acquired by HP). The company has faced the background of repeated epidemic, exchange rate fluctuations, raw material prices and other adverse factors in 21 years, and the subsequent profitability is expected to continue to improve! In the medium and long term, the company continues to maintain the iteration of various business products, which is expected to enhance the comprehensive competitiveness of the company.
We continue to emphasize that the company's medium - and long-term development logic remains unchanged: 1) the company maintains continuous iteration of various products, and the competitiveness of comprehensive products continues to improve steadily, providing strong support for the company's operation; 2) The increased demand for cloud office terminals and video conferencing is expected to inject new growth momentum into the company. We expect the net profit attributable to the parent company in 22-24 years to be about 2.119 billion yuan, 2.764 billion yuan and 3.573 billion yuan, maintaining the "buy" rating.
Risk tip: exchange rate fluctuations lead to the slowdown of the company's revenue & profit, the intensification of competition in the desktop terminal & video conference industry, and the development of cloud office terminal business is less than expected
