Profit forecast and investment rating: due to the impact of 2022q1 epidemic on the performance of short-term consumer goods business, we lowered the EPS forecast for 202223 to 3.35/4.23 yuan (the original value was 3.61/4.97 yuan), and the EPS forecast for 2024 to 5.12 yuan. At present, the stock price corresponds to 17.49 times PE in 22 years. After 2021q2, the company’s performance has gradually returned to the normal level and the base has decreased. We are optimistic about the stabilization of the company’s medical dressing business income and the growth of health consumption business income. The merger and acquisition of Longtai medical is expected to be completed in 22q3. In the future, the company is expected to acquire more high-quality medical targets. At present, the company’s stock price is at a low position and maintains the “buy” rating.

Risk factors: reduced demand for downstream epidemic prevention supplies, rising prices of raw materials, increased losses from exchange rate fluctuations, intensified industry competition, etc.
