Investment advice and profit forecast: at present, China’s online video field has begun to enter the stage of cost reduction and efficiency increase.

In 2021, the company’s original variety shows and comprehensive N-generation programs can create good broadcasting results, driving the significant growth of advertising, investment attraction and the number of members. In the short term, although the promotion activities led to the decline of member arppu, the company officially raised the member price from January 2, 2022, which is expected to drive the recovery of member arppu value.

In terms of new business, Xiaomang e-commerce, a vertical content e-commerce platform, has reached a peak dau of 1.26 million in continuous brand building, which is expected to provide positive profit contribution to the company in the future.
