Investment suggestion: the company is the benchmark of China’s overseas brand. Reviewing the company’s history, it has not only achieved the core competitiveness of existing products / brands / channels, but also confirmed the strategic vision of the management; The existing foundation accumulates and builds the cornerstone. In the face of a broad market, it continues to iterate and has great potential. During the reporting period, the company relied on a single channel and the revenue decreased steadily; Affected by short-term factors such as freight and raw materials, the profitability decreased year-on-year. We are firmly optimistic about the growth of the company. It is estimated that the net profit attributable to the parent company from 2022 to 2023 will be 1.130 billion yuan / 1.370 billion yuan respectively, and the EPS will be 2.78 yuan / share and 3.37 yuan / share respectively. The corresponding valuation of the current stock price is 19.3/15.9 times PE respectively, maintaining the “buy” rating and the target price is 83 yuan.

Risk warning: product R & D risk or sub category development is seriously less than expected; The bargaining power at the channel end is greatly weakened or the cost is greatly increased; Risk of epidemic impact outside China; Significant changes in talent and organization.
