The company’s government enterprise security business includes several fist products such as local security brain and terminal security, as well as safe operation and services.

“Internet Security + government and enterprise security” two wheel drive, “basic disk” superimposes “high growth”. The large number of users, traffic and data brought by Internet business has effectively promoted the rapid growth of the company’s network security business. According to the company’s 2021 annual report, the revenue from security business and other businesses was about 1.381 billion, a year-on-year increase of 70.91%. In 2021, security and other businesses accounted for 12.72% of the company’s revenue, nearly doubling year-on-year growth compared with 6.96% in 2020.

Investment suggestion: it is estimated that the company will achieve a revenue of RMB 12.665/14.565/15.876 billion and a net profit attributable to the parent company of RMB 1.077/11.85/1.298 billion in 22-24 years. The current market value corresponds to 53 / 48 times of PE in 22-23 years. Considering that the company is turning to the network security track in an all-round way, we believe that the company has the dual attribute of “Internet + network security”, which is scarce in the industry. Considering the future incremental space of the market, we believe that the company has broad growth space. For the first coverage, give a “recommended” rating.

Risk warning: the risk of repeated epidemic; Digital transformation is less than expected; The increased demand for project customization brings the risk of decline in gross profit margin.
