The special steel business has developed steadily and has broad development space. At present, the company is the leading enterprise of stainless steel long products in China, and the market share of stainless steel rods and wires in China has been in the top two for a long time. In 2021, the company's stainless steel business achieved product sales of 313600 tons, operating revenue of 5.975 billion yuan and net profit attributable to the parent company of 418 million yuan. The national development and Reform Commission requires that crude steel output continue to be reduced this year, and steel output is limited. With the gradual resumption of work in East China, the policies of reducing reserve requirements, relaxing real estate and steady growth of infrastructure construction are gradually put into force, the steel consumption is expected to improve, and the development potential of the company's special steel business is released.

Investment suggestion: considering the long-term growth of new energy vehicles, the lithium industry is expected to continue to prosper, the layout of the company's lithium business is progressing smoothly, the self-sufficiency rate of resources is improved, and it is deeply bound with the downstream leading battery factory. In addition, the company's special steel new material business is growing steadily. We estimate that the company's net profit attributable to the parent company from 2022 to 2024 will be 4.941 billion yuan, 5.942 billion yuan and 6.358 billion yuan. Based on the closing price on April 26, 2022, the corresponding PE will be 7x, 6x and 5x respectively, Maintain a "recommended" rating.

Risk tips: the demand is less than expected, the price of lithium has fallen sharply, and its own projects are less than expected.
