In 2021, the company invested 333 million yuan in R & D, with a year-on-year increase of 59.14%. The company continues to carry out research and development to reduce costs and replace domestic raw materials and parts; The establishment of the company’s core technical barriers and the improvement of the competitive advantages of products and solutions promote the company to continuously lead the market and improve its bargaining power.

As a leading enterprise of high-precision satellite navigation and positioning in China, the profit prediction and investment rating company focuses on the core technology of high-precision navigation and positioning and has an industry-leading net profit margin.

Risk warning: the R & D progress is not as expected; Overseas market expansion is less than expected; Intensified market competition; The downstream expansion of the industrial chain is less than expected; The application of intelligent vehicle high-precision positioning products is less than expected; The high-precision positioning industry is difficult to copy the growth path of foreign giants due to different environments.
