Investment suggestion: the company's capacity under construction is put into operation one after another, and the self-produced coal is expected to continue to increase in volume. At the same time, under the background of the increase of Changxie coal benchmark price and the sharp rise of coking coal price, the company's comprehensive coal price center moves upward with strong certainty. In the future, the company is expected to increase both volume and price, with large growth space. We expect that from 2022 to 2024, the company will realize a net profit attributable to the parent company of RMB 25.0422795831.046 billion, corresponding to EPS of RMB 1.89/2.11/2.34/share respectively, and PE corresponding to the closing price on April 27, 2022 of 5 / 4 / 4 times respectively, maintaining the "recommended" rating.
