In 21 years, the company’s revenue and profit continued to recover steadily, but in the first quarter of 22 years, affected by the Chinese epidemic and the recovery rhythm was disturbed, we still need to pay attention to the recovery progress of Wuxi Online Offline Communication Information Technology Co.Ltd(300959) demand in the short term. In the long run, the company is expected to have a broad space for parity and cost performance positioning. At the same time, small brands are still actively cultivated and the potential is expected to be released.

Considering that the short-term Chinese epidemic still suppresses the demand side and has uncertainty, we lowered the company’s EPS for 22-23 years and new 24 years to 0.59/0.71/0.81 yuan (28% and 22% lower than the previous profit forecast), corresponding to 8 times of pe22 years. The company has the attribute of undervalued value and high dividend. The dividend yield in 19-21 years was 5.75% / 5.26% / 10.47%, providing a stable return and maintaining the “buy” rating.

Risk tip: the impact of the epidemic in China exceeded expectations, resulting in weak terminal consumption; Abnormal weather; The decrease of terminal sell out rate leads to the increase of inventory pressure; Online growth is less than expected; Improper M & A integration, or the progress of small brand cultivation is less than expected.
