In the first quarter of 2022, the company’s overall gross profit margin was 36.92%, an increase of 3.93% year-on-year. The company’s loss in the first quarter was mainly 125993 million yuan of asset impairment loss accrued in the first quarter of 2022 (under the background of uncertain external environment, in order to avoid future business risks, the company decided to terminate the construction of headquarters building and global R & D center, and decided to return the land use right, land use right and impairment provision for construction in progress); The income from changes in fair value was -2.19 million yuan, mainly due to the decline in the share price of Tonghui information (the company participated in the fixed increase of Tonghui information in 2021).

At present, the company’s solutions have been widely used in film and television, finance and communication, advertising, education, government and enterprises, leasing, cultural tourism night tour and digital content. Under the background of repeated overseas epidemics, the overseas market is facing great uncertainty.

Investment strategy: considering the impact of asset impairment loss and upstream raw material price rise on the company, we lowered the company’s profit forecast for 22 / 23 years and added a 24-year profit forecast. It is estimated that the company’s net profit attributable to the parent company from 2022 to 2024 will be 69 / 115 / 142 million yuan (the original value in 22 / 23 years is 127 / 156 million yuan), and the corresponding PE will be 36 / 22 / 18 times. The company continues to develop LED display and financial technology business, especially mini LED display products, which are expected to gradually increase in volume. However, considering the recovery rhythm of the company’s overall business, the company maintains its “neutral” rating.
