Profit forecast: under strict policy supervision, the price war eased, the industry began to compete for services, and the company’s direct marketing model has inherent advantages. At the same time, the company will continue to enjoy the cost optimization brought by the four networks financing and fine operation. In addition, Ezhou airport is expected to be put into trial operation in the first half of 2022, which will provide a strong growth power for timeliness, international business and supply chain. The bargaining power of the company’s products is up, the cost is optimized, and the performance repair flexibility is large. Considering the repeated epidemics in many parts of the country and the rise of oil prices since March, the profit forecast has been slightly reduced.
