Signs of reversal of the epidemic are beginning to appear, and we are optimistic about the investment opportunities of e-commerce express sector

The epidemic only affects the rhythm of the release of express demand, and does not change the medium and long-term trend of the industry pattern to be better and the volume and price rise together. Since 2021q4, the e-commerce express industry has switched to a new stage of high-quality development with high revenue growth and low capital expenditure growth. Yunda has benefited from the improvement of the industry structure and entered a dividend period of simultaneous rise in volume and price and rapid release of performance. The closure of the epidemic in the core cities since March has had a short-term impact on the business volume of the industry and companies. However, with the announcement that the social aspects of some regions have been cleared in Shanghai, the short-term impact of the epidemic is fading. The industry and enterprises are expected to benefit from the rebound in demand after the closure. They are optimistic that the leading enterprises will benefit from the investment opportunities brought by the improvement of the industry pattern and the continuous improvement of profitability.

The profit forecast and investment rating are adjusted according to the announcement of the company. It is estimated that the operating revenue of Yunda Holding Co.Ltd(002120) 20222024 will be 50.502 billion yuan, 58.477 billion yuan and 67.086 billion yuan respectively, and the net profit attributable to the parent company will be 2.467 billion yuan, 3.157 billion yuan and 3.817 billion yuan respectively. The corresponding PE from 20222024 will be 16.58, 12.95 and 10.72 million yuan respectively. Due to the impact of the closure of the epidemic, Yunda’s share price has been adjusted, the valuation has reached a reasonable range, and the “buy” rating has been maintained.
