The revenue of forging and casting business accounted for 74.9% in 2021, and the proportion continued to increase for four consecutive years (an increase of 9.9ppt compared with 2017). In addition, with the improvement of equipment capacity, large and complex forgings will increase the company’s market share, and the company will continue to improve its profitability by adjusting its product structure. We expect the net profit attributable to the parent company from 2022 to 2024 to be RMB 1.219 billion, RMB 1.617 billion and RMB 2.145 billion respectively. The current share price corresponds to PE of 31x / 23x / 18x from 2022 to 2024. Considering the continuous high prosperity of the downstream industry and the company’s core position in the industry, we give 40 times PE in 2022, with EPS of 1.16 yuan / share in 2022, corresponding to the target price of 46.35 yuan. Maintain a “recommended” rating.

Risk tip: the downstream demand is less than expected, the industry competition pattern changes, and the order delivery progress is less than expected.
