However, the impairment provision, high financial costs and other factors continue to drag down performance. In the short term, it is expected that these factors will have limited improvement, and the company’s performance will still be difficult to achieve sustained and rapid growth.
We therefore downgraded the company to “overweight” rating. After the historical burden of the trading sector is gradually digested, the company’s market value is expected to usher in a systematic revaluation.
