Peer Comparison

In the future, the Company needs to optimize product pricing, market strategy, and operational efficiency to cope with market changes.

2. Successfully breaking the market monopoly and obtaining orders indicates its improved competitiveness in the market.
3. If effective measures are taken to cope with macroeconomic challenges and optimize operations, revenue growth may be restored.
Risks
1. Continued decline in market demand and fierce competition may further squeeze profit margins.
2. If new products fail to be launched on time or fail to meet market demand, it may negatively impact revenue.
3. The overall industry's profitability decline may lead to a weakening of investor confidence, affecting the Company's stock price performance.
