Peer Comparison

2. Peer evaluation analysis: If other companies in the industry maintain revenue growth in 2024, KOP's decline may be related to its product competitiveness or market strategy adjustments. However, the lack of specific data makes it difficult to support peer comparisons, but the overall industry situation will affect KOP's market performance.
