Trading Strategy of Zijin Gold on the First Day of IPO

<ul>
<li>The spin-off of Zijin for an independent listing is equivalent to presenting a "pure gold business" to the market. Such "asset revaluation" can unlock the hidden value of gold business.</li>
<li>For enterprises like Zijin in the upstream of gold industry chain, a sustained high and rising gold price is usually a significant positive factor. However, there are also potential risks.</li>
<li>Zijin Gold has better growth potential than peers, so we think its valuation range could be P/E of 18-22x. If based on 2025 net profit forecast, valuation is US$36.9-45.1 billion.</li>
