<li>The essence of Haitian's business is “hard-earned money”.Although performance rebounded in 2024, more observations on net profit are needed.It’s time to take a look at Haitian from a different angle.</li>
<li>The past high valuation of Haitian is due to the market's high expectations for it, or rather, the market's optimism about its performance growth. However, Haitian's moat is not deep.</li>
<li>A comfortable valuation range is 20-30x P/E. Based on the IPO pricing and 2025 forecast, P/E is about 27.5-28.5x. So, we think the IPO pricing range of Haitian is reasonable.</li>
