<li>LXJ’s revenue/net profit showed an upward trend from 2022 to 24Q1-Q3, but growth momentum was decreasing. The same store sales growth dropped significantly. Profit margin is also lower than peers. </li>
<li>There’re significant differences in dietary habits and tastes across China, making it difficult for LXJ to expand nationwide. So, the future growth potential may not be as good as expected.</li>
<li>In December 2021, valuation of LXJ had reached RMB18 billion. Since LXJ’s revenue growth/profit margin are inferior to Xiaocaiyuan, we think the valuation of LXJ should be lower than Xiaocaiyuan.</li>
