Valuation and investment advice

The company's performance in the 1H21 was affected by the COVID-19, and revenue recorded a high single-digit decline, in line with our previous expectations. The management stated that the company's sales growth accelerated during the period from September to October, and the progress was satisfactory. It is expected to accelerate sales through online and offline interactive strategies during Double 11, but the operating environment in the second half of the year is uncertain. Maintaining our forecast on company's full-year revenue, it is expected that the company's annual revenue will record low double-digit growth YoY. The company's cost control in the first half of the year is adequate. We raise the company's eps forecast FY21/FY22 to RMB 44.61/ 50.19 cent, and raise the target price to HKD 12.53, corresponding to the FY21E/FY22E P/E ratio of 25.0x/22.2x.(Closing Price as at 3 November 2020)
