高速发展下的苹果概念股立讯精密，如何走出自己的路

HONG KONG, Jan 18, 2023 - (亚太商讯 via SEAPRWire.com) - 深耕苹果产业链耕耘多年，立讯精密持续获得客户信赖，业绩年年攀升，2016年营收仅137.6亿人民币，2021年已获得十倍增长至1539亿，净利润为70.71亿。在消费电子行业整体不够景气的情况下，凭借消费电子、电脑互联产品及精密组件收入，立讯精密2022年前三季度营收仍增长79.30%至1452.52亿元，截至2023年1月17日，立讯精密市值已超2200亿人民币。（图片来源：立讯精密年报）虽然营收层面实现了高增长，但营业成本的增长使得毛利率下滑，资料显示2022年第三季度，立讯精密的毛利率为13.08%，同比降2.92个百分点；净利率为4.81%，同比降0.58个百分点。市场开始质疑，公司太过于依赖主要客户的订单。苹果2022第四财季财报显示，iPhone 14 Pro系列两款手机的确出现了供不应求的情况，但对应的iPhone 14、iPhone 14 Plus的表现却未达苹果预期。幸运的是，在大客户手机组装业务上，由于原有供应商结构上的调整，立讯精密整体反而未受到客户订单调整的影响，甚至好于预期的表现。此外，据天风国际知名苹果分析师郭明錤称，苹果高端iPhone 15机型将采用固态按键设计，并将配备额外的Taptic Engine来模拟物理按钮的力反馈感觉。可以推测，苹果Taptic Engine供应商立讯精密或将受益。但立讯精密并未满足于此，面对多变的外部环境，公司也在提升核心技术和制造实力，随着精密智能制造和数字化智慧平台的优化，已经进一步实现从零部件供应商向系统级解决方案供应商转变，预计2022年70%的利润来自于系统组装和模组业务。除消费电子板块外，立讯精密正在布局汽车板块和通讯板块。多年深耕消费电子板块所积累的经验使得立讯精密相比同业更快切入新的赛道。根据公告显示，2022年2月，立讯精密与奇瑞新能源共同组建合资公司，致力于新能源汽车的整车研发及制造。但立讯精密并没有整车生产的布局，而是为立讯精密汽车核心零部件业务提供前沿的研发设计、量产平台及出海口，以实现公司成为汽车零部件Tier1领导厂商的中长期目标。目前公司已经构建汽车线束、连接器、智能新能源、智能网联等主力产品线，同时客户的开拓和项目认证、放量等，无论是国内外的新势力车厂还是传统品牌车厂，都一步一个脚印的按计划推动。2022 年上半年业绩显示，立讯精密汽车业务营收 21.11 亿元，同比增长 19.04%，跃居各板块业务第三。对标消费电子板块，立讯精密当前的汽车板块业务还处于发力期。随着中国新能源汽车市场需求不断提高，中国自产汽车配件的需求也将释放。凭借其在消费电子板块的成功模式，以及公司对于技术和创新升级的坚持，未来在汽车板块会有非常可观的生命周期。相比消费电子而言，汽车产品的延续性更强，这也是公司多元化布局重要的一步。在通信板块，立讯精密也早早找到了入局的抓手。立讯精密的通信业务目前聚焦设备及数据中心两个部分。设备部分基于与客户的成功磨合，正在按正常的节奏向前推进；数据中心部分，公司也可依靠自身在高速传输上的优势以及目前在热传方面的前瞻性布局，不断提升多品类综合解决方案的能力，助力客户的长期发展。除此之外，立讯精密也在寻找其他布局，从整合上下游优势资源开始，深度融合产业能力，从技术研发到精密智造，公司一直在寻觅优势企业强强联手的全新模板，创造产业链深度融合。公司并不满足于一个大客户，而是凭借在消费电子精密制造领域经验丰富，机光声电全方位布局，抓住行业的机会，延展多元业务，另一方面看准和看好汽车行业供应链，多地密集布局汽车业务产能，以及其他业务多线并行，多元化布局持续落地未来成长动能充沛。 Copyright 2023 亚太商讯.

“大家的果园” 百果园集团正式登陆香港交易所主板市场

HONG KONG, Jan 17, 2023 - (亚太商讯 via SEAPRWire.com) - 1月16日，深圳百果园实业（集团）股份有限公司香港交易所主板上市仪式活动在香港与深圳两地圆满举办。上午9点30分，随着两地同时敲锣的浑厚声响，百果园集团正式在香港交易所挂牌上市，成为“中国水果连锁零售第一股”，由此登陆国际资本市场。股票简称：百果园集团，股票代码：2411.HK。百果园是中国最大的水果零售企业，同时拥有国内水果行业最大的分销网络，2001年成立于深圳，截至目前，线下门店网络共有5645家门店，遍布全国22个省市的140多个城市。百果园的使命是“让天下人享受水果好生活”，让越来越多的人享受到好吃的水果，让越来越多的人因百果园而健康快乐。中共深圳市盐田区委常委，区政府常务副区长、党组副书记曾坚朋在仪式开场致辞中表示，“百果园集团是辖区企业的优秀代表，始终深耕水果零售领域，经营全渠道、拓展多品类、优服务的发展布局。希望百果园集团以此次挂牌上市为新的起点，不忘初心、乘势而上、砥砺前行，不断取得新的更大发展，以优异业绩回报社会和广大投资者，为盐田区、深圳市乃至全国经济社会高质量发展做出新的更大贡献。”在港交所现场，百果园集团联合创始人、副董事长田锡秋与海阳津成泰董事长方舜真同台敲锣。随后，礼品互赠环节，田锡秋将百果园的吉祥物“猴果果”摆件赠予港交所，并祝愿港交所兔年大吉大利、香港股市繁荣兴旺。在深圳主会场，百果园集团创始人、董事长余惠勇与集团总裁徐艳林两人代表敲锣，集团常务副总裁、零售事业群总裁焦岳作为集团经营团队代表与一众嘉宾共同上台见证。当天，以“大家的果园”为主题，百果园集团还举办了上市庆祝活动。驻华使馆外宾、各地各级政府部门、行政事业单位、国内外行业协会、院校及科研机构、股东、中介机构、合作企业、生态圈伙伴等嘉宾代表，近500人现场出席。值得一提的是，“大家的果园”是余惠勇在创办百果园第一年的时候就提出的口号，也是百果园集团曾在公司十周年之际举办活动的主题。在余惠勇看来，百果园想要做成，必须依靠众人的力量；要靠众人的力量，公司就应该是大家的。由此也可见，从初创期，到第十年，再到今天，公司的发展始终不忘初心。天图资本是百果园集团最早的、也是目前最大的机构投资人。现场，深圳市天图投资管理股份有限公司管理合伙人潘攀发表讲话，他说道“百果园经历了多个完整的经济周期，是一家成熟稳定且长期主义的公司，同时百果园团队也一直在顺应趋势迭代变化，放眼中国的生鲜市场，未来空间还很大，上市是往前走的第一步，相信未来的道路会越走越好。”百果园集团此次上市，摩根士丹利为独家保荐人。现场，摩根士丹利亚洲有限公司董事总经理及亚太区消费零售投资银行部主管许择汤发表讲话，他说道，“百果园的上市是2023年的零售第一股，是过去一年多第一个开红盘的零售股，为我们资本市场重启新的更好的一年，再次感谢公司给我们摩根士丹利助力公司的机会，这也是我们全球启航的开始，我们会继续努力护航公司，祝贺公司现在是中国的第一，未来更会是世界的第一。”现场，百果园集团创始人、董事长余惠勇发表了题为“天下公器为天下”的演讲。他说道，“上市公司是公众公司，从今天开始，我们要时刻警醒自己—天下公器为天下，以此谋求百果园的长期、稳定、永续发展。”何为“为天下”呢？他认为，为顾客即为天下，牢牢确立“一切为了顾客”的观念，永远追求顾客满意，永远对顾客心怀感恩、心怀敬畏。同时要不断降低成本，不断追求“好吃又不贵”的高性价比。为员工即为天下，公司要不断稳健发展，为各种类型的人才提供广阔而巨大的发展空间。同时百果园要坚守家文化，百果园最大的成就不是开了多少家店，而是培养堂堂正正的百果园人为首要任务。为加盟商即为天下，与加盟商结成“一损俱损，一荣俱荣”的命运共同体。同时，增强加盟商对百果园文化和战略的认同感，提升加盟商心性，使加盟商成为真正的百果园人。为供应商即为天下，以百果园文化和理念筛选、培育志同道合的供应商。同时，以种植技术、金融资本等支持赋能，促进供应商发展，提升供应商的供应能力。为行业即为天下，果业是健康产业，水果是不需要教育的健康食品。同时，坚定“行业兴，企业兴；行业旺，企业旺”的观念，维护行业的长远利益，引领行业朝正确的方向发展。为社会即为天下，百果园坚持“一肩挑两民，一头农民，一头市民”，不仅为顾客提供美味、营养、安全的食物，更重要的是让种植者因为想种出“好吃”而卖上好价钱，从而尊重自然、遵循规律，敬畏自然、敬畏规律。为股东和投资人即为天下，百果园将持续全身心投入事业，为股东和投资人谋求长期稳定的收益和回报。同时，信奉长期主义，坚持做艰难而正确的事情，坚持不懈，直至成功。回顾百果园的发展，可以说是一部不断穿过“无人区”的历史。在这过程中，针对水果存在的巨大差异，百果园首先设立了中国首套基于口感的全品类果品标准分级体系，将水果按“糖酸度、新鲜度、爽脆度、细嫩度、香味、安全性以及大小、颜色及无缺陷”等指标分成招牌级、A级、B级、C级4个等级，再根据不同的标准进行定价。这套标准体系适用于整个产业链的标准搭建，包括品类品牌建设。近几年，受宏观经济增速放缓以及疫情等因素影响，尽管部分行业线下实体持续承压，但百果园却在逆势中不断壮大，营收逐年上涨，2022年上半年，百果园营业收入同比增长7%至59.15亿元，经调整净利润为2.05亿元，同比增长34%。除了业绩表现亮眼之外，公司还在疫情下逆势扩张，近三年多以来百果园门店总数增加了上千家，主要集中在居民区、商业街等高人流量区位。与此同时，百果园还打造了丰富的线上销售渠道，包括百果园APP、微信小程序，天猫、京东、抖音等线上官方旗舰店，还与美团、饿了么、口碑等第三方外卖、到店平台合作为消费者实时配送水果。公司已建成全国性的贴近社区、线上线下联动、店仓一体化、及时达与次日达一体化的水果专营零售网络。逆势增长，营收势头良好，离不开百果园的“两架马车+三根支柱”发展战略支撑。“两架马车”即品类品牌和渠道品牌（百果园、果多美），三根支柱即信息技术、资本赋能、农业技术。截至目前，百果园集团已打造了31个独家分销的招牌及A级自有产品品牌。基于金融资本、信息科技、种植研发的能力和投入，百果园集团还成立了“产业四化研究院”，将聚焦于信息化、数字化、智能化、机械化，对产业链进行深度改造。水果行业看似门槛低，在过去难以被“正视”。百果园这一品牌创办后，“卖水果”这件事开始逐渐变得标准化、品质化、品牌化。如今，随着百果园集团在香港交易所主板挂牌上市，相信也将极大提升水果从业者的尊严和自豪感。开一个小店卖水果，也可以成为一份事业。除了对从业者的提升，随着百果园集团上市后的进一步发展壮大及市场扩大，以“不好吃三无退货”为服务标准牵引，势必也将提升全行业服务消费者的水准。三无退货是余惠勇早在10年前就大胆提出的，只要顾客在百果园买到水果，觉得不好吃，就可“无需实物、无需小票、无需理由”退货。这听起来相当冒险，甚至违背商业规律，但在其背后，遵循的是百果园基因中的信任、利他文化。百果园门店开到哪里，服务水准与信任、利他文化就会带到哪里。当然，这样的信任也为百果园取得了良好的发展成果，截至目前，百果园的会员数超过7300万名，付费会员数超过94.6万名，2021年平均月活会员数超过700万名，会员的整体复购率为49%，在水果专营零售经营商中位列第一。历经检验，百果园集团终在国际资本市场“乘风破浪”，如今正式成为一家公众公司，也将承担更多的社会责任。其中，公司十分重视ESG的建设，董事会专门成立ESG委员会，检视及批准ESG目的、策略、优先事项、倡议及目标。除了日常“春暖花开”公益项目的开展，百果园还将通过推广BLOF生态和谐型种植技术、优化产品包装、建立健全公司SGS管理体系，为消费者提供绿色、健康的营养食品，引导农户实现农作物种植过程中“不使用化学肥料、不使用化学农药、不使用化学激素”，助力社会可持续发展。新的起点，新的征程，也将孕育新的希望，百果园将紧抓“零售品牌”、“批发服务”、“品类品牌”，在寻求企业更好发展同时，助力实现振兴中华果业。历经20余年发展，百果园集团现已成为集水果生鲜采购、种植技术支持、采后保鲜、物流仓储、标准分级、营销拓展、品牌运营、门店零售、信息科技、金融资本、科研教育于一体的大型连锁企业。2023年，相信在成为上市公司后，百果园集团也将更加公开、透明和规范，进一步做强做大做优，以“大家的果园”为载体，更好践行“让天下人享受水果好生活”。 Copyright 2023 亚太商讯.

百果园正式登陆港交所水果零售龙头强者愈强

HONG KONG, Jan 16, 2023 - (亚太商讯 via SEAPRWire.com) - 1月16日，水果零售行业知名品牌深圳百果园实业（集团）股份有限公司（「百果园」或「公司」，2411.HK）正式在港交所主板挂牌上市，发行价最终厘定为每股5.6港元，每手500股，募资总额达4.42亿港元（绿鞋前）。根据弗若斯特沙利文数据，按2021年水果零售额计，百果园是中国第一大水果零售商。同时，公司拥有中国水果行业最大的分销网络，按水果零售额计，在中国所有水果专营零售经营商中亦位列第一。那么，百果园是如何在「小、散、乱」的水果零售市场中脱颖而出，逐步成长为水果零售行业的龙头企业呢？品牌化经营优势凸显业绩稳健增长在经营上，百果园在中国率先建立了以口感为导向的全品类水果产品果品质量分级体系，并在此基础上建立优质果品的生产标准，通过上游赋能以及强大的渠道力，为消费者提供持续稳定好吃的水果，充分增强消费者黏性，扩大了品牌声誉。目前，百果园已打造出红芭蕾草莓、猕宗猕猴桃、良枝苹果等多个具有竞争优势的自有产品品牌。截至最后实际可行日期，公司成功将31个招牌级及A级品牌推向市场，是中国水果行业中少有的兼具知名产品品牌和渠道品牌的企业之一。从品牌战略上看，高质量的产品品牌有效加强了品牌溢价，推动公司盈利能力提升。2021年，百果园自有品牌水果的零售价平均高于同类B级果品零售价两倍。伴随着品牌力的不断增强，百果园业绩迎来稳健增长。2020年至2021年，营业收入分别为人民币88.54亿元、102.89亿元；净利润分别为人民币4570万元、2.21亿元。2022年上半年，营业收入达人民币59.15亿元，同比增长7%；净利润达人民币1.86亿元，同比增长近39%，远超收入增速。由此可见，百果园在收入稳健增长的同时，盈利能力正在显著提升。构建多重竞争优势引领行业整合升级百果园的发展，也离不开其在供应链、渠道等方面构筑的竞争优势。在供应链环节，百果园积极向产业链上游延伸，全产业链布局打造知名品牌。目前，公司已整合了从种植、采购、仓储、物流到零售各环节的全产业链优质资源，实现从供应到零售端保持质量稳定并达到采购与销售上的高效协同。在渠道方面，百果园很早就开启新零售领域的探索。在to C端，公司搭建一个贴近小区、在线线下一体化及店仓一体化的水果专营零售网络，满足小区居民的个性化消费需求。在线，完成了百果园APP、微信小程序、天猫、京东、抖音等电商平台以及美团、饿了么等第三方外卖平台的全渠道铺设，并积极尝试直播等新渠道营销模式，全方位触达消费者。在线线下店仓一体化的模式，进一步提升了百果园配送效率，扩充门店销售范围，帮助企业实现高周转、低耗损。在to B端，百果园通过全资附属公司海阳津成泰和海南王品等向大型商超或果品分销商进行水果批发业务。据了解，海阳津成泰目前主要向香港及东南亚等地区供应水果。通过津成泰，百果园得以获得稳定的优质水果供应及进入其成熟的国内外市场，并通过海阳津成泰稳步扩展业务网络。从行业发展看，目前中国传统鲜果产业链格局分散，程序复杂冗长、标准化程度较低。不过随着行业龙头企业的上市，现有水果流通行业格局将得到改变，行业品牌化、连锁和集中度有望进一步提升。百果园积极布局全产业链，持续优化产业链效率，在强大品牌效应下，能够有力巩固竞争优势，实现强者愈强的发展。 Copyright 2023 亚太商讯.

鹰普精密：美国同业三年上涨近300% 公司对标估值极低业绩盈喜极具成长性

HONG KONG, Jan 16, 2023 - (亚太商讯 via SEAPRWire.com) - 近期美国公布的最新宏观数据并不理想，市场预期美联储到2023年底仍会不断加息，届时联邦基金利率可能达到4.9%，较高的利率水平又引发市场担心资产价格被重估，近段时间美股受压明显。美国同业Howmet近三年股价上涨超300%但对好公司来说，资本市场永远不缺资金与机会。Howmet Aerospace（豪梅特航空机件公司，美股代码：HWM）的股价就一直向上，不断创出历史新高；股价自2020年5月最低价9.87美元，上涨到今年1月10日的收市价40.55美元，三年上涨了近300%，近半年上涨了近30%。Howmet是工程金属铸件和精密机加工件产品的全球领导者，以熔模铸件销售额计算为行业第二大（第一大为巴菲特已在2015年私有化的Precision Castparts Corp.），目前市值为168亿美元，市盈率估值为38.6倍，市净率为5.1倍，市销率为3.0倍。鹰普精密与Howmet比较估值极低在香港资本市场，就有一家与Howmet同属熔模铸件行业的鹰普精密(01286.HK)，公司是全球领先的高精密度、高复杂度及性能关键的铸件和机加工零部件制造商，为全球第六大也是中国最大的熔模铸件生产商，与Howmet对标的话，公司目前市值仅为6.2亿美元（49亿港元），市盈率约为8倍，市净率1.1倍，市销率0.9倍，可以说公司被极度低估。鹰普精密财报盈喜业绩极具成长性作为全球十大高精密铸件和机加工零部件制造商之一，鹰普精密不但被低估，而且极具成长性。公司近日发布了盈喜公告，预计2022年度销售收入上涨15%至43.5亿港元；净利润5.5-6.0亿港元，同比上涨43-56%；与Howmet一样，鹰普精密也是受惠于疫情后航空业务的复苏，飞机零部件市场供不应求，未来业绩值得期待。虽然公司净利和销售收入均创历史新高，但公司股票当前收市价为2.60港元，股价并未创出历史新高还尚处于底部区域，与历史最高股价5.20港元比，有相当的向上空间。港股高精密部件行业龙头液压、航空将成公司新增长引擎作为港股市场稀缺的高精密部件行业龙头，公司规模大，至2022年销售已超43亿港元，同时公司业务已经进行全球化运作。截至目前，公司在北美、欧洲及亚洲拥有21家工厂、10间销售办公室、8个物流仓储中心。并于2022年8月15日及10月31日分别以近5900万人民币完成收购的佛山美锻，及以6500万欧元完成收购丹麦丹佛斯集团（Danfoss）旗下丹佛斯动力系统（江苏）有限公司的液压摆线马达业务，强化航空和液压行业的布局。中国特色估值体系重估标的之一2022年11月21日，在2022年金融街论坛年会上，中国证监会主席易会满在谈及上市公司结构与估值问题时表示，需要探索建立具有中国特色的估值体系，促进市场资源配置功能更好发挥。显然，监管层已经清楚的认识到，包括港股和A股在内的一批上市公司估值被市场极度低估是极不合理的；监管层指出，需要深入研究成熟市场估值理论的适用场景，把握好不同类型上市公司的估值逻辑。相信监管层发出的探索建立具有中国特色估值体系的信号，一定会在投行及机构投资者层面慢慢发酵并逐步得以实施。与海外对标公司相比，鹰普精密估值就属于极不合理的状况。从美国股市发展历程看，上市公司价值的合理重估可能会迟到，但绝不会缺失。此外，鹰普精密的市值即将超过50亿港元，很可能于今年下半年入选港股通标的，内地投资者将有机会参与投资。作为高精密部件行业稀缺的龙头标的，公司业绩一直保持持续增长。相信在多重因素的催化下，鹰普精密将在一条新的资本市场曲线上渐行渐远。 Copyright 2023 亚太商讯.

Impro: Share price of U.S. peer up nearly 300% in three years. Impro issues positive profit alert with extremely low comparable valuation

HONG KONG, Jan 16, 2023 - (ACN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - The latest macro data published by the U.S. is not ideal. The market expects the Fed will continue to raise interest rates through to the end of 2023. By then, the federal funds rate may reach 4.9% and the higher interest rate level will once again trigger market concerns about asset price revaluation. It is clear that US stocks have been under pressure recently. U.S. peer Howmet's share price has risen by over 300% in the last three yearsFor well-managed companies, there is never a shortage of capital and opportunity in the capital market. The stock price of Howmet Aerospace (US stock code: HWM) has been on an upward trajectory, hitting new all-time highs. It has increased from a low of US$9.87 in May 2020 to a closing price of US$40.55 on 10 January this year, representing a surge of close to 300% in three years and nearly 30% in the last six months. Howmet is a global leader in engineered metal castings and precision machining products. It is the second largest in the industry in terms of investment casting sales (the market leader is Precision Castparts Corp., which Warren Buffett took private in 2015) with a current market capitalization of US$16.8 billion. Its price-to-earning (P/E) ratio is estimated at 38.6 times, and its price-to-book (P/B) ratio and price-to-sales (P/S) ratio is 5.1 times and 3.0 times, respectively.Impro's valuation is extremely low compared with HowmetImpro (01286.HK) is a company listed on the Hong Kong capital market and is engaged in the same investment casting business as Howmet. It is a world-leading manufacturer of high-precision, high-complexity and mission-critical casting and machined components, and the sixth largest investment casting manufacturer in the world and the largest in China. Compared with Howmet, Impro's current market capitalization is only US$620 million (HK$4.9 billion), with a P/E ratio of approximately 8 times, a P/B ratio of 1.1 times and a P/S ratio of 0.9 time. It is evident that the Company is significantly undervalued.Impro Precision issues positive profit alert Results is set for further growth As one of the world's top ten manufacturers of high-precision castings and machined components, Impro Precision is underestimated and has huge scope for further growth. The Company recently issued a positive profit alert. Its sales revenue for 2022 is expected to increase by 15% to HK$4.35 billion, with net profit of HK$550-600 million, a year-on-year increase of 43-56%. Like Howmet, Impro Precision has also benefited from the recovery of its aerospace business after the pandemic. With the market for aircraft parts in short supply, the Company's future performance has great potential. Despite the Company's record net profit and sales revenue, its share price closed at only HK$2.65, still below its all-time high and in the bottom range. Compared with the historical high of HK$5.20, there is still considerable room for upward movement.Leading stock in high-precision parts industry in Hong Kong Aerospace and Hydraulics businesses will become its new growth engineAs one of the few leading high-precision component companies in the Hong Kong stock market, with strong economies of scale, the Company's sales exceeded HK$4.3 billion in 2022, and it has established a global presence. To date, the Company has 21 plants, 10 sales offices and eight logistics and warehousing centers in North America, Europe and Asia. It also completed the acquisition of Foshan Ameriforge at a consideration of nearly RMB59 million and the hydraulic orbital motor business of Danfoss Power Solutions (Jiangsu) Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Danfoss Group, for EUR65 million, on 15 August and 31 October 2022, respectively, to strengthen the Company's presence in the aerospace and hydraulics industries.One of the revaluation targets under a valuation system with Chinese characteristicsOn 21 November 2022, at the Annual Conference of Financial Street Forum 2022, Yi Huiman, Chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, speaking on the structure and valuation of listed companies, said that there was a need to explore ways to build a valuation system with Chinese characteristics, so as to promote better functioning of the market's resource allocation.Obviously, the regulator has clearly recognized that it is very unreasonable for a number of listed companies, including Hong Kong stocks and A-shares, to be extremely undervalued by the market. The regulator has pointed out that it is necessary to conduct an in-depth study on the application scenarios of valuation theories in mature markets and grasp the valuation logic of different types of listed companies. It is believed that the signal from the regulator to explore the establishment of a valuation system with Chinese characteristics will be gradually developed and implemented at the level of investment banks and institutional investors. Compared with overseas benchmarking companies, the valuation of Impro is extremely unreasonable. The history of the development of the US stock market shows that a reasonable revaluation of the value of a listed company may be late, but it is never missed.Moreover, the market capitalization of Impro will soon exceed HK$5 billion, and it is likely to be included in the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect and Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect in the second half of this year, giving mainland investors the opportunity to invest in Impro. As a rare leader in the high-precision components industry, the Company has maintained continuous growth in its business performance. It is believed that, under the catalyst of multiple factors, Impro will move further along the new capital market curve. Copyright 2023 ACN Newswire. All rights reserved. (via SEAPRWire)
