The market has concerns about the stability of the company's flagship product pricing and long-term growth potential, overlooking the governance benefits from the new management's marketing reforms. In the short term, the price of the flagship product has reached a "L-shaped" bottom, with limited downside risk. In the medium to long term, there is growth potential in both volume and price, and the company's growth path is becoming clearer. The current valuation has dropped to historical lows, and the dividend yield is attractive in a low-interest-rate environment, suggesting a favorable entry point for long-term investment [6][16][19]. Summary by Sections Short-term Perspective - The flagship product's price has significantly decreased, entering a "L-shaped" bottom due to a rapid decline in demand and ongoing supply pressures. The current price level is supported by traditional consumer demand, and the price is now within the purchasing power release range for consumers, indicating limited further downside risk. The upcoming festive season is expected to show strong sales performance, providing support for price stabilization [7][17][24]. Medium-term Perspective - The company is initiating a market-oriented transformation in 2026, focusing on three core elements: product structure, pricing, and channel strategy. The product strategy aims to optimize the pyramid structure, while the channel strategy emphasizes a blend of online and offline sales. The pricing strategy will shift from a dual-track system to a market-responsive approach, enhancing governance capabilities and improving operational quality in the long run [8][18][39]. Long-term Outlook - The company has demonstrated resilience through various market cycles over the past thirty years. Despite current industry adjustments, it possesses superior counter-cyclical measures. Future growth is expected to be driven by volume and price increases, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 4% for both volume and price. The company is projected to maintain mid-to-high single-digit revenue growth in the medium to long term [9][19][20]. Differentiation from Market Views - The report contrasts with prevailing market concerns regarding the flagship product's price decline, the effectiveness of reforms, and long-term growth potential. It argues that the financial premium has been largely eliminated, and the price is now more stable. The management's proactive approach to market governance is expected to reduce operational risks and activate latent demand. The company retains the flexibility to expand its distribution rights, which will support its growth trajectory [10][21][22].
