Target price of RMB6.74Considering headwinds in traditional equipment sales and more prudent quality and payment expectations in new city service orders, we lower our revenueforecasts for traditional equipment and city services. We project 2025/2026/2027EPS at RMB0.21/0.27/0.33 (2025/2026 revised down by 19/13%). Given Infore’sstrong NE equipment edge and robust 1Q25 sales, along with its DPSgrowthtrend during2021–2024,we value the stock at32.1x2025E PE, above its peers’average of21.4x on Wind consensus. Ourtarget priceisRMB6.74 (previous:RMB7.25,based on 27.9x 2025E PE).
