## Workflow

### Task 1: Company Research

**Company overview:**
- Business description (主营业务)
- History and development (发展历程)
- Ownership structure (股权结构)
- Management team (管理层)
- Shareholder composition (股东构成)

**Business segments:**

| Segment | Revenue % | Margin | Growth Driver |
|---------|-----------|--------|---------------|
| | | | |

**Key questions to answer:**
1. What does the company do? How does it make money?
2. What is its competitive advantage? (护城河)
3. What are the key growth drivers?
4. What are the main risks?
5. Who are the comparable companies?

### Task 2: Financial Modeling

Build a financial model (refer to `china-3-statement-model` skill):

**Historical analysis (3-5 years):**

| Metric | 2020 | 2021 | 2022 | 2023 | 2024E | 2025E | 2026E |
|--------|------|------|------|------|-------|-------|-------|
| Revenue (亿) | | | | | | | |
| YoY Growth | | | | | | | |
| Gross Margin | | | | | | | |
| Operating Margin | | | | | | | |
| Net Margin | | | | | | | |
| ROE | | | | | | | |
| Net Debt/EBITDA | | | | | | | |

**Key modeling considerations (see china-3-statement-model):**
- CAS accounting standards
- 25% tax rate (or 15% for 高新技术企业)
- 千元 vs 元 unit normalization
- 增值税 treatment
- 商誉 flagging
- R&D expense treatment

### Task 3: Valuation Analysis

**Build comprehensive valuation:**

1. **DCF** (refer to `china-dcf` skill)
   - WACC with CGB risk-free rate
   - 6-8% China ERP
   - 25% tax rate
   - CNY denominated

2. **Comparable companies** (refer to `china-comps` skill)
   - Peer set from same 东方财富 industry
   - PE, PB, PS, EV/EBITDA multiples
   - Regression analysis if >5 peers

3. **Precedent transactions** (if available)
   - China M&A comparable multiples
   - Control premium analysis

4. **Sum-of-the-parts** (if multi-segment)
   - Segment-level DCF or multiples
   - Conglomerate discount assessment

**Valuation summary:**

| Method | Value (元/股) | Weight | Rationale |
|--------|--------------|--------|-----------|
| DCF | | | |
| PE comps | | | |
| PB comps | | | |
| EV/EBITDA comps | | | |
| SOTP | | | |
| **Implied target** | | | |

### Task 4: Chart Preparation

**Required charts:**

1. **Revenue & earnings history**
   - 5-year historical + 3-year projected
   - Bar chart: Revenue
   - Overlay: Net income, margins

2. **Valuation multiple history**
   - PE band (5-year)
   - PB band (5-year)
   - Current vs historical average

3. **Peer comparison**
   - Scatter: Growth vs Multiple
   - Bar: Key metrics vs peers

4. **Share price chart**
   - 2-year price history
   - Key events annotated

**Chart standards:**
- Dark theme or light theme (consistent with firm template)
