Huafu Securities pointed out that reviewing the Trump administration's regulatory attitude towards e-cigarettes, the main purpose is to promote product compliance and protect the health of young people; in the future, with Trump taking over, it may have a positive impact on increasing the share of compliant brands in the US market. Judging from recent trends in e-cigarette regulation in the US, the advantages of compliant products have expanded under the impetus of tobacco giants; the UK is expected to be pressured once by policy, but it is expected to switch to a more profitable and open system.
SMOORE International previously announced that it achieved revenue of 3.286 billion yuan in the third quarter of 2024, up 16.5% from the previous month, up 14.1% year on year; profit after tax was about 0.379 billion yuan, up 10.2% month on month and 22.5% year on year. Guosheng Securities pointed out that the company's 24Q3 profit declined year-on-year, mainly due to increased R&D expenses and management expenses. Among them, R&D expenses were mainly used for heating non-combustible products and atomized medical products. In addition to self-research projects, the company cooperates with customers in joint R&D and is expected to provide customers with product solutions and related technical services in the future. Subsequent R&D investment in heated non-combustible products and medical atomization products is expected to gradually transform into a new revenue and profit growth point for the company.
