The enterprise value to EBITDA ratio is 32.62, suggesting a relatively high valuation compared to its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization.

The company's capital structure is supported by a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.33, indicating a relatively conservative leverage position. The company's growth trajectory is modest, with a current FY outlook showing a slight increase in revenue and earnings. The operating cash flow is negative at -1.17 billion CNY, which is a concern for liquidity.
