Equity Capital Markets

<ul>
<li>JZB33 is expected to have more growth potential than JZB30. However, the rhFSH market is highly competitive. JZB30/JZB33 not only need to compete with MNCs but also domestic Big Pharma.</li>
<li>The "inverted pyramid" pipeline distribution leads to a high dependence JZB30, JZB33, JZB05 for Jingze's performance growth in the next 3-5 years, thus lacking sustained innovation and growth momentum.</li>
<li>Post-Money valuation was RMB3.09 billion after Series C+ Financing.

<li>The steady growth in revenue/overseas revenue proportion/gross profit indicated that Kangji’s core business was still in good shape in 25H1. Losses of Weijing increased because commercialization is in initial stage.</li>
<li>The declining net profit in 25H1 may encourage some investors to support the privatization, but there are still some investors planning to oppose this privatization based on the sample screenshots.</li>
<li>Risk-Takers can bet on the success of privatization to obtain arbitrage returns.But deal break also offers an excellent opportunity to buy at a low price(similar to the playbook on Henlius).</li>

<li>TransThera’s shares have been highly volatile following their inclusion in several innovative-drug ETFs. We analyzed the drivers behind this move. With valuation now diverging from fundamentals, we advise caution.</li>
