<ul>
<li>Hospital operation is an asset-heavy industry with large balance of fixed assets and intangible assets. So, there is a situation of expense “front-loading” and profit “back-loading” in Puxiang.</li>
<li>Puxiang’s single-digit net profit margin is unsatisfactory. Net profit CAGR is much lower than revenue CAGR. Considering VBP and DRGs/DIP, Puxiang’s future net profit performance is unsettling.</li>
<li>Due to concerns on profitability and future growth outlook, we think valuation of Puxiang should be lower than Topchoice, Aier, Hygeia, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/jinxin-fertility-group-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:28003:1" rel="noopener">Jinxin</a>, but could be higher than <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/china-resources-medical-holdings" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:357:1" rel="noopener">China Resources Medical</a>

Pre-IPO Puxiang Healthcare Holding - Weak Profitability Is the Major Concern

Bayzed Health Group / Equity Capital Markets

<ul>
<li>The positioning of Bayzed is just “a supplement to public hospitals system”, with limited scale and competitiveness, which is a point that investors may need to be aware of.</li>
<li>A big problem in the operation of Bayzed is the loss status/weak profitability. At current gross margin level, it would be difficult for Bayzed to deliver good returns for investors.</li>
<li>Valuation of Bayzed should be lower than Inkon Life Technology and Hygeia. The Pre-IPO valuation is not cheap, and the valuation upside potential may be limited considering weak profitability.  </li>

Pre-IPO Bayzed Health Group (PHIP Updates) - Some Points Worth the Attention

<ul>
<li>The expansion space of BenQ is severely limited as the market has been saturated in Jiangsu Province. Due to DRG, future revenue/net profit growth would continue to be under pressure. </li>
<li>Low profit margin of general hospitals is a common problem in this industry due to pain points of business model.It’s difficult to achieve improvement.Investors need to be aware of this.</li>
<li>BenQ’s valuation should be lower than Hygeia due to weaker profitability, smaller revenue scale, lower growth outlook.Post-money valuation before IPO of US$375 million (or about RMB2.7 billion) is already expensive</li>

Cloudbreak 拨康视云 IPO: Negative Readthrough from Underperforming Market Leader

Event-Driven

<ul>
<li>Fosun Pharma is just “a platform” and its performance mainly relies on the contributions of subsidiaries. However, such investment-driven business model has led to the current performance difficulties.</li>
<li>Although the motivation/underlying logic for Fosun Pharma to privatize Henlius are solid, we don’t know how this privatization ranks in terms of strategic significance of capital operations within Fosun's system.</li>
<li>If, for example, Fosun Pharma finds more important acquisitions/capital expenditures, the priority of Henlius’ privatization could fall. So, we think if it takes too long, there may be more uncertainties.</li>
