DeekSeek May Not Be The "Game Changer" In China Healthcare - Time to Be Rational

<li>DeepSeek, as a domestically produced open-source model in China, combined with the rapid development of AI technology, is profoundly changing the landscape of pharmaceutical and medical industry.</li>
<li>AI pharmaceuticals/AI diagnosis/AI R&amp;D would benefit the most from DeepSeek. However, data security is an issue. The US has enacted legislation to restrict cooperation with Chinese companies due to DeepSeek.</li>

<ul>
<li>Medical industry characteristics are the seriousness of diagnosis/treatment and the irreversibility of the process, which are the difficulties in implementing technology. The value that AI can provide is limited. </li>
<li>Xunfei’s business model is not To C, but To G (government) model. It’s not possible for SOE customers to pay high price for Xunfei’s AI model/products, leading to questionable profitability.</li>
<li>Pre-IPO valuation has reached RMB8.4 billion. Without sustainable growth and stable profitability, valuation/liquidity of Xunfei after listing wouldn’t be good. We think Xunfei’s valuation could be similar to Yidu Tech.</li>

Pre-IPO Xunfei Healthcare Technology (PHIP Updates) - Profitability Are Always the Pain Points

<ul>
<li>In healthcare AI industry, the commercialization process is complex and burdened with challenges. Related products mainly plays an auxiliary role in medical scenarios, rather than a core support or rigid-demand. </li>
<li>The idea of creating corresponding solutions for C-end and B-end customers by FUNFEI is not inappropriate. However, both B-end and C-end businesses of FUNFEI have encountered varying degrees of problems.</li>
<li>We’re not optimistic about XUNFEI's profitability. The sluggish stock price performance after Airdoc’s listing indicates that the market/investors have not fully recognized healthcare AI enterprises, leading to low valuation.</li>
