China Shineway Pharmaceutical / Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>Three business segments of Shineway showed negative YoY growth in 24Q1. 24Q2 performance could remain sluggish. We're not optimistic about the 24H1 results due to the high base in 23H1.</li>
<li>It is expected that Shineway's growth in 24H2 would pick up. If revenue growth of Shineway in 2024 full-year could be double-digit (e.g. 10-15% YoY), it is already good.</li>
<li>Shineway is undervalued. It has sufficient cash (cash balance of RMB5.9 billion by 2023) and is willing to distribute dividends (usually twice a year). Shineway is suitable for long-term holding.</li>

China Shineway Pharmaceutical (2877.HK) - Negative Growth in 24H1 Seems Inevitable

<ul>
<li>Shineway’s 2022 performance was outstanding.Its TCM formula granules business would seize more market share and maintain strong growth momentum, which would continue to be the main performance driver in 2023.</li>
<li>Considering obvious policy preferences and lower price reduction of TCM in VBP, we recommend investors to leave a place for TCM company in portfolio, and Shineway deserves investors’ attention.</li>
<li>Shineway is cash rich. Together with promising growth potential and solid financial performance, Shineway's share price is expected to perform well, which could be a good trading target for investors.</li>

China Shineway Pharmaceutical (2877.HK) - Strong Growth Momentum Is Expected to Continue in 2023

<ul>
<li>Shineway’s 24Q1-Q3 performance is disappointing. So, we adjusted our forecast- 2024 Revenue could be about RMB3.7-4 billion, down 11-18% YoY. Net profit could reach about RMB1.05-1.1 billion, up 8-13% YoY.  </li>
<li>VBP is the biggest headwinds - Injection products/TCM formula granules/OTC medications all face VBP, which brings uncertainties to future performance. It’s uncertain whether the 2025 performance will rebound as expected.</li>
<li>Shineway seems to have lost growth momentum after COVID-19.Considering large cash balance, it doesn't make much sense to hold the Company long term if it doesn't significantly raise its dividend.</li>
