<li>There is a big sector skew in the potential changes. We estimate a one-way turnover of 9.4% at the December rebalance resulting in a one-way trade of CNY 7.22bn.</li>
<li>With the market being stabilised through the ETF route, the index constituents have outperformed the non-index constituents over the last 6-7 weeks. That could reverse over the near term.</li>

<li>The rally of TCM companies has probably come to an end. But we think there would be good trading opportunities in 23Q4. Things could become challenging again in 24Q1.</li>
<li>If P/E is used when calculating the valuation of innovative pharmaceutical companies, unreasonable situations may arise. Sales profit rather than net profit could be a better choice for P/E.</li>
<li>Although iRay’s current P/E has fallen in reasonable range, due to concerns about its long-term growth prospects, valuation could further decline in long term. So, just short-term trade is recommended.</li>

The rally of TCM companies has probably come to an end. But we think there would be good trading opportunities in 23Q4. Things could become challenging again in 24Q1.
If P/E is used when calculating the valuation of innovative pharmaceutical companies, unreasonable situations may arise. Sales profit rather than net profit could be a better choice for P/E.
Although iRay’s current P/E has fallen in reasonable range, due to concerns about its long-term growth prospects, valuation could further decline in long term. So, just short-term trade is recommended.

Beijing Tongrentang Co A / Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>2018 was a watershed for Tongrentang. After the incident of using expired honey was exposed and the corruption scandal afterwards, Tongrentang's performance declined significantly and didn’t recover until 2021.</li>
<li>Angong Niuhuang Pill is the major performance driver and also Tongrentang’s core product. Due to the economic downturn, the price increase of Angong Niuhuang Pills could lead to inventory overstocking.</li>
<li>The high growth in 2021 may not be sustained. We lowered our forecast for 2022. Without core competitiveness and high moat, we are conservative about Tongrentang’s long-term outlook.</li>
