Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>Due to increasing competition/price reduction/overcapacity issue, outlook of domestic vaccine companies isn't optimistic, which has been reflected in 24Q1 results. However, there’s also a "special one" that deserves investors' attention.</li>
<li>The status of medical insurance funds is improving rather than deteriorating, but we’re currently in the first half of the decade with the highest pressure on medical insurance.</li>
<li>As the H.R.8333 proposal faced obstacles in the process of being included in NDAA, WuXi AppTec/WuXi Bio’s shares once rebounded.We remain conservative as situation is not as simple as imagined.</li>

<ul>
<li>Some assets in A-share that were considered to have long-term growth but are not anymore. Then the logic of capital's allocation in A-share isn’t based on growth, but on liquidity.</li>
<li>There’s no real separation between local finance and medical insurance fund. So, there could be “surprises” during the promotion of DRGs policy. Then a slump in sentiment and valuations is possible.</li>

2023H2 China Healthcare Investment Strategy and Top Pick

<ul>
<li>The investment logic of vaccine companies is different that of biotech. Generally speaking, vaccine companies cannot develop to large scale without successfully betting on big vaccine varieties.</li>
<li>The most fatal problem of CanSino is that there’re no other blockbuster varieties except COVID-19 vaccine. So, either CanSino develops a big variety,or it would gradually enter a vicious circle.</li>
<li>CanSino’s current valuation is at a low level. Even with many negative factors, that doesn't mean CanSino's stock price won't rebound. </li>
