<ul>
<li>COVID-19 didn’t bring Wondfo explosive performance growth because China’s official COVID-19 detection method is nucleic acid test while Wondfo’s strength is antigen detection,which is used in later stage of COVID-19.</li>
<li>Revenue growth would slow down in 2023 due to the high base last year.2023 is a good time to bottom fish this stock as Wondfo’s performance growth would recover afterwards.</li>
<li>After continuous corrections, the current valuation is already at a low level, and has already priced in the negative impact of the decline in COVID-19 business and IVD centralized procurement.</li>
