Equity Bottom-Up

<div>
<p>Jinxin Fertility reported its results over the weekend and hosted a conference call in the morning today. We attended the conference call with positive takeaways. While the results fell below the consensus estimates, we believe that its long-term fundamentals are intact. The company's business will fire in all cylinders after international travel restrictions are lifted. We believe that the recent share weakness was mainly due to the risk-off sentiment in the market, particularly by the Chinese southbound investors. We believe that the demands for IVF services are secular and the moat is wide. We will accumulate the stock as a long-term holding.</p>
