<li>Retail pharmacies experienced performance decline in April and May. Due to negative policies, retail pharmacies will experience industry clearance. Therefore, we do not recommend investors to bottom-fish related stocks now.</li>
<li>There is a logic to biotech's performance from 2023 to present.The clearer the path of sustainable development, the better the stock price performance. They can be divided into three types.</li>
<li>YSB faces big risks and the outlook is not optimistic. If the final valuation of the Company is lower than <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/china-resources-pharmaceutical-group" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:22928:1" rel="noopener">China Resources Pharmaceutical</a> and <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/shanghai-pharmaceuticals-holding" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:228:1" rel="noopener">Shanghai Pharmaceuticals</a>, we wouldn't be too surprised.</li>

<li>The biggest expectation on CARsgen is to break through solid tumor technology (from zero to one).However, it depends on the choices of doctors/patients to see how much clinical benefits would be.</li>
<li>The investment value of CARsgen has been transferred from R&amp;D progress of pipeline to its future commercialization outlook/market potential, which however, are the major concerns that investors have for CARsgen.</li>
<li>Due to "practical obstacles" in the application of CAR-T therapy, CARsgen’s commercialization prospects are still vague. Share price could remain weak, but its valuation should be higher than JW Therapeutics. </li>
