From Shanghai NewMed Medical (NMM HK)’s pipeline, it can be seen that almost all the candidates do not have obvious advantages in development progress in front of the competing products.
NewMed has little experience in launching and commercializing product candidates, especially as a late-comer. So, the actual commercialization performance could be lower than expected.
Since there are so many uncertainties as well as the poor market sentiment for new IPOs in HKEX, we are conservative about the outlook of NewMed at the current stage.

Venus MedTech (2500 HK) is taking the lead in TAVR industry, but Peijia Medical (9996 HK) has advantages in development progress of future products. So, the market pattern is not yet determined.
The high cost of TAVR surgery is the main reason for lower-than-expected sales performance of related companies and low market penetration. The fierce competition would also bring more challenges. 
A good solution is to enter developing markets with CE mark, which would offer a new commercialization option and also a wider expansion beyond just European and American markets.

HeMo Bioengineering / Equity Capital Markets

HeMo Bioengineering, a China-based interventional medical device company, plans to raise up to USD 300m via a Hong Kong listing.The company's main products are catheters for the aspiration thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke. The thrombectomy market is experiencing rapid growth and the company targets a less competitive thrombectomy segment but effectively it is facing intense competition with stent retrievers. We are of the view that the company's product is not competitive and innovative enough to acquire large market share from other players despite the penetration rate of the aspiration thrombectomy in China is much lower than that in the US. The company's management does have a track record in developing medical devices in the past but we think its current product line does indicate few inventions.

HeMo Bioengineering (禾木生物工程) Pre-IPO: Signs of Lacking Innovation

Shanghai NewMed, a China-based heart valve medical device company, plans to raise up to USD 200m via a Hong Kong listing.The company's core TAVR (transcatheter aortic valve replacement) product Prizvalve is a few years behind its competitors, despite its unique balloon expandable design. The selling point for the company is that in the international market such design is better than the self-expandable design which is mainstream in China. On the other hand, the company is leading the TMVR (transcatheter mitral valve replacement) development which is potentially a bigger market than the TAVR. The company has quality institutional investors alongside individual investors, as well as an experienced management team. We think investors should follow the IPO.
