Chando Global Holding / Equity Capital Markets

<ul>
<li>Revenue growth is just at the industry level and the growth rate is lower than the CAGR of market size of domestic brands. So, CHANDO is not a fast-growing company.</li>
<li>Profit margin is disappointing due to high selling and marketing costs. Net profit fluctuated. This reflects that CHANDO’s profit model is not yet stable, with relatively weak risk resistance capacity</li>
<li>Due to lower performance growth and profit margin, we think valuation of CHANDO would be lower than peers such as <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/giant-biogene-holding-co-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:35950:1" rel="noopener">Giant Biogene</a>, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/mao-geping-cosmetics-co-ltd-41b64ec7-42e1-4d89-9424-b63b5ba53ea4" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:1521:1" rel="noopener">Mao Geping</a>, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/shanghai-chicmax-cosmetic-co-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:35503:1" rel="noopener">Chicmax </a>in Hong Kong market. </li>

<li>On Friday 22 August, the Hang Seng Index team announced the changes to the Hang Seng Healthcare Index for the September 2025 rebalance. That takes us to 73 constituents.</li>

<li>This is a smallish index, so we see US$300+mm to trade but there are a couple of big buys in terms of ADV.</li>
