Equity Bottom-Up

Guangzhou Baiyunshan Pharmaceu / Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>Baiyunshan is not a typical TCM company. As Great Commerce accounts for the majority of revenue, it clearly drags down the quality of total assets and growth expectation for valuation.</li>
<li>As Jin Ge and Wang Lao Ji are facing different challenges, the overall growth/profitability of Baiyunshan is under pressure.Due to uncompetitive product line, Baiyunshan’s future growth appears to lack momentum.</li>
<li>The valuation of Baiyunshan-A share is still expensive, but Baiyunshan-H share is attractive. After all, the future consumption recovery would be beneficial for boosting Baiyunshan’s valuation. Then, trading opportunity occurs. </li>
