<li>Single product structure is the biggest risk of BCHT. Varicella vaccine is hard to drive BCHT’s performance growth in the future and the sales of influenza vaccine are not ideal. </li>
<li>There’re concerns about the protection rate of attenuated zoster vaccine,which won't be officially sold until 2023H2/2024. It’s not sure whether the situation can be reversed by attenuated zoster vaccine alone.</li>
<li>BCHT is inferior to CanSino in terms of pipeline quality and R&amp;D capability. The investment value of BCHT is not high. We think its valuation should be lower than CanSino.</li>

<ul>
<li>The majority revenue of Shanghai Pharmaceuticals comes from pharmaceutical distribution business, but the pharmaceutical manufacturing business has much higher gross margin,which drives up the overall profit margin of the Company.</li>
<li>Due to VBP, profit margin is under pressure. Weak demand for COVID-19 vaccines, decreasing long-term profitability and concerns on synergistic effect of cooperation with Yunnan Baiyao cast doubt on outlook.</li>
<li>Compared with peers, the valuation of Shanghai Pharmaceuticals doesn’t show decent upside potential. High valuation expectations cannot be supported due to industry trend. Its share prices could underperform.</li>
