<ul>
<li>CanSino’s performance declined in 22H1 due to decreased demand of COVID-19 vaccine. Since we have analyzed our concerns on performance in prior insight, there should be psychological expectations for the decline.</li>
<li>The COVID-19 vaccine business brings CanSino rich cash flow and helps it establish commercial team. Together with MCV2/MCV4/mRNA/PCV13i, it's too early to be completely bearish on CanSino.</li>
<li>The market has exaggerated the impact of performance decline of COVID-19 vaccine on CanSino. Although 2022 is a difficult year, it is a good time to bottom fish this stock.</li>

CanSino Biologics (6185.HK/688185.CH) 2022H1 - It's Too Early to Be Completely Bearish on CanSino

<ul>
<li>We update our forecast on CanSino’s performance in 2022, which could be much lower than that in 2021 due to the concerns on commercialization outlook of COVID-19 vaccine and MCV2/MCV4.</li>
<li>However, due to strong R&amp;D and technology platforms, the value of CanSino's pipeline is higher and its products could become the ceiling of pricing power for other homogeneous competing products.</li>
<li>We still think CanSino has investment value in long term despite the headwinds in short term.The market value by May 6 of HK$18.1 billion (PE/TTM at 7.22) is also attractive.</li>
