Chunlizhengda Medical Instruments (1858.HK) – Conservative About the Outlook
- Last year end, Beijing Chunlizhengda Medical Instruments (1858 HK) was listed on the SSE STAR Market, but fell on debut.
- The major concerns include performance slowdown, loss of bidding in centralized procurement, problematic sales model, poor gross profit margin, single products risk and weak innovation capability and international business.
- Our view is that there is no immediate prospect of significant improvement. With too many uncertainties and concerns, we are conservative about Chunlizhengda’s outlook despite the large A/H premium.
