We expect the continuous interest rate cuts to lower R&D costs and accelerate innovative product launches for biopharmaceutical producers. This will support a continuous recovery of the healthcare industry for the next few years. Moreover, the highly-expected fiscal easing package may also be a potential catalyst for medical service and medical equipment players. Maintain MARKET WEIGHT on China’s healthcare sector.
Most biopharmaceutical companies under our coverage posted robust 1H24 results, while others reported moderate growth or missed market estimates. We believe leading drug innovators will outperform, supported by continued new product launches, while weak economic conditions and policy uncertainties may continue to cloud the growth outlook for medical service providers and medical device players. Geopolitical risks remain a threat to CDMO majors. Maintain MARKET WEIGHT.
CSPC reported disappointing 1H24 results with revenue rising 1.3% yoy and adjusted net profit growing 1.7% yoy. Management guided for lower sales of new products from Rmb3b to about Rmb2b in 2024, but kept its double-digit total revenue growth forecast for 2024 unchanged. We anticipate low growth visibility for CSPC in 2024-26 as some of its blockbuster drugs could face considerable GPO price pressure and intensifying competition. Downgrade to SELL with a lower target price of HK$5.00.
KEY HIGHLIGHTS Results Crystal International (2232 HK/BUY/HK$3.54/Target: HK$4.92) Crystal’s 1H24 net profit grew 14.1% yoy to US$84m, representing 44% of our full-year estimate. Interim DPS almost tripled to 13.8 HK cents and interim payout ratio reached 60%. Management has turned more positive on 2024-25 as it almost doubled its 2024 labour addition target, and is confident on registering a 20% gross margin in the coming years. We raise dividend payout forecast to 60% in 2024-26 and expect...
CSPC is integrating its innovative assets by transferring CSPC Baike to CSPC Innovation.

We have adjusted our valuation to reflect investor concerns over the potential transactions. Maintain BUY with target price of HK$7.80.

Our channel check indicates that the industry is generally in good shape and has become increasingly innovative. Most healthcare companies are improving their operating efficiency and expecting to generate stronger revenue and/or earnings growth in 2024. The recent sell-off has made valuations more attractive.

Despite the weak global funding environment for biotech, companies have shown persistent efforts in pursuing innovation and globalisation. Moreover, regular academic conferences have gradually returned, supporting stronger sales momentum in 4Q23. We prefer companies with a positive long-term outlook and attractive valuations. Maintain OVERWEIGHT.
Most healthcare companies reported satisfactory 1H23 results while revising down revenue growth to factor in delays in some academic conferences and hospital procurement in 3Q23. As pressure from the anti-corruption campaign is easing, we believe sales activities of medical products will resume soon and that long-term growth outlook remains intact. We prefer companies with positive long-term outlooks and attractive valuations. Maintain OVERWEIGHT.
1H23 results were stable, with revenue rising 3.0% yoy and adjusted net profit growing 3.0% yoy. The results were in line. CSPC maintains its positive revenue and net earnings growth guidance for 2023, but has increased its payout ratio to reward investors. It continues to improve cost efficiency and enhance R&D efforts. With a robust pipeline, we believe CSPC will resume double-digit revenue growth from 2024. Maintain BUY. Target price: HK$8.00.

ICL is a promising segment of medical services. China’s ICL market had a low penetration rate of about 6% in 2021 vs developed countries’ 35-60%. The roll-out of DRG programmes continues to accelerate the outsourcing of testing services from hospitals. The accelerating post-pandemic market consolidation may also benefit leading ICL players. Our channel check shows that leading players (KingMed and Dian) expect to deliver steady growth in 2023 non-COVID-19-related revenue. Maintain OVERWEIGHT.
