Based on the resonance of multiple factors such as the US interest rate increase and capital outflow, the rapid decline of the market has accumulated a certain margin of safety. With the confirmation of the end of economic policy and the arrival of a new round of stable growth cycle, we believe that the focus of market repair may continue to focus on sectors with marginal improvement and valuation repair logic. At the time point when valuation switching is gradually approaching, advance layout needs to pay particular attention to marginal improvement and sustainability of growth. From the perspective of valuation, the pharmaceutical industry is currently at a historical low valuation. The market has been worried that the suppression of the price segment by centralized purchase and medical insurance negotiation will change the growth attribute of the pharmaceutical industry. We believe that the logic of long-term and stable growth of the pharmaceutical industry remains unchanged when the demand is determined. In the long run, with the continuous promotion of the procurement of drugs and consumables, enterprises with high safety margin, strong innovation ability, rich product pipelines and good competition pattern are expected to continue to benefit in the long cycle. It is suggested to continue to focus on the layout of innovative drug industry chain, high-end medical devices, medical services and medical consumption, and tap the second-line blue chips with relatively low valuation:
1) innovative drugs and innovative drug industry chain, including comprehensive and specialized innovative drug enterprises and CXO industry. It is suggested to pay attention to Jiangsu Hengrui Medicine Co.Ltd(600276) , boten pharmaceutical, Jiangsu Nhwa Pharmaceutical Co.Ltd(002262) , Asymchem Laboratories (Tianjin) Co.Ltd(002821) , Shanghai Fosun Pharmaceutical (Group) Co.Ltd(600196) , Wuxi Apptec Co.Ltd(603259) , Hangzhou Tigermed Consulting Co.Ltd(300347) , Pharmaron Beijing Co.Ltd(300759) and Apeloa Pharmaceutical Co.Ltd(000739) ;
2) it is recommended to pay attention to Shenzhen Mindray Bio-Medical Electronics Co.Ltd(300760) and Lepu Medical Technology (Beijing) Co.Ltd(300003) for the leading high-end medical devices with outstanding import substitution ability;
3) for medical consumption terminals benefiting from the increased market concentration, it is recommended to pay attention to Yixintang Pharmaceutical Group Co.Ltd(002727) , Yifeng Pharmacy Chain Co.Ltd(603939) and Dian Diagnostics Group Co.Ltd(300244) ;
4) biological products enterprises with scarcity and consumption attributes, including Changchun High And New Technology Industries (Group) Inc(000661) , Hualan Biological Engineering Inc(002007) , Cansino Biologics Inc(688185) – U and Pacific Shuanglin Bio-Pharmacy Co.Ltd(000403) .
