Zhou’s view of the pharmaceutical industry: China’s first ten antigen tests focus on the opportunities of the anti epidemic sector

Report summary

Affected by international environmental uncertainty, the Hang Seng Index fell 6.17% in a single week last week (from March 7, 2022 to March 11, 2022). The Hang Seng healthcare industry fell 10.64% in a single week, underperforming the Hang Seng Index by 4.47 percentage points, ranking the last among the 12 Hang Seng industries.

On March 11, the comprehensive group of the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council announced the application scheme for covid-19 virus antigen detection (Trial), comprehensively implemented the monitoring mode of “antigen screening and nucleic acid diagnosis”, added antigen detection as a supplement to the original nucleic acid detection, and the government issued the basic requirements and procedures for covid-19 virus antigen self-test. On March 13, the State Food and Drug Administration approved the change approval of five covid-19 antigen self-test products, with a total of 10 covid-19 antigen products approved for self-test and other non professional places, namely: Beijing huaketai, Nanjing Nanjing Vazyme Biotech Co.Ltd(688105) ( Nanjing Vazyme Biotech Co.Ltd(688105) .

Antigen self-test products improve screening efficiency. There are three types of people suitable for antigen detection: (1) those who go to grass-roots medical and health institutions with respiratory tract, fever and other symptoms within 5 days. (2) Isolation and observation personnel, including personnel in home isolation and observation, close connection and secondary close connection, entry isolation and observation, sealing and control area and control area. (3) Community residents with antigen self-test needs. Antigen detection complements nucleic acid detection to improve screening efficiency. Antigen detection is generally used in the acute infection stage. The positive results can be used for early diversion and rapid management of suspected people, but they can not be used as the basis for diagnosis. At present, China’s epidemic prevention policy is still “dynamic clearing”. In the scene of large-scale screening, antigen detection can improve the ability of “early detection”.

Investment advice

While seizing the opportunity to repair the valuation of Hong Kong stocks, it is suggested to lay out the boom track and oversold core assets. In the future, it is suggested to focus on: 1) innovative drugs: the success of legendary biological cart approved by FDA is an excellent precedent for innovative drugs to go to sea.

HK), etc. 2) Devices: the short-term market is pessimistic about the centralized purchase of devices, and the performance of relevant targets is relatively low; In the long run, there are many sub tracks in the sector. Sub tracks such as molecular diagnosis and minimally invasive Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) have great potential, and leading enterprises and innovative enterprises have barriers. It is suggested to pay attention to the minimally invasive Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) B (2252. HK), the high-quality target of Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) -b, the target of cancer early screening, nuohui health-b (6606. HK), and Yingtong technology-b (2251. HK), the high-quality target of ophthalmic AI screening. 3) Medical services: the penetration rate of medical services is low and the demand growth prospect is broad.
