Core view

The global epidemic has repeated twists and turns, remains high and has high uncertainty. "Drug + vaccine" is still an important measure for long-term anti epidemic in the future. In terms of covid-19 drugs, traditional Chinese medicine plays an important role in the prevention and control of covid-19 epidemic in China. Many traditional Chinese medicines have been selected into the latest version of diagnosis and treatment plan.

It is suggested to pay attention to listed companies directly benefiting from it and listed companies related to the industrial chain, such as Porton Pharma Solutions Ltd(300363) , Asymchem Laboratories (Tianjin) Co.Ltd(002821) . In terms of vaccines, covid-19 vaccine has promoted the performance of many enterprises, and the valuation has been in a reasonable range through the preliminary adjustment.

The overall valuation of the industry is at a historically low level and the industrial development trend is good. We maintain the optimistic view of the industry and suggest paying attention to the following directions: (1) China Meheco Group Co.Ltd(600056) especially the rapid development of biopharmaceutical field, but there are still shortcomings in the upstream supply chains of basic links, high-end pharmaceutical equipment, life science reagents, consumables, instruments and equipment, and the main markets are occupied by foreign-funded enterprises, The "14th five year plan" for pharmaceutical industry development proposed for the first time that "comprehensively improve the modernization level of pharmaceutical industry chain, realize the stability and controllability of supply chain, and accelerate the innovation driven development transformation". Driven by the continuous improvement of policy and technical level, China's upstream high-tech industry chain will develop rapidly and accelerate domestic substitution. It is suggested to pay attention to relevant subdivided fields; (2) Driven by policies, talents, capital and other factors, domestic innovative drugs have developed rapidly, entered the harvest period of achievements, opened the road of internationalization and ushered in a new stage of upgrading. They have begun to gradually transform from me too / me worth to higher quality and more innovative me better and first in class. In the future, whether in the Chinese market or overseas market, they have strong R & D strength, rich pipelines and reasonable gradients, The advantages of domestic innovation leading enterprises with outstanding product differentiation advantages will be further highlighted, and it is suggested to pay attention to them; (3) Global and Chinese innovative drug R & D is booming, production capacity continues to transfer to China, and China's CXO industry is developing rapidly. It is expected that with the promotion of policies, the continuous improvement of technical level and relevant demand, the industry concentration is expected to further improve, and the head effect is becoming more and more obvious.
