Adhering to the strategy of 2022, “through medical insurance” and “epidemic desensitization” are the two core main lines. Looking forward to the next three years, with the improvement of the epidemic and the gradual recovery of the economy, there is little possibility of the relaxation of the global and China’s macro liquidity margin in the future. We judge that the pharmaceutical valuation is expected to return to equilibrium in the future. At the same time, in the era of normalization of medical insurance pressure and post epidemic, we will focus on looking for varieties of “through medical insurance” and “epidemic desensitization”. On the one hand, the pharmaceutical machinery leader is expected to cross the “medical insurance border” through “continuous innovation + internationalization”; On the other hand, for the downstream TOC end, focus on the varieties that do not account for medical insurance, such as traditional Chinese medicine consumer goods, self funded biological drugs, medical and American products, while for the upstream tob end of the industrial chain, focus on the CXO sector and equipment sector of the innovation Shenzhen New Industries Biomedical Engineering Co.Ltd(300832) chain, including pharmaceutical machinery equipment, pharmacy automation equipment, consumables production equipment, life science reagents, etc.

Risk warning: drug price reduction risk; The implementation progress of medical reform policy is lower than the expected risk; Risk of R & D failure.
