Thematic (Sector/Industry)

<ul>
<li>The driving force for the big performance growth of domestic culture medium companies mainly come from the logic of import substitution. We think there are investment opportunities in this industry.</li>
<li>Due to soaring costs of electricity prices, raw material prices and transportation costs, European pharmaceutical plants are facing difficulties in sustaining production. Chinese API enterprises could face expansion opportunities.</li>
<li>For industries that have been recognized by investors,the market begins to think in terms of long logic from a broader perspective rather than simply tracking the performance of individual companies.</li>

<a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/innovent-biologics-inc" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:27452:1" rel="noopener">Innovent Biologics Inc (1801 HK)</a>’s share price had some rebounds last week, which could be related to some positive progress on business and the picking-up market sentiment in healthcare sector. </li>
<li>We increased overall sales forecast for Innovent by including the two new products from Sanofi. But it’s still far from the management's target of RMB20 billion sales in 5 years.</li>
<li>Innovent’s current commercialization capability is like a "semi-finished product", and has long way to go. It lacks the second big product except PD-1 to “pave the way” for next-stage development.</li>

Innovent Biologics Inc (1801 HK)’s share price had some rebounds last week, which could be related to some positive progress on business and the picking-up market sentiment in healthcare sector. 
We increased overall sales forecast for Innovent by including the two new products from Sanofi. But it’s still far from the management's target of RMB20 billion sales in 5 years.
Innovent’s current commercialization capability is like a "semi-finished product", and has long way to go. It lacks the second big product except PD-1 to “pave the way” for next-stage development.


Innovent Biologics Inc (1801.HK) - The Concerns and the Outlook

<ul>
<li>There’s an “insurmountable obstacle” to license-in business model. <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/antengene-corp-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:29705:1" rel="noopener">Antengene (6996 HK)</a> has to go all the way to the end. Otherwise, Antengene won't end up well.</li>
<li>Considering the pipeline quality/speed of clinical advancement/high cost of license-in/fierce competition/just APAC rights/limited cash balance, the biggest problem Antengene has to face is how to “survive this winter” .</li>
<li>Theoretically, Antengene is undervalued, so if willing to, investors could do short-term trade. However, due to the concerns, we are still bearish on Antengene’s outlook overall. </li>

Antengene (6996.HK) 22H1-Defective Business Model and Uncompetitive Pipeline; Bearish on the Outlook

<ul>
<li>The plunge in medical beauty sector last week was due to the industry-wide overhaul and investigation resulting from the increase in business bribery/tax evasion/medical malpractice/customer complaints.</li>
<li>We found an interesting phenomenon – Investors dare not buy biotech, opting instead for Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) companies, scientific research service companies and medical service companies.</li>
<li>If investors still want to trade CXO, here are two suggestions.</li>

China Healthcare Weekly (Sep.25) - CXO Trading Strategy, Plunge in Medical Beauty, Belief in Biotech

<ul>
<li>NHSA will set aside a certain market to provide space for innovative medical devices/consumables to explore the market in addition to centralized procurement. However, we tend to be cautiously optimistic.</li>
<li>We think it is important to clarify for investors what constitutes "commercialization success" – That is to generate revenue at scale and stable profitability through the sale of drugs.</li>
<li>All the products that covered by VBP begin to lose logic. Don't be fooled by those positive interpretations. We are bearish on the sectors with downward logic in long cycle. </li>
