<ul>
<li>Due to increasing competition/price reduction/overcapacity issue, outlook of domestic vaccine companies isn't optimistic, which has been reflected in 24Q1 results. However, there’s also a "special one" that deserves investors' attention.</li>
<li>The status of medical insurance funds is improving rather than deteriorating, but we’re currently in the first half of the decade with the highest pressure on medical insurance.</li>
<li>As the H.R.8333 proposal faced obstacles in the process of being included in NDAA, WuXi AppTec/WuXi Bio’s shares once rebounded.We remain conservative as situation is not as simple as imagined.</li>

Equity Capital Markets

Beijing Health Guard Biotechnology / Equity Capital Markets

<ul>
<li>The real market space of China’s HPV vaccines is much smaller-than-expected. Investment logic of vaccine companies is different from biotech - They either become large vaccine enterprises or are eliminated.</li>
<li>Low-Valent HPV vaccines would easily enter a price war or be included in National Immunization Program. 9-valent HPV vaccines would be the main battlefield, which is a highly competitive market.</li>
<li>Health Guard is facing increasing survival risks. Based on the concerns about the commercialization outlook of HPV vaccines, we’re not sure if the Company would bring expected returns to investors.</li>

<ul>
<li>YZY is a company that is serious about drug development However, there is actually high R&amp;D risk of its pipeline candidates. So, YZY’s R&amp;D capability has yet to be proven.</li>
<li>There are still many unanswered questions in the whole direction of bispecific antibody. If YZY’s candidates fail to prove better marginal clinical benefits, they won’t have good commercialization performance. </li>
<li>YZY has a long way to go based on its pipeline situation. Considering <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/wuhan-yzy-biopharma-co-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:36600:1" rel="noopener">Wuhan YZY Biopharma (YZY HK)</a> has no product in commercialization stage, its valuation may not be high.</li>
