Q2 2020’s selection delivered an average return increase of 54% v’s the MSCI Asia Pacific Index 37.4% over the same period. The GARP-based screen uses a combination of growth and value metrics to identify shares where brokers are forecasting high earnings growth, but which are currently valued at a price that is low relative to their forecast outlook. Whilst Central Banks are providing additional liquidity favouring growth names, our value-based screen is key to delivering positive gains as tapering begins. Q2 2021's screen provides 16 key suggestions.  What makes the current selection interesting is the bias towards Taiwan and India on a country basis and Industrials and Healthcare on a sector basis. Also of particular note, Singapore presents one name on this screen.

<a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/china-medical-system-holdings" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:18736:1" rel="noopener">China Medical System (867 HK)</a>(CMS) recently performed very well. Last week, its stock priced increased about 23%, which was mainly driven by the positive outlook of its business.

Cadila Healthcare reported its Q3FY21 earnings. Below, we note some of the key highlights from the earnings conference call.
Most promising aspect for Cadila is its focus on innovation that has been yielding good results with potential for launching a blockbuster drug in US. It has 4 NCEs (New Chemical Entities) in clinical development and 10+ NCEs/NBEs in pipeline. In particular, its NCE candidate, Saroglitazar Magnesium, for PBC disease has a USD 10bn+ global opportunity and Cadila has potential to be among the first wave of launches in US (represents 94%+ of the opportunity) with expected commercialization by FY23. Saroglitazar has potential to get approval for NASH disease in US by FY25. NASH has a much bigger opportunity with projected global market size of USD 27bn+. Another promising drug candidate is Desidustat where apart from large potential in treatment of anemia in CKD patients in India and China, there is orphan drug potential for niche chemotherapy-induced anemia condition in US.
