China Traditional Chinese Medicine / Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>The recovery of concentrated TCM granules business makes us optimistic about China TCM's 2023 full-year performance growth. The resurgence of pandemic and privatization rumor always attract the attention of investors.</li>
<li>Pientzehuang’s 23Q3 performance was disappointing. Consumption downgrade makes the strategy of raising prices no longer effective. There is downward pressure on valuation as performance will not turn around soon.</li>
<li>The investment logic of rigid demand is more convincing than consumption upgrading. So, China TCM is more likely to outperform Pientzehuang. Our view is long China TCM, and short Pientzehuang.</li>

The recovery of concentrated TCM granules business makes us optimistic about China TCM's 2023 full-year performance growth. The resurgence of pandemic and privatization rumor always attract the attention of investors.
Pientzehuang’s 23Q3 performance was disappointing. Consumption downgrade makes the strategy of raising prices no longer effective. There is downward pressure on valuation as performance will not turn around soon.
The investment logic of rigid demand is more convincing than consumption upgrading. So, China TCM is more likely to outperform Pientzehuang. Our view is long China TCM, and short Pientzehuang.
