Soon after, on March 8th, Yisheng filed its IPO prospectus with the HKEX. Since the Changchun Changsheng vaccine scandal in 2018, rabies vaccines have been in short supply in China. Therefore, vaccine companies hope to seize this opportunity and develop vigorously with the help of the capital market. For example, last year, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/chengdu-kanghua-biological-a" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:29895:1" rel="noopener">Chengdu Kanghua Biological-A (300841 CH)</a> was listed on the A-share market successfully. This year, Yisheng also plans to raise funds, expand the business and fund the future operation in the public capital market.

Recently, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/cansino-biologics-inc" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:27739:1" rel="noopener">CanSino Biologics Inc (6185 HK)</a> released the performance announcement in 2020. CanSino is expected to achieve the revenue in 2020 of RMB24.89 million, up 990.06% YoY. The Company's net loss attributed to shareholders could reach RMB407 million, up 159.63% YoY. Net loss after deducting non-recurring gains and losses is expected to reach RMB522 million, up 199.09% YoY. Meanwhile, CanSino had filed an application with the NMPA for conditional marketing authorization of the Recombinant Novel Coronavirus Vaccine (Adenovirus Type 5 Vector) (“Ad5-nCoV”, trade name: Convidecia™) and NMPA had accepted the application. On the other hand, according to the listing rules of the SSE STAR Market, CanSino needs to become profitable or successfully commercialize its products by at least 2024, or it will trigger delisting conditions. So, will the COVID-19 vaccine be CanSino's turning point?

Thematic (Sector/Industry)

Compared with innovative drugs, the R&amp;D and production barriers of vaccine products are higher, and the pace of technology and product iteration is slower than that of innovative drugs. Except for the herpes zoster vaccine, the global sales of top ten varieties in the past decade are all the upgrades of existing product lines by enterprises. On the other hand, limited by indications, methods of use and competition of similar drugs, new drugs usually need to experience a gentle sales climbing curve. Both the impact of generic drugs after the patent cliff and the competition of other new products could lead to a rapid decline in sales. Vaccine products, especially those blockbuster vaccines, usually don't have such situations, and the product cycle is more stable.
