Livzon Pharmaceutical Group In / Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>With rising COVID-19 cases, a pandemic outbreak in late 2024 is likely. Investors should focus on related sectors and stocks again.</li>
<li>Due to BIOSECURE Act, US companies are leaving Chinese partners.If Trump is elected, his sanctions on China's supply chain may intensify. So, there should be “valuation discount” for China CXOs.</li>
<li>Livzon may have negative YoY revenue growth in 24H1, but full-year revenue may have positive low single-digit YoY growth. Due to good dividend/repurchase policy, Livzon deserves more patience from investors.</li>

Guangzhou Wondfo Biotech C-A / Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>COVID-19 didn’t bring Wondfo explosive performance growth because China’s official COVID-19 detection method is nucleic acid test while Wondfo’s strength is antigen detection,which is used in later stage of COVID-19.</li>
<li>Revenue growth would slow down in 2023 due to the high base last year.2023 is a good time to bottom fish this stock as Wondfo’s performance growth would recover afterwards.</li>
<li>After continuous corrections, the current valuation is already at a low level, and has already priced in the negative impact of the decline in COVID-19 business and IVD centralized procurement.</li>
