Anhui Province publicly solicits pre-bid data for the provincial centralized procurement of Class B large medical equipment, surgical robots included, which is worth investors’ attention.
No more than five biotech would truly stand out in the future. We suggest investors focus on those biotech in the first echelon, rather than betting on riskier smaller ones.
For Jafron, we analyzed some key points of the company. Due to the concerns, the temporary rebound in performance in 2023 is not enough to completely reverse the investment logic.

<li>With no changes made at the March rebalance, we are still stuck at 76 index constituents. And it's been a year later than originally planned to reach 80 index constituents.</li>
<li>We list 10 potential inclusions in June. Adding all 10 stocks will lead to around 5% one-way turnover, so there could be a mix of larger and smaller stocks added.</li>
<li>There will be at least 1x ADV to trade on nearly all inclusions. Short interest is over 4% of float on some stocks and there has been a recent jump.</li>
