Actually, many companies in the medical device industry are good at capital operation, such as M&amp;A or spin-off and listing, which has been reflected in the leading medical device companies such as <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/shenzhen-mindray-bio-medic-a" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:28017:1" rel="noopener">Shenzhen Mindray Bio-Medical Electronics (300760 CH)</a> and <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/microport-scientific-corp" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:4487:1" rel="noopener">Microport Scientific (853 HK)</a>. However, Lepu Medical is the only one that enters the fields of both drugs and preparations, and according to the pipeline, the focus is not only on generic drugs, but also on biological drugs of higher competitive dimension (e.g. Lepu Biopharma is in this field.). It is also worth mentioning that this is the second company of Lepu factions to be listed in Hong Kong. The first one was <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/pw-medtech-group-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:9891:1" rel="noopener">Pw Medtech (1358 HK)</a> (Zhang yue’e is Pu Zhongjie’s wife) and the share price has been very weak since its listing. So can Lepu Biopharma have a better performance?
