Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>Since the domestic revenue scale of PD-1 has been much lower-than-expected, the market seems no longer willing to offer GLP-1 weight loss drug high expectations. However, that's not right. </li>
<li>For China healthcare, the emergence of negative domestic policies is a time for reassessment and seeking opportunities, rather than a time of blind pessimism.</li>
<li>Issuing convertible bonds is clearly a bad decision for Microport, which chose to sacrifice the interests of minority shareholders. Together with weak fundamentals/cashflow pressure, the management needs to take responsibility.</li>

<li>We analyzed our top picks and investment logic in CXO, pharmaceuticals and medical device industry. Overall, as a “defensive sector”, China healthcare has investment value in such complicated external environment.</li>

<li>Mindray has encountered bottleneck in performance growth. So, it urgently hopes to bring "new growth stories". APT Medical’s current growth momentum is commendable, and could also complement Mindray's product line.</li>
<li>We saw poor stock price performance of both after the announcement. High acquisition premium and the possibility that APT Medical’s future performance fall short of expectations are among the reasons. </li>
<li>In fact, both sides got what they wanted. We advise investors to be patient.Perhaps, Mindray would indeed make a breakthrough from this acquisition, which is also a blow to Microport.  </li>
