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>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>
