<ul>
<li>No matter how good a story is, it needs to be supported by sales data.If sales of Toumai cannot scale up, the complete closed-loop of surgical robot+consumables+solution/service would be groundless.</li>
<li>The commercialization dilemma has become “a dark cloud” for Medbot. Before Medbot makes any breakthrough in internationalization or establishes an effective profit model in China, the Company lacks investment logic.</li>
<li>The catalyst for stock prices from favorable policies is not lasting. Weaker-than-expected financial performance would quickly throw valuations into correction. As things stand, Medbot is only suitable for short-term trade.</li>
