Pre-IPO ClouDr Group – The Logical Business Model Can Support Future Growth

By Xinyao (Criss) Wang

  • Based on our analysis, the logic of ClouDr Group’s business model is more solid and feasible than that of Ping An Good Doctor, indicating better outlook.
  • If compared with JD Health and Alibaba Health,besides the sales of pharmacy supplies and hospital supplies, ClouDr also provides hospital/pharmacy SaaS services, indicating wider business scope and broader development space.
  • In terms of valuation, Neusoft Xikang Holdings (NXH HK) is a good comparable company for ClouDr,but investors need to be aware of the market sentiment to new IPOs at that time.
