China Healthcare Weekly (Sep.8) – Fosun Pharma, Medical Device Outlook, Biotech Investment Criteria
- The past “infrastructure-driven demand model” in medical devices has become “an updated model”. The future reasonable demand for medical devices may fall back to a quarter of pre anti-corruption levels.
- Top innovative pharmaceutical companies worth investing in need to meet certain conditions. Currently, there is still a gap between Chinese pharmaceutical companies and companies like Regeneron in various aspects.
- Henlius is of great strategic significance for Fosun Pharma, which actually increases the privatization success rate. Valuation logic of Fosun Pharma should be based on PE/VC firms not traditional pharma.

- Miniso (MNSO) reported C2Q24 revenue (3.2%)/1.9% vs. our estimate/consensus. Non-GAAP NI (5.6%)/(2.7%) vs. our estimate/consensus.
- Recent weak economic data in both China and U.S.,along with MNSO’s deceleration in overseas average store sales;
- We cut TP from US$34 to US$24 and maintain BUY.
