  • SSE 380 consists of 380 mid-cap stocks which are selected from the remaining Shanghai listed A-shares after the constituents of SSE 180 Index.

China Healthcare Weekly (Aug.4) – TCM Rally Ends, P/E Ratio Becomes Ineffective, IRay Technology

By Xinyao (Criss) Wang

  • The rally of TCM companies has probably come to an end. But we think there would be good trading opportunities in 23Q4. Things could become challenging again in 24Q1.
  • If P/E is used when calculating the valuation of innovative pharmaceutical companies, unreasonable situations may arise. Sales profit rather than net profit could be a better choice for P/E.
  • Although iRay’s current P/E has fallen in reasonable range, due to concerns about its long-term growth prospects, valuation could further decline in long term. So, just short-term trade is recommended.
