Pre-IPO Xunfei Healthcare Technology (PHIP Updates) – Profitability Are Always the Pain Points

By Xinyao (Criss) Wang

  • Medical industry characteristics are the seriousness of diagnosis/treatment and the irreversibility of the process, which are the difficulties in implementing technology. The value that AI can provide is limited. 
  • Xunfei’s business model is not To C, but To G (government) model. It’s not possible for SOE customers to pay high price for Xunfei’s AI model/products, leading to questionable profitability.
  • Pre-IPO valuation has reached RMB8.4 billion. Without sustainable growth and stable profitability, valuation/liquidity of Xunfei after listing wouldn’t be good. We think Xunfei’s valuation could be similar to Yidu Tech.
