China Healthcare Weekly (Aug11)-Anti-Corruption Update, Increase A-Share Shareholder Return, CanSino
- Recent share-price declines in healthcare is mainly related to anti-corruption campaigns. Here’re some updates.We recommend investors not to rush to buy the dip, but wait for the bottom.
- We recommend A-share healthcare companies to buy back shares/increase dividends, in which case, despite slowing growth, A-shares are still the RMB-asset with the greatest potential for increases in expected returns.
- CanSino Biologics (6185 HK) has entered a Framework Agreement with AstraZeneca, but investors should not be overly optimistic about the short-term or even medium-term performance contribution brought by this cooperation.
