Shandong Weigao Group Medical Polymer (1066.HK) – Performance Rebound May Not Be as Fast as Imagined
- Weigao’s 23H1 performance was unsatisfactory. 2023 full-year performance may continue to be under pressure because Weigao needs some time to digest the negative impact of centralized procurement on orthopaedic business.
- Weigao has hired advisers to find potential buyers for Argon. if Argon is ultimately sold, then the long-term prospects of Weigao’s interventional business and internationalization need to be reassessed.
- The unsatisfactory share price performance is related to Weigao’s business model – spin-off subsidiaries and IPO separately. There could be rebounds, but it is still possible for Weigao to underperform.
