E-Commerce in Japan 2021-22: Another High Growth Year

By Michael Causton

  • E-Commerce sales of physical goods in Japan jumped nearly 9% in FY2021.
  • Although this was well down on the pandemic-induced surge the year before, it is still higher than in any year since 2016.
  • This leaves the sector well on track to become the largest single format channel. Total sales finished above ¥20.6 trillion.

Wynn Resorts Ltd: Among the Best Value Propositions if and when Macau Reopens

By Howard J Klein

  • Wynn parent shares have historically traded significantly above peers due to its upscale player focus in Las Vegas that has remained central in its two Macau properties.
  • The remaining headwind in China’s covid policy has no certain duration. Until then, Wynn’s Las Vegas and Boston properties offset some negative impacts of Macau cash burn.
  • Its 52 week high to date hit $105.90, far above peers equally hammered by Beijing zero tolerance policies.

China Healthcare Weekly(Sep9)-Innovative Device Policy,Commercial Success Definition,Don’t Be Fooled

By Xinyao (Criss) Wang

  • NHSA will set aside a certain market to provide space for innovative medical devices/consumables to explore the market in addition to centralized procurement. However, we tend to be cautiously optimistic.
  • We think it is important to clarify for investors what constitutes “commercialization success” – That is to generate revenue at scale and stable profitability through the sale of drugs.
  • All the products that covered by VBP begin to lose logic. Don’t be fooled by those positive interpretations. We are bearish on the sectors with downward logic in long cycle.
