SUMMARY
  • Sinopharm Group Co Ltd H (1099 HK) reported YoY and sequential growth in revenue and net profit in 4Q23. However, outlook for the sector remains bleak in near-term.
  • Last year, Sinopharm’s distribution business was impacted by anti-corruption campaign. The momentum of the campaign continues in this year also. This lowers conviction toward improving performance in 1H24 at least.
  • Despite of mid-single digit revenue growth, Sinopharm’s margin remains stagnant or is declining. Sinopharm still earns more than 70% revenue from low margin earning pharmaceutical distribution business.
