Can the industry boom pattern continue?
Among the A-share pharmaceutical and biological companies that have disclosed their semi-annual reports in the first half of the year, more than half of the net profit attributable to the parent company achieved a year-on-year increase, which shows that the overall prosperity of the industry is still relatively high
.
So, in the third quarter, can the high prosperity pattern of the pharmaceutical and biological industry continue?
Judging from the pharmaceutical segments that performed well in the first half of the year, they were mainly concentrated in the medical devices, traditional Chinese medicine and CXO sectors
.
Since the beginning of this year, a number of policy innovations, including the seventh batch of centralized procurement of drugs, centralized procurement of high-value medical consumables, and medical insurance cost control, have been promoted, releasing a signal to encourage and support the rapid development of the innovative pharmaceutical and device industry
.
In the traditional Chinese medicine industry, the industry policy dividends are even more continuous, including the "14th Five-Year Plan for Chinese Medicine Development" issued in March and the "14th Five-Year Plan for National Health" issued in May, etc.
The entire industry is entering a high-speed golden period of development
.
Some industry insiders pointed out that in the future, the Chinese medicine industry is expected to usher in an upward turning point with the support of policies and medical insurance
.
It is expected in the industry that pharmaceutical innovation will become the main logic of the development of the entire industry.
Under this background, CXO companies will also benefit for a long time, and leading companies may have high growth potential
.
Ping An Securities believes that it is possible to pay attention to the sectors where the marginal improvement is in the upward trend
.
With the control of public health incidents, the performance of the pharmaceutical industry in the third quarter is expected to achieve accelerated growth.
In the medium and long term, focus on the sectors that are basically upward in the post-epidemic period
.
It is recommended to focus on sub-sectors such as medical services, pharmaceutical business, innovative industry chain, and CXO
.
Some brokerages also said that the pharmaceutical sector has cost-effectiveness and good fundamentals.
The current low valuation is mainly affected by the centralized procurement policy, the epidemic situation, and medical insurance control fees.
However, from the perspective of industry valuation and profits, the pharmaceutical sector belongs to the left-side layout.
At this stage, there is still a bottom line, and we can also look forward to it.
The long-term development space is worthy of attention
