Earnings Risks
- Lower-than-expected tender prices and procurement prices of major products.
- Slower-than-expected opening of drug tenders and procurement programmes.
- Intensifying market competition.
- Possible failure of new product launches and market expansion.
Share Price Catalysts
- Drug tender programmes to bring market expansion opportunities.
- Potential M&As and new product launches to enrich product mix and fuel longer-term growth.
Conclusion
The report highlights the performance and outlook of key companies and sectors across several Asian markets. Lijun International faces margin pressures due to secondary price negotiations but is expected to benefit from tender wins in the second half of 2015. Xinchen China Power, on the other hand, is benefitting from a licensing agreement with BMW for the Prince Engine, which is expected to enhance its product mix and customer base, although earnings impact is not immediate. The overall sentiment is cautiously optimistic, with a mix of BUY, HOLD, and SELL recommendations based on financial performance and future prospects.
