Re-evaluation of value under sector rotation Preference for medical technology leaders In the recent market trend change in the Hong Kong stock market, funds have been flowing from high valuation sectors to the medical and health sector, which has strong performance certainty. As a leading domestic medical technology platform, SIPAI HEALTH's unique business model of "medicine + insurance + health management" is gaining renewed attention in the market. SIPAI HEALTH is considered one of the few domestic technology platforms that have both medical service management capabilities and health insurance business qualifications. Its subsidiary, Sipai Pharmacy, holds a national drug distribution license, and innovative products such as special drug insurance and disease insurance launched in collaboration with insurance companies fill the market gap of traditional health insurance. Under the trend of medical insurance cost control and the rise of business insurance, this "dual-drive" model not only avoids the profit dilemma of purely online medical platforms, but also reduces policy risks. It is worth noting that the company has reached strategic cooperation agreements with several insurance companies, and the high-profit characteristics of its insurance business have become a stabilizer of profits. The deep integration of "medical scenarios + insurance payments" makes it difficult for competitors to replicate its business structure in the short term. Currently, SIPAI HEALTH is focusing on commercial medical insurance business technology and sees this as the anchor point for the company's future strategic development, actively promoting the scale growth of commercial medical insurance business. At the same time, with the assistance of medical research and special drug pharmacy business, the company is building a medical service network and a drug supply chain network, providing delivery capability of medical services to commercial medical insurance clients, creating a differentiating competitive advantage. According to the annual report, by 2024, SIPAI HEALTH's technology business of commercial medical insurance services has achieved rapid revenue growth, with a year-on-year growth of 39.6% in revenue from enterprise commercial medical insurance. By the end of 2024, the number of national clients of Sipai's enterprise commercial medical insurance has reached 476, covering over 1.1 million employees and their families, with a year-on-year growth of approximately 45%. Currently, Sipai's enterprise health insurance operates 39 corporate clinics, with an annual rate of employee visits exceeding 120,000, a year-on-year growth of over 300%. The business of medical research assistance, an important part of SIPAI HEALTH's medical service network, serves 11,220 doctors from 1,403 departments in 456 tertiary hospitals nationwide as of December 31, 2024, building a network of specialist doctors nationwide, empowering the delivery capability of medical services for commercial medical insurance clients. In addition, SIPAI HEALTH's technology began a strategic upgrade of the special drug pharmacy business line in 2024, transforming into a comprehensive drug supply chain system by revamping the retail pharmacy, building a drug service network focusing on innovative and brand drugs, and focusing on regions with great potential for development in the business insurance market. In summary, SIPAI HEALTH's moat stems not only from a single business but also from the cross-fertilization of three major segments. The flow of medical services drives drug sales, the cooperative hospital channel contributes to pharmacy orders; insurance business supports medical demand, and insured patients' medical expense grows; closed-loop data enhances commercial value, diagnostic data is used for insurance product design, and insurance claims data optimize clinical decisions. This "flywheel effect" enables the company to achieve ecological synergies, with significant business barriers. In conclusion, in the context of the overall recovery of the sector, the company's stock price has shown stronger resilience, with significant excess returns reflecting the market's recognition of its leading position. Fundamentally, the company's integrated business model of "medicine - pharmaceuticals - insurance" is entering a golden growth period. The strong breakthrough in technical aspects and the continuous improvement in fundamentals are forming a perfect resonance, a rare "double-click effect" in the capital market. The valuation repair of SIPAI HEALTH may only be the beginning, as the penetration rate of commercial medical insurance and the expansion of the innovative drug market continue, the company's unique value of a complete ecological cycle is expected to be more fully priced.
