Revaluation of the sector in rotation Preference for leading medical technology companies InTheDocumentIn the recent period, there has been a shift in the style of the Hong Kong stock market from high valuation sectors to the medical and health sector with strong earnings certainty. Sino Biopharmaceutical, as a leading domestic medical technology platform, is gaining market attention for its unique business model of "medicine + insurance + health management". According to the Wisdom Financial APP, Sino Biopharmaceutical is one of the few domestic technology platforms that possess both medical service management capabilities and health insurance business qualifications. Its subsidiary Sino Health Pharmacy has a national drug circulation license, and innovative products such as special drug insurance and ailment insurance launched in cooperation with insurance companies have filled the market gap in traditional health insurance. With the trend of controlling medical insurance costs and the rise of commercial insurance, this "bifocal drive" model not only avoids the profitability dilemma of pure online medical platforms but also reduces policy risks. It is worth noting that the company has reached strategic cooperation agreements with multiple insurance companies, and the high gross margin of the insurance business has become a stabilizer of profits. This deep binding of "medical scenes + insurance payments" makes it difficult for competitors to replicate their business structure in the short term. Currently, Sino Biopharmaceutical Technology is deeply focusing on commercial medical insurance business and positioning it as the anchor point for the company's future strategic development, promoting the scale growth of the commercial medical insurance business. Leveraging the assistance of medical research and specialty drug pharmacies, the company has built a medical service network and drug supply chain network, providing delivery capabilities for medical services to commercial medical insurance customers, creating a differentiated competitive advantage. The annual report shows that by 2024, the revenue from commercial medical insurance services of Sino Biopharmaceutical Technology has grown rapidly, with enterprise commercial medical insurance revenue increasing by 39.6% year-on-year. By the end of 2024, the national customer base of Sino Enterprises' commercial medical insurance has reached 476, covering over 1.1 million employees and their families, with a year-on-year growth of about 45%. Currently, Sino Enterprises operates 39 corporate medical rooms, with an annual employee visit volume exceeding 120,000, a year-on-year growth of over 300%. The medical research assistance business, as an important part of the medical service network of Sino Biopharmaceutical Technology, has served 11,220 doctors in 1,403 departments of 456 tertiary hospitals across the country as of December 31, 2024, building a specialized expert doctor network covering the whole country, giving strong support to the delivery capabilities of commercial medical insurance services. Additionally, starting in 2024, Sino Biopharmaceutical Technology has strategically upgraded the specialty drug pharmacy business line to a comprehensive transformation into a drug supply chain system, using Sino pharmacies as a pivot to build a drug service network, providing services focusing on innovative drugs and brand-name drugs, and paying special attention to regions with great potential for the development of the commercial insurance market. In summary, the moat of Sino Biopharmaceutical is not only from a single business but also from the cross-empowerment of three major sectors. The medical service drives drug sales, cooperative hospital channels contribute to pharmacy orders; the insurance business feeds back medical demand, and insured patients' medical consumption increases; the data loop enhances commercial value, diagnostic and treatment data is used for insurance product design, and insurance claim data optimizes clinical decisions. This "flywheel effect" enables the company to achieve ecological synergies, with significant business barriers. Overall, in the context of the overall warming of the sector, the company's stock price has shown greater resilience, significant excess returns, reflecting the market's recognition of its leading position. Fundamentally, the company's "medical-pharmaceutical-insurance" integrated business model is entering a golden development period. The strong breakthrough in technical aspects and the continuous improvement in fundamentals form a perfect resonance, a rare "Davis double hit" effect in the capital market. The current valuation recovery of Sino Biopharmaceutical may just be the beginning, as the penetration rate of commercial medical insurance rises and the innovative drug market expands, the unique value of its ecological closed-loop is expected to be more fully priced.
