    The former "medical stock brother", behind the sharp drop in Hengrui's share price

    The former "medical stock brother", behind the sharp drop in Hengrui's share price

    For many years, Hengrui Pharmaceuticals has been regarded as the "big brother of pharmaceutical stocks", and its market value once exceeded 600 billion yuan, but now, this dominance has been robbed by Mindray Medical
    .
    As of the close of September 7, Hengrui Medicine reported 48.


    08 yuan per share, with a total market value of approximately 307.


    In the first half of 2021 alone, Hengrui Pharmaceuticals suffered multiple stock price drops, including the failure of the fifth batch of centralized procurement in June and the failure of the core product iodixanol; the threshold for oncology drug research and development was raised in early July, which caused the company Bad strikes and so on
    .
    The most recent incident occurred on the second day after the publication of the Interim Report, and it was the first time in nearly 5 years that the limit was directly blocked


    .


    On August 19, Hengrui Medicine released the 2021 H1 performance report
    .
    During the reporting period, the company achieved operating income of 13.


    297 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 17.


    There are two main reasons for the performance lower than market expectations: one is the decline in sales of traditional generic drugs due to the impact of centralized procurement, which puts greater pressure on the company’s performance; Price cuts + difficulty in entering the hospital dragged down, and revenue grew negatively from the previous month during the reporting period
    .

    Under the action of the three-medicine linkage series of policies, the decline in the performance of generic drugs and the decline in stock prices may not be unique to Hengrui Pharmaceuticals.
    It is the "throttle" of pharmaceutical companies dominated by generic drugs in the process of transforming to R&D and innovation.
    When the life cycle of a new product is over, whether it is performance or stock price, it will usher in a new round of take-off
    .

    For Hengrui Medicine, currently 43 varieties of the company have passed or deemed to have passed the consistency evaluation (20 are the first ones), 30 of which have been included in the national centralized procurement, and 18 have won the bid, an average decrease of 72.
    6%
    .
    A number of core generic drug products have been included in centralized procurement, including docetaxel, cisatracurium, dexmedetomidine, iodixanol, etc.


    It can be seen that the impact of centralized procurement of generic drugs on the company's future performance is predictable


    On the other hand, the proportion of Hengrui Pharmaceutical’s innovative drug revenue has increased from 14% in 2018 to nearly 40% of H1 in 2021.
