China Medical System (0867.HK): Accelerating Development and Stepping to a New Height Driven by Innovation
By Gelonghui
HONG KONG, 2021年04月03日 - (JCN Newswire) - As the earning season approaches, once again listed pharmaceutical companies are attracting the attention of the public. Recently, China Medical System Holdings Limited ("CMS" or the "Company") has released its annual results, with both revenue and profit higher than market expectations. According to its 2020 annual results, turnover is up by 14.4% to RMB6.946 billion; net profit up by 30.7% to RMB2.556 billion; basic earnings per share up to RMB1.024, with a proposed final dividend of RMB0.20 per share.
In the past, influenced by expectations of the effects of China's centralized procurement policy and the Company's product transition, CMS's valuation in the capital market was once under pressure, but with the Company's strategic transformation from a CSO to an innovative pharmaceutical company, coupled with its own solid business growth, its share price has gained a significant increase in the past few months, but is still relatively low in the capital market. The Company's current dynamic P/E ratio is only about 13x, with a market value of HK$ 39.4 billion. However, market values of innovative pharmaceutical companies without profits such as BeiGene and Junshi Biosciences have well exceeded HK$50 billion or even HK$100 billion in HKEX. This shows that the share price of the Company does not reflect its real value after its transformation. It's worth digging deeper into the innovative pipeline of the Company to take a look at its long-term growth potential and the inevitability of valuation increase.
