Company Report

Shanghai Pharmaceuticals: Reinitiating Coverage on the Second-Largest Chinese Medical Distributor

We reinitiate on Shanghai Pharmaceuticals Holding, or SPH, with a narrow moat rating and a fair value estimate of HKD 13.50 per H share. SPH is the second-largest pharmaceutical distributor by revenue in China. The stock is currently trading at a 17% discount to our fair value estimate. SPH has little revenue cyclicality. While some of SPH’s drug pipelines are currently conducting clinical trials in the North American region, we think its exposure to geopolitical risks is small. As of 2023, only 1.2% of total revenue comes from overseas.
