Healthcare – China

Adjuvant Drugs Face Tough Road Ahead

Following Anhui, Sichuan and Suzhou, Inner Mongolia HFPC has released its adjuvant drug policy to curb clinical prescription of selected drugs.

The drugs on the list are likely to see declining sales growth. As China’s medical insurance system is facing payment pressure, we expect more provinces to release an adjuvant drug list to ease the financial burden.

Sihuan and Shineway have the largest exposure to the policy risk.

On the other hand, we expect to see a potential industry catalyst - NRDL adjustment - soon.

Maintain UNDERWEIGHT.

A bunch of Wall Street pros are getting bullish on health care

“With staples trading at 22x on [next-12-month] PE, its valuation is even richer than [low volatility, momentum, quality, and growth stocks] and all sectors (especially with its defensive peer healthcare 16.5x)”

The health care sector is expected to grow at a 6.4% pace over the next year, while staples are only projected to grow 3.8%.

Health care also has a higher average dividend yield, at 4.3% versus 4.1% for staples.

Moreover, the health care sector is only paying out 70% of its profits in dividends, while staples are paying out almost 100%.

Asia’s ageing population to cost US$20 trillion in health care, study finds

Asia’s population is ageing faster than anywhere in the world, a study said on Thursday, warning the swelling ranks of the elderly will cost the region US$20 trillion in health care by 2030.

Health systems, businesses and families across Asia-Pacific will come under huge pressure as some 200 million people pass the age of 65 by then, according to the Singapore-based Asia Pacific Risk Centre.

Yearly spending on caring for the elderly is expected to reach US$2.5 billion – five times the cost in 2015 – the study said.

By 2030, there will be 511 million elderly people in the region, out of 3.8 billion, according to the study.

Japan will become the first “ultra-aged” country, with elderly people accounting for 28 per cent of its population, while a fifth of people in Hong Kong, South Korea and Taiwan will be 65.
