On the first trading day after the Mid-Autumn Festival (September 28), A-shares underwent a deep correction, with the Shanghai Composite Index falling nearly 2% at one point. Pharmaceutical assets once again demonstrated resilience, with localized counter-trend movements!
The pharmaceutical sector stubbornly resisted the decline. The Pharma ETF Huabao (562050), the only on-market ETF tracking the pharmaceutical index, briefly turned positive against the market trend. Innovative drug concept stock Livzon Pharmaceutical Group Inc. (000513) hit the limit up, while Health-100, Kanghong Pharmaceutical, and Puluo Pharmaceutical all rose more than 5%.
The medical sector fluctuated within a narrow range. Jinbo Bio rose over 4%, while heavyweight device leaders Mindray Medical and United Imaging Healthcare gained more than 2%. Medical ETF Huabao (512170) consolidated below the waterline.
Zhang Fang, fund manager of Pharma ETF Huabao (562050) and Medical ETF Huabao (512170), pointed out that at the current juncture, the main investment theme in pharmaceuticals is shifting from the earlier "undervaluation repair" to "innovation realization" driven, while the AIDD (AI-assisted drug discovery) industrial chain provides new structural opportunities. Attention should be paid to the medium-term allocation value of pharmaceuticals.
Looking ahead, October's ESMO will continue to read out data on ADCs, bispecific antibodies, and more; combined with the results of November's dual medical insurance and commercial insurance catalog, innovative drugs remain worth watching. Regarding AIDD, global computing power and large model manufacturers are accelerating their entry. After the explosion of AI candidate molecules, demand for wet lab processes such as gene synthesis, protein expression and purification, in vitro affinity validation, model animals, and sequencing has been systematically amplified, so relevant domestic companies are expected to benefit.
