Core Viewpoint - The demand slowdown is impacting Jinbo Biological, the first stock of recombinant collagen on the Beijing Stock Exchange, as evidenced by its recent financial performance and stock price decline [1][3]. Financial Performance - In the first half of 2025, Jinbo Biological reported revenues of 859 million yuan and a net profit attributable to shareholders of 392 million yuan, representing year-on-year growth of 42.43% and 26.65% respectively [1]. - However, the revenue growth rate has significantly slowed, with a 48 percentage point decrease compared to the same period in 2024, marking the first time since its listing in July 2023 that revenue growth fell below 40% [1]. Product Performance - The slowdown in performance is primarily attributed to the decline in sales of its medical device product "Wei Yimei," which is based solely on recombinant collagen [3]. - In the first half of 2025, Wei Yimei generated 645 million yuan in revenue, with a year-on-year growth of 34.7%, a drop of over 70 percentage points compared to the same period in 2024 [3]. Market Strategy - In July 2023, Jinbo Biological partnered with Meituan to promote Wei Yimei through a "100 billion subsidy" initiative, which has led to a significant drop in terminal prices [5]. - The price for new customers in Beijing for Wei Yimei has decreased by over 40% compared to the previous year's subsidized price, with subsequent prices dropping by more than 70% from the original guidance [5]. Growth in Other Segments - Despite the slowdown in the medical beauty segment, Jinbo Biological's cosmetics revenue is experiencing high growth, with functional skincare brands like "Zhongyuan" and "ProtYouth" generating 121 million yuan in the first half of 2025, a year-on-year increase of 152% [5]. Strategic Partnerships - Jinbo Biological has engaged with Zhong Shanshan's Yangshengtang to establish a broader sales promotion system, leveraging Yangshengtang's extensive distribution network through its subsidiary Nongfu Spring [6][7]. - This partnership is expected to enhance market penetration for Jinbo Biological's skincare brands, although it may challenge the valuation scarcity of Jinbo Biological as a supplier in the medical beauty sector [7]. Valuation Comparison - Currently, Jinbo Biological's price-to-earnings (PE) ratio is around 40 times, while leading A-share cosmetics company Proya has a PE ratio of approximately 20 times [8].
