2024年，国内疫苗行业业绩承压明显，头部二类疫苗上市公司康泰生物（300601）(300601.SZ)的业绩 也坐上了"过山车"：第一、第二季度营收和净利均呈现同比双降，第三季度虽实现营收同比双位数增 长，但第四季度业绩再度急转直下。全年实现营收和归母净利润为26.52亿元和2.02亿元，分别同比下滑 23.75%和76.59%。而在今年一季度，虽然公司止住了营收下滑的颓势，然而归母净利润仍同比腰斩 58.51%至2243.41万元。 作为反映疫苗企业市场竞争力的关键指标，批签发量常被视作产品销量的先行信号。然而，证券之星关 注到，康泰生物2024年的批签发量与营收增长呈现背离：尽管其多款核心疫苗产品的批签发量均实现不 同程度的增长，但公司整体营收不增反降，这一数据表明，其批签发量未能有效转化为实际销量的增 长。此外，公司在财务端的隐忧凸显，截至今年一季度末，康泰生物应收账款高达28.54亿元，同比增 长5.1%，应收账款周转率和存货周转率均仅为0.23，反映出公司收款风险增加的同时，资金运营效率低 下。2024年至今，公司股价跌幅超48%。 或受益于乙肝疫苗批签发量增长的带动，2024年康泰生物来自免疫规 ...
