中文(ZH) 中信证券：中药OTC板块有望迎来“基本面多重共振”

TCM OTC sector poised for profit recovery amid falling raw material costs

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A report from CITIC Securities suggests the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Over-The-Counter (OTC) sector is poised for significant improvement. This optimism stems from a sharp decline in the prices of key raw materials like natural bezoar and processed donkey-hide gelatin, alleviating cost pressures for downstream industries. Additionally, inventory reduction cycles in the midstream are nearing completion, signaling a shift away from aggressive channel stocking towards more sustainable growth with resilient financial statements and operating cash flows. The report anticipates that cost savings will translate into improved profitability, making it an opportune moment for strategic investment in the TCM OTC sector. AI
