Robust overseas momentum and domestic

南微医学(688029)
    A solid 2025; 1Q26 revenue slightly ahead of expectations. In 2025, MicroTech reported revenue of RMB3.2bn (+15.5% YoY) and attributable net profit ofRMB570mn (+3.1% YoY). Its 1Q26 revenue grew 22.1% YoY to RMB854mn,slightly beating our expectations and accounted for 24% of our full-year forecast(vs. the historical average of 21%). Attributable net profit declined 9.0% YoY toRMB146mn primarily dragged by FX losses. Given the strong growth ofoverseas business and potential recovery of domestic business, we raise our2026 full-year revenue growth estimates from 11.4% to 15.9%.
    Overseas business remained the primary growth engine. In 2025,overseas revenue increased 40.9% YoY to RMB1.9bn. Excluding theRMB267mn contribution from subsidiary CME, organic overseas growthremained solid at ~21%. This strong momentum persisted in 1Q26, withoverseas revenue up 28.2% YoY, lifting its revenue contribution from 60%in 2025 to 61% in 1Q26. We believe the acquisition of CME and CONMED’s(CNMD US, NR) GI endoscopic consumable product lines will significantlyenhance Micro-Tech’s direct sales footprint in US and European markets.We continue to view the direct sales capability as a critical competitive moatfor its rapid overseas growth. Additionally, the January 2026 launch of theThailand manufacturing center should further enhance its global deliveryefficiency and supply chain resilience.
    Domestic market showed signs of recovery. While 2025 domesticrevenue declined 9.6% YoY to RMB1.25bn due to the VBPs, 1Q26 domesticrevenue recovered with a 13.6% YoY growth. Notably, domestic sales of GIproducts grew ~25% YoY in 1Q26. Despite the ongoing VBPs inGuangdong and Zhejiang provinces, we believe the marginal policy impactis weakening, driven by the rapid growth of innovative products. In our view,Micro-Tech’s domestic business has shown signs of bottoming out.
    Innovative products contributed meaningful incremental growth.Revenue from innovative products (including visualization business) grewover 40% YoY in 2025, accounting for 8% of total revenue. In 1Q26, revenuefrom innovative products increased 65% YoY, expanding their revenueshare to 10.6%. With domestic channel inventory for single-use endoscopeslargely digested and strong global growth, we expect visualization businessto maintain robust momentum in 2026E. Overall, we see the continued rampof the innovation portfolio and overseas expansion as effective offsets todomestic VBP pressure.
    Maintain BUY. Given the slight 1Q26 revenue growth beat, we raise our2026E–2028E revenue forecasts. Accordingly, we raise our target price toRMB97.38 based on a 10-year DCF model (WACC: 10.7%, terminal growth:2.0%; both unchanged).
