Conclusion:

Maintain the "buy" rating: the company actively distributes the market for in vitro diagnostic reagents. In 2014, it acquired 75% of Fujian New Continental Biotechnology Co., Ltd. to enter the field of in vitro diagnostic reagents. In April this year, it acquired the remaining 25% of the shares of New World, turning it into a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company. Now the company has acquired 15% of Fulgent and set up Fujun Gene Biotechnology Co., Ltd., which will introduce international first-class gene diagnosis services into China. In addition to in vitro diagnosis, the company also established Xilong (Shanghai) Medical Technology Co., Ltd. to act as an agent for the sales of major international brands in the medical business section. Xilong (Shanghai) Medical reached 80 million in revenue after its establishment last year. The company is expected to make more than 30 million of its profits in the medical section this year, more than double that of the same period last year.

From 2016 to 2018, the company is expected to have an EPS of 0.254, 0.370 and 0.479 yuan, maintaining a "buy" rating.

Risk tips: 1. Macro-economic decline, the company's traditional business decline; 2. The market promotion of in vitro diagnostic reagents is not as expected.
