New measures by Beijing to boost the sector and expectations for Federal Reserve interest-rate cuts provide scope for a rebound as the gauge trades near a record low relative to global peers, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
“We’re becoming more optimistic on pharma,” Morgan Stanley analysts led by Sean Wu wrote in a note. The broker favors Shanghai United Imaging Healthcare Co. and Shenzhen Mindray Bio-Medical Electronics Co. among medical technology shares for their high sales exposure in equipment replacement.

A lack of exposure to blockbuster weight-loss drug producers could also continue to leave China’s health stocks behind overseas peers. Eli Lilly & Co., which sells obesity therapy Zepbound, holds the largest weighting on MSCI’s global health sub-gauge, while maker of hit obesity drug Wegovy, Novo Nordisk A/S, comes third.
