Bu Rixin believes that in the past few years, after the IPO tide of semiconductors, especially chip design companies, the IPO dividend period of chip design companies has basically ended. "Except for some large chip fields that have not been completely replaced, there are listed companies in other sub-fields, and these fields have already experienced serious involution at the level of low-end products. In the follow-up, if enterprises in these fields are encouraged to conduct IPOs, it is equivalent to encouraging disorderly competition in the industry. "In July this year, when Shanghai promoted the establishment of the parent fund of three leading industries with a total scale of 100 billion yuan, it said that it would focus on the three leading industries of integrated circuits, biomedicine and artificial intelligence, and give play to the functions of "investing early and investing small", industrial investment, merger and acquisition integration, and strengthening the chain, so as to improve the overall energy level and development level of the three leading industries in Shanghai."The government's participation in M&A fund investment does not mean that the government will dominate the M&A business, but encourage market-oriented institutions and chain owners to lead the M&A business through the above-mentioned M&A fund or parent fund support." Bu Rixin believes.
The "Action Plan" proposes to strive to land a number of representative M&A cases in key industries by 2027, and cultivate about 10 internationally competitive listed companies in key industries such as integrated circuits, biomedicine and new materials.Since the second half of 2024, there have been frequent large-scale acquisitions in the A-share market, and the biomedical industry has accelerated its integration. For example, China Bio-Pharmaceutical intends to acquire about 55% equity of Haooubo by means of "agreement+offer", Qianhong Pharmaceutical plans to invest 390 million yuan for bankruptcy and reorganization of Fiona Fang Pharmaceutical, Pharmacists help to acquire a piece of medicine, Xinnuowei plans to acquire 100 grams of Shiyao, and Sichuan Shuangma announced the cross-border acquisition of Jianyuan Medicine ...However, in the field of large chips such as GPU, it has not yet run out of listed companies. It can be seen that Moore Thread, Biwa Technology, Suiyuan Technology, etc. have started the listing counseling process one after another.
"At present, the Yangtze River Delta has many excellent semiconductor enterprises and research institutions, while Shanghai has many top semiconductor design enterprises at home and abroad, such as Quanlun Electronics, Lanqi Technology, Fudan Microelectronics, Weir, Aojie Technology and Ziguang Zhanrui. The establishment of industrial mergers and acquisitions will help to integrate industry resources, promote industry agglomeration, and form a group of design companies with strength and key core technologies. " Yuan Shuai said.In this regard, Bu Rixin believes that "chain owners" enterprises, as market-oriented institutions, set up CVC funds and will carry out horizontal and vertical mergers and acquisitions around the upstream and downstream of key industrial chains. "This kind of M&A will help chain-owner enterprises to expand their market scale and enhance their market competitiveness, which is the most in line with the logic of M&A and the basic logic of the Action Plan to encourage chain-owner enterprises to set up CVC funds."Biomedicine, as one of the leading industries in Shanghai, has a scale of nearly one trillion yuan. In 2023, the industrial scale reached 933.732 billion yuan, an increase of 4.9%; Shanghai's biomedical industry chain is relatively complete, with many medical device enterprises and CRO, CMO and CSO enterprises. Therefore, Yuan Shuai believes that the Shanghai Municipal Government will set up a 10 billion yuan M&A fund for biomedical industry, which is expected to cultivate internationally competitive biomedical enterprises through mergers and acquisitions.
