Abstract

Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic at the end of 2019, the pharmaceutical industry has entered a period of rapid development. Enterprises have adjusted resources through mergers and acquisitions to achieve scale expansion and synergy effects, thereby enhancing their strength. This paper analyzes the case of Liuzhou Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.’s acquisition of Wantong Pharmaceutical in 2018, quantitatively examines various financial indicators from 2014 to 2019, explores the feasible paths for the future development of small and medium-sized pharmaceutical companies, and explores the specific motives and effects of mergers and acquisitions by listed companies through the “PE + listed company” type of merger and acquisition approach, providing a reference for optimizing merger and acquisition strategies.
