In recent years, driven by national policy support and the pursuit of self-development by pharmaceutical enterprises, Chinese pharmaceutical enterprises have embarked on a large-scale path of mergers and acquisitions. The paper takes the asset restructuring event between Yunnan Baiyao and Shanghai Pharmaceutical as the research target, and combines relevant theories to deeply analyze the motives of Yunnan Baiyao's mergers and acquisitions. The event study method is used to analyze and evaluate the short-term market response to this event. The research shows that the motivation for Yunnan Baiyao's acquisition is reflected in leveraging Shanghai Pharma's advantageous resources and capabilities of research and development to achieve collaborative development, improve its market share, promote its transformation and upgrading as well as the layout of the industrial chain, and reduce transaction costs. By calculating the cumulative excess return rate and other indicators of Yunnan Baiyao before and after the event, it's found that the event has had a positive wealth effect on the shareholders of Yunnan Baiyao in the short term.
