Equity Bottom-Up

<li>Pharmaron’s performance has shown a clear downward trend this year, and the growth in 23Q4 may be even lower. That means this year's results could fall short of management's expectations.</li>
<li>The essence of unsatisfactory profit margin is due to low capacity utilization/management efficiency.The underlying reason is the sharp decline in drug R&amp;D demand due to the deterioration of financing environment.</li>
<li>Pharmaron seems ill-prepared in peptide CDMO, and its performance would further lag behind Wuxi AppTec in the future. Pharmaron may not be able to contribute alpha during industry downturns.</li>
