Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>WuXi XDC’s YoY revenue growth rate fell to double-digit while it was kept triple-digit growth rate in previous periods. How much revenue generated from backlog isn’t within WuXi XDC’s control. </li>
<li>The significance of healthy growth of the global ADC market is that the good story of ADC CXO is able to continue. So, WuXi XDC’s short-term performance growth is guaranteed.</li>
<li>The establishment of an independent biopharmaceutical supply chain based on US national security concerns is inevitable. So, WuXi XDC’s stock price performance is more influenced by geopolitical conflicts than fundamentals. </li>

<li>Due to BIOSECURE Act, US companies are leaving Chinese partners.If Trump is elected, his sanctions on China's supply chain may intensify. So, there should be “valuation discount” for China CXOs.</li>
