Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>24Q4 is under pressure to meet performance targets, and may even miss the guidance. It’s already good if net profit can reach about RMB9.6 billion in 2024 full year.</li>
<li>US clients use WuXi AppTec’s shorter-term services with lower prices to save on cash. These contracts may not be converted into later commercial-stage projects as expected due to geopolitical risks.</li>
<li>2024 is obviously a low point for performance, but it is uncertain whether the expected recovery will occur in 2025 and beyond. The BIOSECURE Act makes future performance growth unclear.</li>

WuXi AppTec (2359.HK/603259.CH) 24Q3 - Performance Pressure Has Not Been Relieved

<ul>
<li>The message WuXi AppTec hopes to convey in 24H1 report is that the Company isn’t losing orders/customers due to BIOSECURE Act and from 2025 it will return to high growth. </li>
<li>TIDES business growth is below expectations. Whether WuXi AppTec's performance can be reversed is no longer solely depends on fundamentals/industry cycles, but on whether geopolitical risks can be fully resolved.</li>
<li>Regardless of the outcome of 2024 presidential election, securing US supply chain is a already bipartisan consensus. If any Bill does pass in the future, valuation will plummet again.</li>
