Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>Excluding COVID-19 projects, some of WuXi AppTec’s conventional CXO business growth rate has declined significantly. So, the fading of COVID-19 dividend period is not the only reason for the performance decline.</li>
<li>The supply-side reform of innovative drugs is further deepened, and the effect of industry clearing is obvious. So, the “winner-takes-all” logic will be gradually deduced in the future.</li>
<li>WuXi AppTec’s controlling shareholders seem to “have foreseen something”- They could continue to reduce holdings on rallies in the future. Together with longer-than-expected industry winter, valuation center could further decline.</li>

Hangzhou Tigermed Consulting C / Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>Tigermed's revenue growth in 2021/2022 would have been pessimistic if it were not for the large COVID-19 orders, which makes us worried about the Company's future growth in post-COVID era.</li>
<li>Profit margin could further decline due to increasing labor cost. Highly volatile financial profit would lead to more ugly profit performance. Higher domestic revenue proportion would limit future growth space.</li>
<li>The year 2022 marked a turning point in Tigermed's performance. Its subsequent growth shows a downward trend.We think its valuation should be lower than WuXi AppTec, with more downside ahead. </li>
