<li>If you look up history, Laekna has certain connection with Novartis. However, Novartis seems to have not made much progress in small-molecule targeted oncology therapies in the past few years.</li>
<li>LAE001 would face fierce competition. Its new mechanism may not be accepted by doctors/patients in front of many mature drug options in the market. LAE002 has high R&amp;D failure risk.</li>
<li>Since the stock price performance of a number of innovative drug companies based on license-in model in HKEX is unsatisfactory, together with the weak sentiment, we remain conservative about Laekna. </li>

<li>Cutia's pipelines have unique characteristics. So, the requirements on team's ability are comprehensive. Purely medical background of Cutia's team could be a “hindrance” and may fail to commercialize them well.</li>
<li>There is a real need in the fields Cutia is focusing on, so the story is compelling. However, with limited commercialized products, it’s difficult to prove anything at current stage.</li>
