Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>BRUKINSA QoQ growth slowed down to single digit in 24Q3, thus dragging down the overall product revenue growth.However, such QoQ growth and market share growth were still higher than Imbruvica/Calquence. </li>
<li>BRUKINSA’s full-year revenue is expected to reach US$2.5 billion. Due to lower 24Q3 product revenue growth, we adjusted our 2024 forecast - Full year revenue would reach about US$3.7 billion.</li>
<li>BeiGene's performance in 24Q1-Q3 is still on track. Peak sales of BRUKINSA + tislelizumab is about US$5.5 billion. Reasonable market value range for <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/beigene-ltd-1c8ba4ff-edc5-43c3-b3fe-c3e4230f1c53" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:40395:1" rel="noopener">BeiGene</a> is US$18.5-27.5 billion. </li>

Jiangsu Hengrui Medicine / Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>On the surface, it seems that Hengrui's performance growth in 24H1 is very high, but if excluding the upfront payment from Merck, the Company’s performance actually falls short of expectations.</li>
<li>Our forecast of revenue growth in 2024, 2025, 2026 (excluding Merck’s upfront payment) is 12% YoY, 8% YoY, 15% YoY, respectively. By 2026, Hengrui may still suffer from VBP.</li>
<li>Hengrui is overvalued and reasonable P/E is about 30 (or lower). We also don’t think Hengrui’s valuation should be higher than that of BeiGene. Current high valuation cannot be justified.</li>
