Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>Fruquintinib US sales continue to be the main performance driver. License-out expectations for surufatinib is low.Highlight for savolitinib is the combination with osimertinib for NSCLC, which would bring high growth.</li>
<li>Future playbook of HUTCHMED is “continued sharp reduction of expenses + milestones from Takeda based on fruquintinib overseas sales = rapid narrowng of losses”.2024 overseas market sales may exceed US$300m.</li>
<li>There is not much problem with HUTCHMED completing its performance guidance for the year 2024. Reasonable market value range for HUTCHMED is US$1.75-3.75 billion. Breakeven is expected in 2025.</li>

<li>Peak sales of fruquintinib + savolitinib + surufatinib that recorded in HUTCHMED’s revenue is expected to be over US$750 million.Without considering other revenue, market value would reach about US$4.5 billion.</li>

Hutchmed China Ltd (13.HK/​​HCM.US) - Time to Reassess Valuation Prospects Despite the Pain Points

<li>HUTCHMED’s 2023 results were in line with expectation. It is gradually becoming a self-sufficient innovative drug enterprise with sufficient cashflow due to upfront/milestone payments of Takeda and increasing product revenue.</li>
<li>2024 revenue guidance seems very optimistic, which has to rely on fruquintinib’s global sales performance (or Takeda’s contribution), and also on the timing of approval of fruquintinib’s 2L gastric cancer.</li>
<li>Starting from 2024, HUTCHMED will enter a period of accelerated growth in product revenue based on major catalysts.Market value of US$1,200 - US$1,800 million is a good place to long. </li>
