<ul>
<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>

Hutchmed China Ltd (13.HK/​​HCM.US) - 2023 Results Preview and Catalysts in 2024

<ul>
<li>The market seems “not excited” with fruquintinib’s FDA approval.We analyzed the potential reasons behind.Beyond boosting market sentiment when license-out deal is announced initially,its practical impact on valuation could be limited.</li>
<li>HUTCHMED’s financial performance is good. The deal with Takeda helps to relieve cash-flow pressure. We think HUTCHMED is a relatively safe bet for investors as eventual breakeven is drawing near.</li>
<li>If based on conservative calculation, market value of about US$1,455-2,055 million is a good place to long.When market value is higher than US$3,500 million, it's time to consider taking profits.</li>
