Porton Pharma Solutions / Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>Porton made a successful turnaround and the CGT business layout is also in the right direction. The US$217 million new order would improve the certainties of its 2022 performance.</li>
<li>The concerns on potential deterioration of international relations and the broken logic in CXO sector also apply to <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/porton-pharma-solutions-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:14201:1" rel="noopener">Porton Pharma Solutions (300363 CH)</a>, which should be aware of by investors.</li>
<li>So, there is a long way to go for Porton to truly get into the first tier. It may not be a good buying point currently considering the high valuation.</li>
