Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>A Senate committee moved the bill (S.3558) forward that would prohibit pharmaceutical companies from using foreign service providers like WuXi AppTec and its subsidiaries. However, rational voices are still expected.</li>
<li>Seemingly conflicting proposals are mostly “noise” and disturbances to stock prices. This means in the future, we‘ll see stock prices move sharply again due to latest developments on these bills.</li>
<li>WuXi AppTec should have "bottom-line thinking" and prepare some "backup solutions".Investors don’t need to be overly pessimistic, because when global capital flows reverse, no one will mind these bills anymore.</li>

Latest Impact of the US Biosecure Act on WuXi AppTec/WuXi Bio/WuXi XDC - China CXO Really Game Over?

Thematic (Sector/Industry)

<ul>
<li>The assassination of Trump in July has greatly increased the probability of his election as president this year. However, a Trump presidency is not necessarily good for healthcare industry.</li>
<li>Trump's reform in the field of healthcare has two major propositions - One is to achieve the independence of US pharmaceutical supply chain. The other is to reduce drug prices.</li>
<li>From a US national security perspective, China's APIs/CXO would be the segments with the highest sanction risk. China Biotech may also face some headwinds. The risk of "decoupling" further increases.</li>

What Does a Trump Presidency Mean for China Healthcare?

<ul>
<li>The approval rate of Draft Bill is very low. So, it's more of a “strangulation” of investment sentiment. But considering the 2024 US presidential election, similar negative proposals may resurface. </li>
<li>WuXi AppTec has little control over the entire situation.There's “valuation discount” for China CXOs due to geopolitical conflicts. It’s difficult to completely rule out the possibility of “deliberate short selling”. </li>
<li>If look deeper, considering "sensitive situations" at present, to some extent, we may have already been in a financial war.The goal of short selling is to pick up cheap chips. </li>
