Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>If WuXi Chemistry’s performance shows downward trend, the overall performance growth won’t be satisfactory. The negative growth of WuXi DDSU means that ineffective competition for domestic innovative drugs is decreasing.</li>
<li>The asset structure is shifting from light asset to heavy asset.It’s particularly crucial whether business model of "one-stop end-to-end service+royalty income" can enable WuXi AppTec to explore new growth points. </li>
<li>The current sentiment on CXO is “fragile” because CXO doesn't have performance sustainability and stability, with “risk discount” problem. Its valuation haven't reached inflection point. Without industry beta,alpha is useless.</li>

Thematic (Sector/Industry)

<ul>
<li>National centralized procurement on ophthalmology and orthopedics would be carried out soon, including ICL and sports medicine. Products in neuro-intervention/neurosurgery/peripheral intervention/IVD reagents would be included in 2023 VBP as well.</li>
<li>After NRDL negotiation/VBP/DRGs policies are fully mature, it is expected to see the emergence of some high-price-oriented payment system for innovative products. Only then will the industry beta really emerge.</li>
<li>If long-term money doesn't have enough understanding of the trend of long-term interest rates, the expected return and valuation model of healthcare companies can't be adjusted in time (e.g. CXO).</li>
