Analyst Xinyao (Criss) Wang from Smartkarma has published a bearish research report on Wuxi Biologics (2269.HK) titled “Wuxi Biologics (2269.HK) – The Crisis Is Not Over”. Wang points out that Wuxi Bio’s 2023 net profit was disappointing and the profit margin is expected to decline further. The company may not see a recovery in 2024 due to the pace of the Fed’s interest rate cuts and geopolitical risks. Additionally, the goal of reaching a 45% gross margin by 2026 seems challenging. Wang also highlights concerns about foreign CXOs planning to seize Wuxi Bio’s market share due to the BIOSECURE Act.
