Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>It seems that Mr Market was not satisfactory with WuXi AppTec’s 2022H1 performance. If excluding COVID-19 projects (which are regarded as a one-time increment), the performance growth was not high.</li>
<li>Considering that the CXO preliminary bid winning has declined largely in the US, domestic CXO would not begin to gradually reflect the slowdown of newly added orders until Q4.</li>
<li>We are concerned about WuXi AppTec's performance in 2023. As an old generation CXO, it's hard to achieve V-shaped rebound. So, 2022 is a good time to offload the Company.</li>
