Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>Pharmaron’s disappointing 2022 performance is just a start.Its business layout has always been "one step behind". CGT cannot become the main cornerstone business supporting valuation growth for the next stage.</li>
<li>The overall environment of CXO is different from that of the past. Even if Pharmaron finally achieves end-to-end integration,whether the prosperity of CXO industry still exists is a question mark.</li>
<li>Pharmaron may have entered a vicious circle, so that it is very challenging to generate the expected results no matter which direction the Company tries to break through.  </li>

Pharmaron’s disappointing 2022 performance is just a start.Its business layout has always been "one step behind". CGT cannot become the main cornerstone business supporting valuation growth for the next stage.
The overall environment of CXO is different from that of the past. Even if Pharmaron finally achieves end-to-end integration,whether the prosperity of CXO industry still exists is a question mark.
Pharmaron may have entered a vicious circle, so that it is very challenging to generate the expected results no matter which direction the Company tries to break through.

<li>WuXi AppTec is facing how to keep high growth momentum under the high base of last year's performance.If there’s no high growth point with certainty,high valuation is hard to sustain.</li>
<li>The US wouldn’t stop tightening monetary policy until "it’s fully prepared".Investors need to consider a situation that high interest rate environment is longer than expected,under which CXO remains in trouble.</li>
<li>Market sentiment towards CXO has changed. We think CXO isn't suitable for long-term hold but only for short-term trade in 2023. Buying low and selling high is a better strategy.</li>
