Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>One interesting interpretation of the new Akeso-summit cooperation is that it aims to pave the way for potential acquisition of Summit by MNC. The climax of the story hasn’t arrived.</li>
<li>Jacobio is a good target for potential M&amp;A and licensing deals. So, this company has considerable potential returns and also strong safety margin, which is worth taking a gamble on.</li>
<li>There’re concerns that Genscript could face US scrutiny due to alleged ties with Chinese government. Share price rebound may not last considering geopolitical conflicts and CXO industry downturn in 24H1.</li>

One interesting interpretation of the new Akeso-summit cooperation is that it aims to pave the way for potential acquisition of Summit by MNC. The climax of the story hasn’t arrived.
Jacobio is a good target for potential M&amp;A and licensing deals. So, this company has considerable potential returns and also strong safety margin, which is worth taking a gamble on.
There’re concerns that Genscript could face US scrutiny due to alleged ties with Chinese government. Share price rebound may not last considering geopolitical conflicts and CXO industry downturn in 24H1.
