Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>China's CXO sector is growing rapidly, with China's dominant companies providing critical services to global pharmaceutical companies.  New modalities, particularly GLP-1/TIDES, ADCs, and bispecific antibodies, are structural demand drivers.</li>
<li>The biggest overhang for the sector, the US BioSecure Act, is overblown due to the US pharma industry's substantial structural dependency on China's CXO sector.</li>
<li>Pharmaron's investment case rests on three interlocking pillars: an irreplaceable integrated platform, a landmark commercial anchor in the GLP-1 supercycle, and the structural impossibility of a rapid US-China CXO decoupling.</li>
