<ul>
<li>HUTCHMED’s 23H1 results were in line with expectation. We updated our forecast for the three core products. Its 2023 total revenue would achieve a high double-digit growth. HUTCHMED is undervalued. </li>
<li>Performance prospects for 2024 and beyond largely depend on whether fruquintinib can smoothly obtain FDA approval in 2023, which means significant progress in internationalization and possibility of breakeven in 2025.</li>
<li>Based on the performance so far, we think the clarity of HUTCHMED’s performance is high and the guidance given by management is reliable. The Company deserves more attention from investors.</li>

<ul>
<li>Our forecast is sales of olverembatinib in 2025 could reach RMB500mn. APG-2575 is better than Sonrotoclax in ORR/safety profile, but global commercialization success is not simply determined by clinical data.</li>
<li>Placing price of HK$68.6/share has priced in the successful licensing deal of APG-2575 to some extent, which however is not a done deal. US$1.5-2.375bn is a more reasonable valuation range.</li>
<li>The big rally in biotech sector is not based on fundamental inflection point. The driving mentality behind the valuation bubble this time has a more obvious nature of “short-term gambling”.  </li>
