<li>The NRDL negotiation has completely changed the pricing method and valuation logic of innovative drugs. Based on the 3D Alphamab Simcere Agreements, 3D Medicines would have limited profits from envafolimab.</li>
<li>The majority candidates are based on license-in model. The intention to “pile up” a nice pipeline based on license-in model before IPO is obvious. 3D Medicines’s R&amp;D capability is questionable.</li>
<li>The overall quality and core competitiveness of 3D Medicines are not high. Mr. Market is not friendly to the valuation of companies based on license-in model. </li>

Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>Our forecast of the total peak sales of BRUKINSA, tislelizumab and the rest commercialized products is about RMB10 billion, which is not enough for BeiGene to turn losses into profits. </li>
<li>BeiGene has the highest R&amp;D/academic ability among domestic pharmaceutical enterprises,but BeiGene cannot be assessed according to the standards of Chinese pharmaceutical enterprises due to its fundamentally different cost structure/breakeven point.</li>
<li>The current market value has already priced in the success of TIGIT project to some extent. In other words, the upward elasticity may be limited. But BeiGene deserves long-term follow.</li>
