<li>It seems that investors have completely lost patience with WuXi Bio after the Company made new business updates. WuXi Bio’s transparency, communication strategy and expectation management need to be improved.</li>
<li>Although the decline in performance is an important reason for the sharp drop in stock price, we think there're still some deep-seated reasons that investors should pay extra attention to.</li>
<li>Fed's interest rate cut doesn’t necessarily mean immediate improvement in financing environment. In the CXO industry downcycle, whether WuXi Bio can achieve positive turnaround in 24H2 remains to be seen.  </li>
