<li>The market is clearly satisfied with WuXi Bio’s interim results. Growth of both non-COVID revenue and new projects were beyond expectations. This makes us look forward to 2023 full-year result.</li>
<li>There’s a significant strength gap between WuXi Bio and Lonza/Samsung Biologics in undertaking commercial-stage orders, which puts WuXi Bio at a disadvantage in competition,making it more vulnerable to financing environment.</li>
<li>It’s not impossible to restore the high growth before COVID,but WuXi Bio needs to meet two conditions.Instead of betting on a V-shaped reversal, it's wiser to take profits in time.</li>
