<li>We've seen increasing global cooperation for ADC pipelines. However, licensing deals alone cannot be used as the only basis for judgment. We still need to wait for solid clinical evidence.</li>
<li>ADCs are far less "general and popularized" than PD-1. If compare ADC with GLP-1s, the difference is more obvious.How big the real market is for ADC is a question mark.</li>
<li>WuXi XDC’s share price could perform well after IPO due to positive sentiments towards ADC, but whether its long-term valuation would be higher than peers remains to be seen.  </li>
