medicine hit the bottom and rebounded

HK) rising the most, up 13.14% and 12.75% respectively.

Some analysts pointed out that the main reason why the pharmaceutical sector, including CXO, has tended to strengthen recently is that there are many early adjustments in the CXO industry, and the valuation of most companies has fallen to a low level; Pfizer covid-19 oral drug nimatovir tablets / ritonavir tablets combination packaging (paxlovid) was recently approved by the China food and drug administration, which attracted market attention.

At the same time, Soochow Securities Co.Ltd(601555) pointed out that China Dragon CXO company has cooperated with leading pharmaceutical companies in the United States for many years and has undertaken a large number of covid-19 drug orders. If American pharmaceutical companies replace CXO service providers, they will face a situation of high cost and high risk. In addition, the listing of YaoMing biology in UVL has a very limited impact on the company and industry, and it is expected to be removed from the list in the next few months.

China Securities Co.Ltd(601066) according to a research report published today, covid-19 oral drugs have great potential for commercialization, which is conducive to the leader of small molecule cdmo (customized research, development and production of pharmaceutical contracts). Pfizer expects paxlovid to supply 120 million people in 2022, which has great potential in the upstream supply chain and is conducive to China's excellent small molecule cdmo leading enterprises. By tracking the investment and financing of global innovative drugs and the R & D expenses of MNC, we can see that pharmaceutical innovation continues to increase, and the performance of CXO industry is sustainable.
