Core view
Pharmaceutical week view: the release of the US pharmaceutical supply chain report is optimistic about the CXO sector, and the release of the US pharmaceutical supply chain report eliminates the market's concerns about CXO review. On February 24, the White House released a plan to revitalize the U.S. manufacturing industry and ensure key supply chains in 2022. On the same day, HHS issued the public health supply chain and industrial base one year report. The report is a review of executive order 14017 a year ago. For the supply chain of APIs and key materials, the report proposes that HHS will continue to identify and predict product shortages, alleviate or eliminate shortages by investing in support of local production, and does not mention the review of CXO and restrictions on overseas supply chains to eliminate market concerns.
CXO enterprises are still in a high outlook, with historically low valuations, and are firmly optimistic. We believe that pharmaceutical outsourcing service CXO is a rare high growth segment in the pharmaceutical industry. Thanks to the strong demand for drug R & D and the improvement of R & D and production outsourcing rate outside China, there is still much room for service penetration. According to the announced performance express and performance forecast for 2021, the net profit attributable to the parent company of most CXO companies has increased by more than 40%. From the current order situation, it can still continue to grow rapidly in 2022. At present, the valuation of CXO company is at a historical low. With the gradual elimination of overseas policy disturbances, the performance of CXO company is gradually realized, and the valuation is expected to be repaired.
