HSBC Research Raises WUXI APPTEC (02359.HK) TP to HKD225.9, Quarterly Results Beat Forecasts for 3 Consecutive Quarters
2026-11-02 14:28:39
HSBC Global Investment Research issued a research report stating that WUXI APPTEC (02359.HK)'s third-quarter revenue and adjusted net profit rose 38% YoY and 61.3% YoY respectively, beating the broker's and market expectations for the third consecutive quarter. The company also raised its full-year revenue growth guidance for continuing operations from 35%-39% to 40%-42%, while its capital expenditure plan was increased from RMB7.5 billion-RMB8.5 billion to RMB8 billion-RMB8.5 billion.

The broker lifted its adjusted net profit forecasts for WUXI APPTEC for 2026-2028 by 2%-7%, mainly reflecting a 2%-7% upward revision in revenue forecasts, driven by 54% YoY growth in the small molecule CDMO business in the third quarter, a steady recovery in the early-stage testing and biology business supported by improving biotech financing and AIDD demand, as well as a roughly 36% YoY increase in backlog orders to RMB76.7 billion. The broker maintained its Buy rating on APPTEC (603259.SH) A shares and WUXI APPTEC (02359.HK) H shares, and raised the A-share TP from RMB182.5 to RMB185 and the H-share TP from HKD220.5 to HKD225.9. It also prefers the more attractively valued A shares.(ad/da)~
