[ET Net News Agency, 6 January 2021] Daiwa Research lifted its target price for Wuxi
Biologics Cayman (02269) to HK$118 from HK$100 and maintained its "buy" rating.
The research house said cited WuXi in Daiwa PURE Energy and Healthcare Virtual
Conference on 5 January saying that the newly-acquired facilities from Bayer are expected
to contribute annual revenue of CNY500-800m.
Wuxi now owns full manufacturing facilities for both drug substance (DS) and drug
product (DP) in Europe and will be better prepared to meet the demand for COVID-19-related
vaccines and neutralising antibodies with an estimated total backlog of US$1bn, Daiwa
believes.
Daiwa raised its 2021 revenue by 5.4% and 2022 revenue by 8.8%. (KL)
