0821 GMT - WuXi Biologics has strong growth visibility and a solid margin profile, HSBC analysts say in a note. They raise their 2026-2027 adjusted net profit forecasts by 4% on likely higher gross margins due to expected rapid increase in high-margin IP-based revenue, increasing capacity utilization and lean operation strategy. HSBC trims its revenue estimates by 1% on headwinds from foreign exchange due to yuan appreciation. HSBC thinks WuXi Biologics's share price, which has been largely flat this year, is undervalued, adding that revenue ramp-up from commercial-stage projects could be a key catalyst. The bank maintains a buy rating but cuts its target price on the stock to HK$44.00 from HK$48.60. Shares closed at HK$31.36. (jason.chau@wsj.com)
