What matters now
- A high-quality business (quality 75/100), yet the market already pays well above fair value. Quality at a full price, with little margin of safety.
- The model range is unusually wide (HK$120.98 to HK$394.97). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.

Analysis
WuXi AppTec Co (2359) currently trades at HK$197.40, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is HK$157.39, implying the stock looks roughly 20.3% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 75/100 (high quality), in the Healthcare sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).
Over the trailing twelve months, WuXi AppTec Co generated revenue of HK$46.2B at a net margin of 43.6%. Revenue grew 28.8% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 25.7%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of HK$26.9B. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from HK$120.98 (bear case) to HK$394.97 (bull case); at HK$197.40, the current price sits within that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades near its 52-week high and 158% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Healthcare peers we cover trades at -50% fair-value upside, at -20%, 2359 screens cheaper than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
All 26 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth Earnings (HK$259.27) versus Asset-Based (HK$23.15). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
