全球医药研发投入持续增长,外包率不断提升
创新药物研发具有高投入、长周期、高风险等行业特点。在研发回报率较低与专利悬崖的双重压力下,大型制药企业有望更多地通过外部研发服务机构推进研发项目,提高研发效率并降低研发成本;而小型制药公司因没有足够时间或资本自行建设其研发项目所需的实验室和生产设施,因而会寻求研发和生产的外包服务,尤其是“一体化、端到端”的研发服务。
根据2024年7月最新的Frost&Sullivan报告预测,全球医药行业研发投入将由2023年的2,606亿美元增长至2028年的3,592亿美元,复合年增长率约6.6%;全球医药研发投入外包比例将由2023年的49.2%提升至2028年的58.2%;全球医药研发外包服务的市场(不包括大分子CDMO)规模将由2023年的1,369亿美元增长到2028年的2,388亿美元,复合年增长率11.8%。全球医药研发服务行业,尤其是具有全球新药研发生产服务能力的平台型公司,有望受益于全球新药研发投入的持续增长和外包率的不断提升。
投资建议:
我们预计公司2025-2027年EPS分别为3.64元、4.09元和4.64元,对应的动态市盈率分别为19.16倍、17.04倍和15.03倍。公司作为行业中极少数在新药研发全产业链均具备服务能力的开放式新药研发服务平台,通过“跟随药物分子发展”战略不断扩大服务。公司的服务能力和规模在行业处于领先地位,并拥有庞大、多样且富有粘性的客户群,在覆盖所有全球前20大制药企业的同时,持续实施“长尾”客户战略。随着公司不断提高生产经营效率,加速推进全球产能和能力建设,有望受益于全球新药研发投入的持续增长和外包率的不断提升,实现高于行业水平的增长,维持买入评级。
