WuXi AppTec (CNE100003F19) is heading into its third-quarter reporting date with UBS having lifted its target from HKD 237.40 to HKD 243.90 on October 23, 2026. The research view keeps attention on TIDES growth, backlog momentum and the company's raised full-year revenue outlook, as reported by Gelonghui.

UBS lifts target to HKD 243.90

UBS raised the target from HKD 237.40 to HKD 243.90 and kept a Buy rating, according to Gelonghui. The report said full-year TIDES revenue guidance was 45 percent, compared with 44.3 percent in the first half, while the full-year revenue guidance ceiling rose from RMB 53 billion to RMB 60.5 billion.

The counter-factor is currency exposure. The same report cited a 6.2 percent year-over-year appreciation of the renminbi against the US dollar as a potential translation risk for reported results.

What does first-half growth mean?

WuXi AppTec's first-half 2026 revenue reached CNY 28.9 billion, up 39 percent year over year, while net profit rose 34 percent, according to Moomoo. That combination gives the October results a clear test: whether higher-value projects and the CRDMO model can sustain the first-half pace.

Three dates frame the next move

On August 3, 2026, Moomoo listed first-half revenue of CNY 28.9 billion. On October 12, 2026, WuXi AppTec announced a board meeting to consider third-quarter results for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, according to Futubull. On October 23, 2026, UBS set the HKD 243.90 target reported by Gelonghui.

Two dates matter for results

The board meeting is scheduled for October 26, 2026, to consider and approve the third-quarter results, according to Futubull. A separate estimate from finanzen.net places the quarterly release on October 27, 2026 and gives consensus revenue of HKD 18.10 billion, up 37.55 percent from HKD 13.16 billion.
