Its asset-light, service-based model generates high returns on capital, and pharmaceutical clients face significant switching costs. However, it lacks a direct, powerful macro *inflection point* that the market has significantly underpriced from the current geopolitical and energy security events, making it a less asymmetric opportunity than those with more direct macro tailwinds.
