SBP GROUP (01177) shares plummeted 5.35% during intraday trading on Thursday, reflecting a sharp sell-off amid a broader downturn in the pharmaceutical sector.
The decline came as the entire pharmaceutical sector faced heavy selling pressure, with peers such as CSPC Pharma, ASYMCHEM, HANSOH Pharma, and HENGRUI Pharma also trading lower. Additionally, Nomura recently trimmed its target price for SBP GROUP from HK$8.67 to HK$8.26, which may have contributed to the negative sentiment, although the consensus analyst mean target remains well above current levels.
Despite recent positive developments, including a joint venture with Indonesia's Tempo Scan and clinical trial approval for a hepatitis B drug, the stock succumbed to the sector-wide headwinds.
