JOINN (06127) rose more than 4% during trading, and as of the latest update, the stock was up 1.85% at HK$22.08, with a turnover of HK$56.8494 million. A research report from Changjiang Securities indicated that the safety assessment industry may be entering a phase of simultaneous growth in both volume and price. From a volume perspective, improved financing conditions for innovative drug companies and the emergence of outbound business development activities have increased willingness to invest in R&D, driving the innovative drug supply chain into a new cycle of prosperity. On the price front, the supply of laboratory monkeys continues to decline while demand stabilizes and recovers, potentially widening the supply-demand gap and pushing up monkey prices. This benefits safety assessment businesses that heavily rely on laboratory monkey resources. JOINN is a leading non-clinical safety evaluation CRO in China.
