Movement Alert|Akeso Bio Falls 3.04% in Regular Trading, Post-ASCO Selling Pressure Resumes After Brief Buyback-Driven Rebound

Market Focus06-15

On June 15, Akeso Bio (09926.HK) fell 3.04% in regular trading, trading at HK$89.3/share, with turnover of HK$1.363 billion.

The decline follows the company's board approval of a share repurchase plan of up to HK$200 million, which had briefly lifted sentiment. However, sustained profit-taking by event-driven funds after the ASCO catalyst has resumed dominance over price action. The company's core product ivonescimab (AK112) delivered positive OS results from the HARMONi-6 study at the ASCO plenary session on June 1, but the stock has since declined significantly as institutional investors locked in gains post-data release.

Compounding the pressure, reports of potential US restrictions on investment in China's biotech sector and broader market concerns over innovative drug profitability continue to weigh on sentiment. Despite multiple brokerages including Zhongtai Securities maintaining buy ratings and highlighting the company's path to profitability inflection, fund-flow selling pressure continues to dominate short-term trading dynamics.
