On August 13, ZAI LAB rose 5.03% in regular trading, trading at HKD 20.6/share, with turnover of HKD 175 million.

On the news front, RTW Fund Group GP, LLC purchased 9.4745 million shares of ZAI LAB on August 11 at an average price of USD 26.05 per share, totaling approximately USD 247 million. Following the acquisition, RTW's stake increased from 5.97% to 6.75%, representing a significant vote of confidence from the institutional investor.

The move comes on the heels of ZAI LAB's Q2 earnings released on August 6, which showed product revenue of USD 105.8 million, up 11% quarter-over-quarter and exceeding market expectations by approximately USD 2.5 million, driven by stable performance of Zejula and continued sales growth of Efgartigimod.

The company's core pipeline asset Zoci received European Medicines Agency orphan drug designation, with upcoming ESMO clinical data expected to serve as a further catalyst. Post-earnings, the stock has cumulatively risen over 30%.
