Stock News03-24

BIOCYTOGEN-B (02315) rose more than 12% in Hong Kong trading. At the time of writing, the stock was up 12.14% to HK$54.5, with a turnover of HK$160 million.

The surge follows an announcement on March 23 that BIOCYTOGEN-B has entered into a strategic collaboration agreement with Moonlight Bio, Inc., a Seattle-based biotechnology company focused on advanced cell therapies. The partnership aims to develop a new generation of cell therapies to address various challenging refractory cancers. Under the agreement, BIOCYTOGEN-B will provide fully human antibody molecules for therapeutic targets, while Moonlight Bio will be responsible for preclinical development of the related cell therapies.

Furthermore, BIOCYTOGEN-B previously issued its 2025 performance forecast, anticipating revenue of approximately RMB 1.379 billion, a year-on-year increase of 40.63%. Net profit attributable to owners of the company is expected to reach RMB 173 million, surging 416.37% compared to the previous year. The strong operational performance is attributed to continued expansion in overseas markets and a recovery in the domestic biopharmaceutical industry, leading to rapid revenue growth for the group.
