On October 15, DUALITYBIO-B fell 5.14% in Regular Trading, trading at HK$157.0, with turnover of HK$94.99 million.
The latest publicly available catalyst points to continued pressure from the company’s planned STAR Market IPO and related fundraising scrutiny, which appears to be outweighing support from its latest share buyback.
Background shows the company disclosed on October 14 that it repurchased 21,000 shares at HK$164.20 to HK$167.00 per share for about HK$3.48 million, with the shares to be held in treasury. However, market focus has shifted to its proposed roughly RMB4.1 billion STAR Market fundraising, despite cash of about RMB3.006 billion as of June 30. The company also reported first-half revenue of RMB219 million, adjusted net loss of RMB627 million, operating cash outflow of RMB424 million, while recent option exercises added new shares, limiting the buyback’s sentiment support.
