On June 29, CARsgen Therapeutics-B rose 6.31% in regular trading, trading at HK$13.85/share, with turnover of approximately HK$35.5 million. The rebound was supported by the company's recently announced share buyback plan and a broader biotech sector rally.
On June 26, the board approved a share repurchase plan to buy back up to approximately 30.12 million shares on the open market, representing about 5% of issued shares as of May 31. The funding source is non-IPO proceeds including business development income and interest income. The buyback came after the stock had declined over 20% across four consecutive trading sessions following the June 22 approval of its globally-first solid tumor CAR-T therapy product for late-stage gastric cancer, priced at RMB 990,000 per dose.
The broader biotech sector rallied on the same day, with AKESO up 8.04%, 3SBIO up 6.66%, and INNOVENT BIO up 5.39%, creating a favorable sector linkage effect that further supported the stock's rebound from recent lows.
