On June 22, Akeso Inc (09926.HK) fell 3.88% in regular trading, trading at HK$82.45/share with turnover of HK$169 million, approaching its 52-week low of HK$82.85.
The decline reflects continued profit-taking following the company's core product Ivonescimab (HARMONi-6) Phase III overall survival positive data presented at the ASCO plenary session on June 1. Event-driven funds have been persistently unwinding positions, with the stock now down over 30% from its post-data high. The board's previously announced HK$200 million buyback plan and management's proposed HK$50 million personal stake increase have failed to effectively reverse the downtrend.
Adding further pressure, market concerns over potential US restrictions on China biotech investment and doubts about innovative drug profitability weighed on the broader sector. Within the Biotechnology sector, INNOVENT BIO fell 4.79%, REMEGEN fell 4.60%, 3SBIO fell 4.31%, BEIGENE fell 3.36%, and SKB BIO fell 6.88%.
