On June 1, CARsgen Therapeutics-B declined 5.02% in regular trading, trading at HK$17.23/share, with trading volume of HK$52.98 million.
The decline was primarily driven by the ongoing dilutive impact of a recently completed discounted share placement and continued institutional selling. The company completed a top-up placement of 23.7 million shares at HK$19.84 per share on May 19, raising net proceeds of approximately HK$4.62 billion. Post-placement, total issued shares increased to approximately 595 million. Of the proceeds, 70% will fund global clinical development of innovative drugs, 15% for R&D and production facilities, and 15% for working capital.
Within the Biotechnology sector, performance remained divergent. Among peers, AKESO rose 2.71%, 3SBIO gained 0.54%, while INNOVENT BIO fell 2.52%, BEIGENE declined 2.66%, and SKB BIO dropped 3.16%, reflecting broader sector valuation pressure that further weighed on individual stocks.
