Shares of Junshi Biosciences surged 5.39% in intraday trading on Friday, outperforming the broader market. The stock's rally came after the company's key cancer drug toripalimab injection was successfully included in Category B of China's national drug list for basic medical insurance.
Toripalimab is Junshi's leading immuno-oncology drug, and its inclusion in the national insurance list is seen as a significant milestone for the company. This move will make the drug more affordable and accessible to a broader patient population in China, potentially boosting sales and revenue for Junshi.
The addition of toripalimab to the national insurance list underscores the drug's clinical value and the recognition of Junshi's innovative capabilities in the biopharmaceutical industry. As a result, investors have become more optimistic about the company's growth prospects, driving the stock's impressive rally on Friday.
