Movement Alert|Akeso Inc Falls 3.1% in Regular Trading, Biotech Sector Extends Post-ASCO Pullback as Profit-Taking Continues

Market Focus06-03 09:59

On June 3, Akeso Inc (09926.HK) fell 3.1% in regular trading, trading at 102.0 HKD/share, with trading volume of HKD 502 million. The decline marks the third consecutive session of weakness following the companys ASCO catalyst event.

The selloff reflects continued profit-taking after the companys core product ivonescimab (PD-1/VEGF bispecific antibody) delivered positive OS data at the ASCO Plenary Session on June 1, where HARMONi-6 showed a 34% reduction in death risk for first-line squamous NSCLC patients. On that day, shares surged over 10% intraday before reversing to close down 1.86% on record turnover of HKD 7.04 billion, followed by a further 4.49% decline on June 2 amid large block selling. Market analysis attributes the ongoing weakness to event-driven funds exiting after data disclosure, compounded by reports of potential US restrictions on Chinese biotech investment dampening short-term sentiment.

Within the Biotechnology sector, peers also declined broadly: Innovent Bio down 3.11%, BeiGene down 2.55%, 3SBio down 3.56%, Everest Medicines down 3.03%, and RemeGen down 4.04%.
