Market Focus09-24

On September 24, INSILICO fell 5.03% in regular trading, trading at 55.85 HKD/share, with turnover of HKD 650 million, extending the prior session's decline.

On the news front, the company recently issued new shares, passively diluting Chairman Aleksandrs Zavoronkovs' stake from 8.02% to 7.99%, with his holding volume unchanged at approximately 46.757 million shares. The equity expansion raised market concerns over shareholder dilution. Meanwhile, the broader Life Sciences Tools and Services sector came under significant selling pressure, with GENSCRIPT BIO down 6.37%, XTALPI down 3.58%, WUXI BIO down 2.27%, WUXI XDC down 1.43%, and WUXI APPTEC down 1.35%, dragging on sentiment across the board.

It is worth noting that INSILICO had previously announced a collaboration with an AI lab valued at up to tens of millions of USD and saw its core drug Rentosertib enter Phase III trials. JPMorgan maintained an Overweight rating with a target price of 71 HKD, while Citi maintained a Buy rating with a target of 85 HKD.
