On August 31, INNOVENT BIO fell 3.16% in regular trading, trading at 103.1 HKD/share, with turnover of HKD 227 million. The stock has retreated sharply from its all-time high of 112.2 HKD set on August 26, when shares surged 9.69% following a strong interim earnings release.
The company reported H1 results on August 25, with total revenue of RMB 8.618 billion, up 44.8% year-over-year, and net profit of RMB 1.253 billion, up 50.2%, with half-year profit already surpassing the full-year level of the prior year. Product revenue reached RMB 8.2 billion, up 56.7%. Multiple brokerages subsequently raised price targets, including Daiwa to 135 HKD, Morgan Stanley to 138.5 HKD, CLSA to 146.1 HKD, and Jefferies and Nomura both to 125 HKD, all maintaining buy-equivalent ratings.
Despite the favorable fundamental backdrop, the stock has faced sustained profit-taking pressure since its post-earnings peak. The broader biotechnology sector also weakened materially on the same day, with CanSinoBIO down 6.36%, Akeso down 4.72%, BeiOne Medicines down 4.81%, 3SBio down 3.30%, and Everest Medicines down 3.23%, amplifying selling pressure across the sector.
