The increase follows the company's recent release of its 2025 performance forecast.

It also forecasts net profit attributable to shareholders to be in the range of RMB 162 million to RMB 182 million, a significant surge of 384.26% to 443.88% compared to the previous year.
Analysis suggests the strong performance is driven by BIOCYTOGEN-B's innovative advantages in model animal and preclinical CRO services, supported by its antibody platform under the "Thousand Mice Ten Thousand Antibodies" initiative. It was noted that since the beginning of 2025, the company has entered into out-licensing agreements with several leading domestic and international pharmaceutical firms. Furthermore, multiple drug pipelines have received IND approvals. As these licensed pipelines advance, the company is expected to generate additional revenue from milestone payments, potentially unlocking further long-term growth.
