Movement Alert|Akeso Falls 3.43% in Regular Trading, Post-ASCO Profit-Taking Persists as Biotech Sector Weakens Again

Market Focus06-25

On June 25, Akeso (09926.HK) fell 3.43% in regular trading, trading at HK$84.25/share, with turnover of HK$188 million. The stock is approaching its previous 52-week low zone.

On the news front, the company continues to face sustained selling pressure following the release of positive ivonescimab HARMONi-6 overall survival data at ASCO. The stock has now declined over 30% from its post-data high, as investors lock in profits. Despite the board approving a buyback plan of up to HK$200 million and management announcing plans to purchase up to HK$50 million in shares, near-term selling pressure remains unabsorbed.

The broader biotech sector also weighed on sentiment, with Carsgen Therapeutics down 5.82%, Remegen down 2.69%, and Innovent Biologics down 2.12% during the same session. Multiple brokerages including CITIC Securities and Industrial Securities have recently maintained Buy or Overweight ratings, citing the milestone significance of the OS data and projecting over $15 billion in ivonescimab revenue potential by 2033, yet market sentiment has yet to stabilize decisively.
