Market Focus07-20

On July 20, Innovent Biologics rose 3.04% in regular trading, trading at 92.8 HKD/share, with turnover of HKD 244 million. The move was driven by a combination of a major licensing deal and a broad biotech sector rebound.

On the news front, the company recently announced an exclusive licensing agreement granting ex-Greater China rights to IBI355, a third-generation anti-CD40L antibody, to Spero Therapeutics in a deal worth up to USD 1.1 billion. CLSA subsequently raised its target price to HKD 139.9 and maintained an Outperform rating, noting the deal further validates the companys R&D capabilities. Nomura raised its target to HKD 123.17 maintaining a Buy rating, while Bank of America also lifted its target to HKD 119.2 citing active licensing transactions driving sector re-rating.

The broader biotech sector rallied collectively following a prior pullback, with Remegen up 7.67%, SKB Bio up 6.29%, Akeso up 4.47%, BeiGene up 4.15%, and 3SBio up 4.15%, reflecting broad capital inflows into the sector.
