Market Focus09-24

On September 24, IMPACT THERAP-B fell 8.05% in regular trading, trading at HK$13.94 per share, with turnover of approximately HK$38.79 million. The decline came after a period of sharp gains driven by positive regulatory news.

The stock had surged over 27% on September 21 — with intraday gains reaching as high as 58% to HK$20.56 — after the company and its partner Pharmanovia announced that the European Medicines Agency's Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) issued a positive opinion recommending marketing authorization for Sepalna (senaparib) as a maintenance treatment for advanced epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, and primary peritoneal cancers. Following the rapid rally, profit-taking pressure intensified significantly.

Simultaneously, the broader biotechnology sector came under selling pressure, with peers including REMEGEN down 5.71%, 3SBIO down 3.76%, AKESO down 3.64%, INNOVENT BIO down 3.63%, and BEONE MEDICINES down 1.56%, creating a drag on individual names across the sector.
