1019 GMT - Hengrui Pharmaceuticals' diversified innovative pipeline is undervalued, Citi analysts say in a note. The drugmaker's innovative drug sales rose 26% on year in 1Q, and innovative products accounted for a larger proportion of total sales. Management said hospital access accelerated in March, which Citi views as a solid foundation for sales growth in 2026, while new product approvals this year could provide additional upside. Coming clinical data readouts should also drive a re-rating, it adds. Citi maintains its buy rating, with target prices of 123.00 yuan for A shares and HK$134.00 for H shares. The bank also names Hengrui as its top pick in China's pharmaceutical sector. A shares closed at 56.40 yuan, while H shares ended at HK$68.70. (jason.chau@wsj.com)
