Hengrui Pharmaceuticals' Development Capabilities Undervalued -- Market Talk

Dow Jones05-15

1009 GMT - Hengrui Pharmaceuticals' research and development and business development capabilities remain undervalued, HSBC researchers say in a note. They highlight the value of Hengrui's recent $15.2 billion deal with Bristol Myer-Squibb exceeded its deal with GSK last year, reflecting broad recognition of Hengrui's R&D capabilities and efficiency. The drugmaker's strong clinical pipeline and efficient drug discovery platform should support a recurring business development model and create additional collaboration opportunities. HSBC maintains its 2026 results forecasts but raises its 2027-2028 revenue and net profit estimates as well as its R&D costs projections. Industry-wise, Chinese drugmakers are likely to continue securing business development deals with multinational pharmaceutical companies despite geopolitical risks, supported by high efficiency, lower R&D costs and improving data transparency. Hengrui's H-shares last closed at HK$65.75. (jason.chau@wsj.com)
