According to a research report released by CLSA, the first-half performance of 3SBIO (01530) has benefited from milestone revenue related to its 707 program and robust growth in its CDMO business, which together offset the impact of weaker sales from core products. Although near-term revenue growth remains subdued, the launch of a new product cycle and further progress in the global development of the 707 program are expected to support medium-term growth. The firm has maintained its "Outperform" rating while trimming the target price to HK$30.4 from HK$32.6. The company currently holds over RMB 18.6 billion in cash; excluding this cash, the stock is trading at a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 7.4 times for the next year.
