<li>At current valuation level, leading biotech listed in Hong Kong have generally “overdrawn” their performance for the next 1 to 3 years. So, it is time to consider taking profits.</li>
<li>TransThera’s shares have been highly volatile following their inclusion in several innovative-drug ETFs. We analyzed the drivers behind this move. With valuation now diverging from fundamentals, we advise caution.</li>
<li>The fluctuations of Duality’s shares were driven by the inclusion of HSCI. However, some funds chose to take profits at high stock prices, thus Duality is under pressure of correction.</li>

<li>GenFleet’s R&amp;D strategy is to layout around the RAS signaling pathway to construct a "RAS therapy matrix" covering multiple RAS mutation types.However, there’re barriers to the development of RAS-targeted therapies.</li>
<li>The factors that suppress valuation include intense competition and potential patent risks. GenFleet’s independent commercialization capability has not been verified. So, a valuation of RMB3-4 billion is a reasonable range.</li>
<li>Considering the sustained popularity of innovative drug IPOs in the Hong Kong stock market, post-IPO valuation of GenFleet depends more on market sentiment, not fundamentals.  </li>
