Equity Bottom-Up

In August, 2021, after <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/remegen-co-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:29191:1" rel="noopener">Remegen Co Ltd (9995 HK)</a> announced that the Company and Seagen Inc. had entered into an exclusive worldwide licensing agreement to develop and commercialize disitamab vedotin (RC48), the share price of RemeGen rose to HK$145.50/share, its second-highest ever. Meanwhile, in June, RemeGen submitted a prospectus to the SSE STAR Market, which was its second IPO application after its listing on the HKEX in November 2020. In September, RemeGen completed its reply to the first round enquiry by Shanghai Stock Exchange. Although RemeGen always seems to inadvertently bring "stimulation" to the market, from this enquiry and the business analysis, we could still find some concerns that worth investors’ attention.
