HKBN (1310 HK): Response Doc Out. IFA Says Fair

By David Blennerhassett

  • After a protracted period towards securing the necessary regulatory approvals, this transaction has since accelerated.
  • Just two days after the Offer Doc was issued, the Response Doc has now been dispatched.
  • The IFA (Somerley) says China Mobile (941 HK)‘s terms are fair & reasonable. The First Close is the 3rd September. Expect the Offer to turn unconditional before that date. 

China Healthcare Weekly (Aug.10)-Trump Plans Drug Tariff, Biosimilar VBP, BeiGene’s Headwind in 25Q2

By Xinyao (Criss) Wang

  • Trump threatened to levy tariffs on pharmaceuticals, but the BD model of Chinese innovative drugs will be less affected, because the essence is licensing-out model, not physical drug exports.
  • The long-awaited national VBP of biosimilar drugs has moved from policy incubation period to substantive operation stage, which is expected to change the market structure after big price reduction.
  • BeiGene’s 25Q2 results beat expectations. Reasonable market value is about US$40-42.4 billion. However, the market is reluctant to offer higher valuation due to the concerns on the outlook of BeiGene.
