- Our base case valuation is target price of 1,514 INR which is 33% higher than the high end of the IPO price range.

- ImmuneOnco Biopharmaceuticals (Shanghai) (IOB HK) announced the placement of 24.2M shares for subscription at HK$14.5 per share.
- The company intends to use most of the net proceeds for further research and development of drug candidates IMM01, IMM2510 and IMM27M.
- The current market price of the stock makes the placement offer unattractive. Concerns remain with no drugs commercialized yet and the only possible commercialization expected to happen not before 2027.
