China Healthcare Weekly (Jan.26) – Key Takeaways from the Failure of Henlius Privatization, TCM M&As

By Xinyao (Criss) Wang

  • There have been quite a few M&As in the field of TCM, with a clear trend of SOEs taking over TCM enterprises due to strategically significant and advantageous integration.
  • Whether a drug can be approved does not depend on whether it has entered Phase II/III trials. The areas with clearly unmet medical needs often indicate good investment opportunities.
  • The privatization of Henlius failed. Lin Lijun’s dissenting vote was based on a deliberate decision. We are optimistic about the outlook of Henlius due to its strong fundamentals and internationalization.
