Sumitomo Pharma (4506 JP) still expects FY24 revenue of ¥362 billion (down 35% YoY). This implies H2FY24 revenue of ¥209.4 billion, up 37% compared with H1FY24.
To achieve this target, North America needs to perform strongly. H1FY24 revenue from North America has shown a progress rate of just 35% against full-year FY24 revenue guidance.
With the absence of any strong catalyst, we expect recent rally in Sumitomo shares fueled by encouraging clinical trial result and new drug approval in China, will be short-lived.
