0600 GMT - HSBC cuts earnings forecasts for Jiangsu Hengrui Medicine for 2025-2027 by 2%-5%, weighed by lower sales and higher costs. Product sales for 2025-2027 are seen weaker due to intensive domestic competition, while selling and administrative expenses are seen rising to support new drug launches. However, HSBC keeps revenue estimates for the same period unchanged, with higher business development revenue from strong product pipeline offsetting weaker product sales. HSBC lowers the stock's target price to CNY77.00 from CNY79.00 but maintains a buy rating as it remains optimistic on Hengrui's long-term growth outlook. The A-shares were last at CNY63.63.
