Market Focus
May 29

On May 29, Ascentage Pharma rose 6.35% in regular trading, trading at 39.96 HKD/share, with trading volume of approximately 43.18 million HKD.

The rally was driven by a dual catalyst. The company received approval from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange to remove the B marker from its stock code effective June 1, after meeting the market capitalization and revenue requirements under Listing Rule 8.05. The milestone was underpinned by its core products Nerlynx (olverembatinib) and lisaftoclax generating over 500 million HKD in revenue. Historically, 18A companies that achieved B-marker removal have seen meaningful valuation re-rating.

Simultaneously, the ASCO Annual Meeting officially opened on May 29, with six of the company's clinical studies selected for presentation, including three rapid oral reports covering olverembatinib, lisaftoclax, and alrizomadlin. Financial results for the prior year showed revenue of 574 million RMB, with market capitalization exceeding 10 billion HKD.

Within the Biotechnology sector, broad strength was evident. Among individual stocks, Innovent Biologics up 10.29%, Akeso up 7.25%, 3SBio up 4.99%, RemeGen up 3.23%, BeiGene up 1.54%.
