Oct 20

0804 GMT - Hansoh Pharmaceutical Group's new out-licensing deal with Roche could help to unlock the commercial potential of its anti-body drug conjugate, says Nomura's Jialin Zhang in a note. The deal, in which Hansoh Pharmaceutical will receive US$80 million up front, is likely to contribute up to 10% of Nomura's projected 2025 earnings estimates for the Chinese healthcare company, says Zhang. The agreement with Roche also endorses Hansoh's research and development capability, Nomura says, noting that this could contribute to making Hansoh's drug commercially-viable. Nomura raises its estimated 2026 revenue and earnings for Hansoh by 3.2% and 3.8%, respectively. The bank lifts its target price to HK$35.50 from HK$35.47 while maintaining its neutral rating on Hansoh. Shares fall 0.2% to HK$36.34. (megan.cheah@wsj.com)
