Shanghai Junshi Biosciences  / Equity Bottom-Up

Last month, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/shanghai-junshi-bioscience-a" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:31070:1" rel="noopener">Shanghai Junshi Bioscience (688180 CH)</a> released the performance announcement in 2020. Junshi is expected to achieve the revenue in 2020 of RMB1.595 billion, up 105.77% YoY. The Company's net loss attributed to shareholders could reach RMB1.672 billion, up 123.8% YoY. Meanwhile, the R&amp;D expenses are expected to reach RMB1.824 billion in 2020, up 92.79% YoY, which even exceeded the total revenue in 2020. It is also worth mentioning that the moment of glory of Junshi seems to be when it was listed on the SSE STAR Market in July 2020, with the market value of about RMB150 billion, and then its share price went all the way down to hit the bottom in December 2020 at RMB 64.8/share. On March 19, 2021, Junshi’s market value was RMB79 billion, down about 50% since July 2020. So could Junshi turn things around?

Bio-Thera Solutions Ltd / Equity Bottom-Up

In the first quarter of 2021, following the failure of the BAT8001 phase III clinical trial, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/bio-thera-solutions-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:29127:1" rel="noopener">Bio-Thera Solutions Ltd (688177 CH)</a> announced the suspension of R&amp;D of two other projects in the pipeline, BAT8003 and BAT1306.

In the financial reports of 2020, the revenue was RMB185 million and Qletli contributed about RMB183 million, almost the entire revenue of the Company. Meanwhile, the net loss in 2020 was RMB513 million, and the Company has been suffering from losses for five consecutive years.
