Pre-IPO Kelun Biotech – Debut Is the Peak, and Then It Wanes?

By Xinyao (Criss) Wang

Kelun-Biotech did not get widespread attention until it reached three license and collaboration agreements with Merck, with upfront and milestone payments totaling up to US$11.8 billion.
The remaining products have limited investment value. After Kelun-Biotech out-licensed all of its valuable core assets in pipeline, it could mainly remain at the stage of biotech in the future.
The original core R&D team members have left, which means the “root of Kelun-Biotech is broken”. The lack of sustainable follow-up R&D capability would have negative impact on valuation performance.
