Pre-IPO Shandong Boan Biotechnology – Conservative About the Outlook

By Xinyao (Criss) Wang

  • Without the advantages in product efficacy, production capacity, clinical progress and speed of approval, Boan’s products have lost their pricing power in both China and overseas markets.
  • Due to the lack of differentiation and frontier enough target layout, the product commercialization potential is bound to be more easily questioned, with limited value in the long term.
  • Even if Boan could go public successfully, investors may not be able to achieve the expected returns because of the unfriendly market sentiment and a lack of liquidity in HKEX.
