SK Innovation – Why It Hasn’t Worked

By Ken S. Kim

  • Has SK Innovation raised enough money for its longer term ambitions? 
  • What is the stock pricing in that is not apparent on the balance sheet? 
  • It seems really given their capex outlet, dilutive cap raising is the only solution

China Healthcare Weekly (Oct.6) – Weight Loss Drug CXO, Policy-Guided Capital Flows, 3D Medicines

By Xinyao (Criss) Wang

  • Weight loss drug business has indeed significantly alleviated concerns about overcapacity issue in those leading CDMOs, but they do not have such a strong driving force on CROs.
  • The last straw that hits an industry is often not due to the disappearance of demographic dividends/declining demand/poor financial performance of companies, etc., but rather to policy-guided capital flows.
  • 3D Medicines (1244 HK) can be said a typical negative example in biopharmaceutical industry, and it is easy to be “manipulated”. We recommend investors stay away from such high-risk company.
