Boryung Pharmaceutical (003850 KS): Oncology Portfolio Expansion to Accelerate Growth Momentum

By Tina Banerjee

  • Boryung Pharmaceutical (003850 KS) is expanding its oncology portfolio mainly through in-licensing and co-promotion agreement and aims to achieve revenue of KRW217 billion from oncology segment in 2026.
  • This month, Boryung received approval for in-licensed drug Zepzelca (lurbinectedin), indicated for the treatment of small-cell lung cancer in Korea. The drug has demonstrated high adoption rate in the U.S.
  • This year, Boryung launched two in-licensed neutropenia drugs and one generic drug for breast cancer. The company plans to launch 18 oncology drugs during 2022–2026, including 10 first generics.

Medikaloka Hermina (HEAL IJ) – Forging Ahead Beyond COVID

By Angus Mackintosh

  • Medikaloka Hermina (HEAL IJ) is unique in Indonesia for its focus on women and children, which makes it a resilient performer plus more than half its patients are JKN related.
  • The company booked a strong set of 1H2022 results despite coming off a high COVID base, with Inpatient and outpatient numbers already above pre-pandemic levels. 
  • Astra International now owns over 7% of the company in its first hospital investment and we could see this stake rising further. Valuations are attractive versus Mitra Keluarga.
