Alnylam Pharmaceuticals: Progress of the HELIOS-B Study & 4 Other Major Drivers

By Baptista Research

  • The company recorded $1.24 billion in global net product revenues.
  • Alnylam also extended its leadership in RNAi therapeutics, including pioneering delivery of RNAi therapeutics to adipose and muscle tissues.

China Healthcare Weekly (Feb.23)- TCM Ushers in a Harvest Period, Biotech Bottom-Line, Kelun-Biotech

By Xinyao (Criss) Wang

  • Thanks to the continuous support of policies, the TCM industry has ushered in a harvest period. So, TCM remains to be a relatively certain field for investment in China healthcare. 
  • Biotech companies must meet several conditions in order to have good long-term development, such as sufficient financial support, at least one blockbuster product and high moral standard of the management.
  • Reasonable valuation of Sichuan Kelun-Biotech Biopharm (6990 HK) is about RMB15 billion. So, we think it is now overvalued. Meanwhile, restricted shares will be lifted 12 months after the IPO.

Avantor Inc: Is The Growth in the Aerospace and Defense Market Changing The Game? – Major Drivers

By Baptista Research

  • Avantor delivered fourth quarter business results at the high end of their guidance across key financial metrics, including a core organic revenue decline of 4.8%, adjusted EBITDA margin of 17.5% and adjusted EPS of $0.25.
  • They demonstrated robust cash flow management and considerable debt reduction, exceeding their guidance range.
  • The company experienced industry wide headwinds due to inventory destocking and cautious customer spending.
