Explaining the Unusual Flow Situation of Osstem Implant

By Sanghyun Park

  • From August 26 to September 2, the net buying of investors classified as “Other Corporation” was substantial at 500K shares or 3.5% of SO, which amounted to about ₩60B.
  • It seems almost sure that the KCGI has made a move. As a result, the possibility that the Hanjin Kal event will be repeated is also relatively high.
  • The first inflection point would be when the KCGI passes the 5% stake and makes a regulatory filing. We will see a pretty intense momentum trading on proxy battle expectations.

SK Bioscience (302440 KS): Murky Outlook On Weak Vaccine Demand And Flooding Supply

By Tina Banerjee

  • SK Bioscience (302440 KS) received approval for Korea’s first locally-developed COVID-19 vaccine, SKYCovione. The company is seeking European approval and plans to apply for emergency use listing to the WHO.
  • The company is a late entrant in the overcrowded domestic vaccine market. Currently, six vaccines are approved for use in South Korea. Moreover, demand outlook is uncertain beyond 2022.
  • Recently, the company has dropped a multinational phase 3 trial of P2-VP8, trivalent rotavirus vaccine. Among the non-COVID pipeline, P2-VP8 was in the most advanced stage of clinical trial.

YSB Inc Pre-IPO – The Positives – Evolving Business Model Coupled with Growth.

By Clarence Chu

  • YSB Inc (YSB HK) is looking to raise about US$500m in its upcoming Hong Kong IPO.  
  • YSB Inc. (YSB) operates a pharmaceutical platform, digitizing the pharmaceutical transaction and service segment.
  • Throughout its history, YSB has been evolving its business model and has been growing its user base rapidly as well, thereby leading to GMV growth and in turn, sales growth.

Sirnaomics (2257.HK)-Unverified Technology and Uncertainties Can Lead to Big Swings in Share Price

By Xinyao (Criss) Wang

  • The current two mainstream delivery platforms such as LNP delivery platform and GalNAc RNAi platform have been verified and recognized, with products using these platforms successfully launched on the market.
  • Sirnaomics has developed its own differentiated delivery platforms, but the druggability has never been verified in trials, like a blind box. They will not be valuable until they are proven.
  • Sirnaomics has cashflow pressure and is uncertain if it can survive “this winter”. It’s also difficult for Sirnaomics to find suitable valuation anchor in HKEX. Share price may fluctuate largely.
