SciClone Pharma (6600 HK): Scheme Vote on 19 June
- Sciclone Pharmaceuticals (6600 HK)‘s scheme document is out, and the court meeting is scheduled for 19 June. The IFA considers the HK$18.80 per share offer fair and reasonable.
- The key condition is approval by at least 75% of disinterested shareholders (<10% of all disinterested shareholders rejection). No independent shareholder holds a blocking stake.
- This is a done deal. At the last close and for the 12 July payment, the gross and annualised spread is 2.2% and 17.3%, respectively.
Exact Sciences Corporation: Leveraging Health Systems and Electronic Ordering Channels To Catalyze Growth! – Major Drivers
- Exact Sciences Corporation’s first quarter 2024 earnings. The quarter demonstrated robust performance with first quarter revenue growing by 6% to $638 million. Particularly noteworthy was the 7% increase in screening revenue to $475 million, which is attributed to the company’s successful optimization of billing and patient compliance systems. However, Exact Sciences faces a tough comparison base, as its growth in the previous year was buoyed by enhancements to billing and patient compliance systems and a weak flu season. The expansion of Precision Oncology revenue by 5% to $163 million also contributed to the company’s growth. Baptista Research looks to evaluate the different factors that could influence the company’s price in the near future and attempts to carry out an independent valuation of the company using a Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) methodology. In this report, we have carried out a fundamental analysis of the historical financial statements of the company. We have added reasonable forecasts of the annualized income statement and cash flows and carried out a DCF valuation of the company using its Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) to determine a forecasted share price. We have further incorporated a sensitivity analysis/ scenario analysis to understand how changes in key assumptions could impact the valuation under 3 scenarios – a base case, a bull case, and a bear case. These additional layers of analysis serve to provide a comprehensive and robust valuation, giving investors a nuanced understanding of the inherent risks and opportunities.
Insulet Corporation: Will Its Innovative Edge In The Insulin Pump Market Last? – Major Drivers
- Insulet Corporation reported an excellent first quarter of 2024 that has exceeded expectations. The demand for Omnipod 5 continues to rise, the leading insulin delivery system, fueling a robust revenue growth. Performance-wise, the company achieved an overall Omnipod revenue growth of 21%, including a US growth of 23% and an international growth of 15%.
- The Omnipod 5 has brought significant success to Insulet in both the US and international markets, thanks to its simplicity and affordability. This offering has assisted in driving market growth, as demonstrated by the fact that during the quarter, approximately 85% of new starts came from people previously utilizing multiple daily injections. This pattern of new starts is encouraging because these new starters originated from Insulet’s target market.

Mettler-Toledo International: Improvement In Chinese Market Conditions A Big Sigh Of Relief? – Major Drivers
- Mettler-Toledo International reported Q1 2021 earnings results that exceeded expectations due to superior execution across most product categories and geographies. The firm successfully recovered from delayed product shipments experienced in Q4 2020, shipping nearly all of their delayed orders earlier than anticipated. Quarter sales for Mettler-Toledo International were $926 million, largely unchanged from prior year levels in both USD and local currencies, positively impacted by approximately 6% from recovering nearly all of their previously disclosed delayed product shipments.
