Boryung Pharmaceutical (003850 KS): Prescription Drugs Took a Breather in Q3; Poised to Rebound
- In 3Q23, Boryung Pharmaceutical (003850 KS) reported 15% YoY growth in revenue to KRW208B, driven by 7% YoY growth in prescription drugs, the slowest growth in the last three years.
- Prescription drug revenue growth slowed due to the huge shortfall in revenue from the diabetes drug Trulicity caused by supply shortage. We expect slowdown in Trulicity revenue is temporary.
