Shanghai Junshi Bioscience Placement- Junshi Is Having a Hard Time, with Lower than Expected Returns

By Xinyao (Criss) Wang

  • Junshi’s fatal flaw is not that it is still suffering loss, or that its founders have no medical background, but that the Company is very short of money.
  • Considering the gloomy prospects of etesevimab/VV116, uncertainties in toripalimab and other late-stage candidates, we remain conservative about Junshi’s commercialization outlook. Junshi’s higher valuation than Innovent is not justified.
  • Together with unfriendly macro environment, we don’t think heavy investment in R&D/MRCT/commercial development could bring high return as expected.Investors need to be rational about Junshi’s RMB4 billion private placement plan.
