China Healthcare Weekly (Oct.20)-Investment Returns on Weight Loss/AD,GLP-1 Gene Therapy,AIM Vaccine
- Weight loss and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) have been ranked among the top indications in the pharmaceutical history and are undeniable opportunities, but they are expected to generate different investment returns.
- We have noticed that some companies have started developing GLP-1 gene therapy. We would be cautious about this.
- Without strong fundamentals but is eager to go public on A-share market, AIM Vaccine (6660 HK) seems more enthusiastic about capital operations to make quick money.We consider this company risky.
ECM Weekly (22nd Oct 2023) – J&T, Cuscal, Liontown, Cainiao, ZJLD, Taiwan Cement, Zomato, Hana Micro
- Aequitas Research puts out a weekly update on the deals that were covered by the team recently along with updates for upcoming IPOs.
- J&T Global Express (1519 HK) launched its US$500m HK IPO earlier in the week, with more than half of the Offer Shares going to its pre-IPO shareholders.
- It was a busy week for placements as well, with Liontown Resources (LTR AU)‘s stealing the spotlight with its equity/debt raising, after Albemarle withdrew its acquisition bid.
