SUMMARY
  • Kaken Pharmaceutical (4521 JP) reported 2% YoY decline in revenue H1FY24, while operating profit decreased 33% YoY. Top selling products are impacted by NHI drug price revision and increasing competition.

  • Kaken is not expected to see any immediate respite as the small contribution from the new products will not compensate for the revenue loss from its top selling products.
