BOCOM International published a report stating that Hengrui Pharma (01276.HK) sustained last years strong growth momentum in the first quarter. Innovative drugs, particularly non-oncology products, recorded rapid volume expansion, accounting for more than 60% of total product sales, indicating that the companys innovative transformation has largely succeeded. The company continued to advance R&D efficiently, with multiple pipeline projects achieving positive progress. Data readouts for its ADC products at the ASCO conference are highly anticipated. The report noted that Hengrui Pharmas first-quarter revenue and net profit excluding non-recurring items increased by 13% YoY and 17% YoY, respectively, slightly exceeding the brokers previous expectations. Sales revenue from innovative drugs surged 26% YoY, with their contribution to total product sales rising to above 60% (61.7%). Among them, non-oncology products delivered outstanding performance, with sales revenue soaring 92% YoY, benefiting from approvals of multiple products, newly added medical insurance coverage and accelerated hospital penetration. Revenue from generic drugs declined 7%, affected by centralized procurement and the companys strategic reduction in investment. First-quarter BD income amounted to RMB787 million, mainly from the upfront payment for its cooperation with GSK (PDE3/4), as well as revenue recognized based on R&D progress for 11 other assets. For the full year, the company expects to recognize USD250 million out of a total USD500 million upfront payment. Based on the first-quarter performance, BOCOM International raised its profit margin forecasts for 2026 to 2028 and lifted its net profit forecasts by 3% to 4%. The broker considered the companys current valuation reasonable, raised the TP to HKD74 and maintained a Neutral rating.
