[ET Net News Agency, 23 August 2019] Morgan Stanley lowered its target price for 3SBio
Inc (01530) to HK$16 from HK$17 to reflect lower RMB/HKD rate and lower sales guidance for
key products in 2019. The research house maintained its "overweight" rating.
Morgan said 3SBio's 1H sales were in line while normalized profit beat its estimates.
2019 full-year profit guidance intact despite lower sales guidance for Yisaipu and EPO.
With the NDRL (National Drug Reimbursement List) revision, Morgan thinks the guidance of
20-25% growth for sales and 20% for profit in 2019-20 is achievable. (KL)
