[ET Net News Agency, 29 October 2019] UOB Kay Hian lifted its target price for YiChang
HEC ChangJiang Pharmaceutical (01558) to HK$58.23 from HK$55 and maintained its "buy"
rating.
The research house said HEC Pharma reported promising sales and net income of Rmb1.37bn
and Rmb351mn respectively in 3Q, representing year-on-year growth of 470% and 632%.
Despite the low base in 3Q 2018, sales expansion in the OTC channel helped facilitate the
ultra-high growth.
UOBKH raised its revenue forecasts for 2019 and 2020 by 6.1% to reflect the stronger
growth of Kewei sales. (KL)
