[ET Net News Agency, 12 January 2018] Credit Suisse lifted its target price for CSPC
Pharmaceutical (01093) to HK$22 from HK$18.4, and maintained its "outperform" rating.
The research house believes CSPC will deliver the strongest organic growth among the
large pharma names and near-term profitability. In 2018, the new NDRL inclusion of NBP
injection and Jinyouli will have a full-year impact, which Credit Suisse estimated to
deliver 40%/70% growth respectively.
It sees the company to achieve 19.5% sales CAGR in 2017-19, with 17.3% organic growth
CAGR. Credit Suisse said CSPC's albumin-bounded paclitaxel, metformin, and clopidogrel
hydrogen sulphate have all been included in the drug priority review list and could start
contributing to sales in early 2018. (KL)
