[ET Net News Agency, 1 November 2017] Credit Suisse assumed coverage on 3SBio Inc.
(01530) with a "neutral" rating, and a target price of HK$15.4 (up from HK$8.6).
The research house sees the domestic industry leader to benefit the most from the
emerging China healthcare market, superior to MNCs and small domestic players. 3SBio, as a
leader in biologic drugs in China, has plenty of R&D and commercialisation experiences.
Besides, Credit Suisse believes it would be able to further strengthen its pipeline by
M&A and inhouse R&D in the future. Despite the strong fundamentals, the company is now
trading at 29x FY2018 P/E after stock price surged by 74% in the last 12 months; Credit
Suisse believes the upside is limited with such a high valuation. (KL)
