2Q Top/Bottom Line Recover QoQ
发布时间:2026-08-04 来源:华泰证券
Jiuzhou Pharma has reported 1H26 results: Revenue/attributable net profit/ recurring net profit came in at RMB2,575/387/386mn (-10.30/-26.33/-26.56% YoY). For 2Q26, revenue/attributable net profit/recurring net profit were RMB1,375/215/217mn (-0.44/-21.88/-20.99% YoY, +14.49/25.12/28.83% QoQ), extending the QoQ profit recovery. We see earnings growth coming from both deeper penetration and wider market reach. Maintain BUY.
CDMO: commercial-stage projects ramping up
CDMO revenue came in at RMB1,973mn in 1H26 (-13.9% YoY), weighed by customer order phasing, concentrated in 1Q. We see Novartis remaining a reliable revenue stream. Kisqali/Fabhalta delivered sales of USD3,211/394mn in 1H26 (+51/96% YoY). Entresto was selected for China's 12th round of national volume-based procurement, and its hypertension patent has been extended to November 2031 — we expect domestic sales volumes to hold up well. As of the interim report release, Novartis had eight small-molecule assets (including approved molecules pursuing new indications, such as remibrutinib) in Phase III through to filing, pointing to a rich pipeline. Beyond Novartis, commercial-stage projects from domestic players such as Allist and Betta Pharma continue to ramp.
CDMO: expanding pipeline funnel and capacity
We remain confident in the orderly progression of this business, based on three pillars. 1) Steady pipeline growth. As of 1H26, the portfolio comprised 1,224 clinical Phase I/II projects, 99 Phase III projects, and 44 commercial-stage projects — up by 66, 5, and 5, respectively, from end-2025. In 1H26, the key-account team secured 11 new projects; the business added 29 new clients, 48 new projects, and 107 new orders. 2) Overseas expansion gaining traction. Jiuzhou Europe delivered eight projects in 1H26. Raybow USA secured 42 orders and added 17 new clients. Japan and South Korea contributed 28 new orders. 3) Capacity to match. Jiuzhou Taizhou is set to add 445m of capacity this year, with a further 340m coming on stream over the next two years. Zhejiang Raybow has consistently run at 70-80% utilization. Both Pharmaceutical Technology and the Yantou site have plans for new workshop construction.
Earnings forecasts and valuation
We maintain our 2026/2027/2028 attributable net profit forecasts of RMB850/903/953mn (+16.4/6.3/5.5% YoY), implying EPS of RMB0.96/1.02/1.08. Using a SOTP approach, we derive a fair value of RMB20,095mn (based on 2026E PE of 23.68x for CDMO and 23.24x for APIs, applying a 20% discount to the peer average to reflect near-term earnings pressure from demand pullback for key downstream products; previous 2026E PE at 23.34x and 22.21x, both in line with peers), yielding a target price of RMB22.79 (previously RMB22.23).
Risks: slower-than-we-expected downstream drug ramp-up, geopolitical risks, and slower-than-we-expected early-stage project growth.
