Nomura Sees Asian Companies Seizing Global GLP-1 Receptor Agonist Opportunities, Raises TPs for WUXI APPTEC (02359.HK) and INNOVENT BIO (01801.HK)

Nomura published a report stating that growth in the market for GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) in the rest of the world (ROW) will drive significant expansion of the drug category. The global GLP-1 RAs market is currently valued at USD72 billion. According to third-party forecasts, the market size is expected to reach USD180 billion over the next decade, representing a CAGR of about 11%. In terms of geographic expansion, the extension from the highly profitable US market to ROW markets with lower pricing but large patient populations will become a major market driver.

The broker noted that molecules under development feature greater safety, longer-lasting efficacy and fewer side effects, while indications are expanding beyond diabetes and obesity. The commercial success of GLP-1 RAs lies in their efficacy, enabling expansion from diabetes treatment into chronic weight management.

Nomura raised the TP for WUXI APPTEC (02359.HK) from HKD157.07 to HKD180.22, while maintaining a Buy rating; raised the TP for INNOVENT BIO (01801.HK) from HKD114.64 to HKD123.17, while maintaining a Buy rating; and raised the TP for ASYMCHEM (06821.HK) from HKD115.43 to HKD131.48, while maintaining a Buy rating.
