Morgan Stanley released a research report stating that the total market value of Chinese biotech stocks listed in Hong Kong has increased by 154% year-to-date, far exceeding the Hang Seng Index's 34% increase during the same period. This is believed to reflect a significant shift in the market's recognition of the innovation capabilities of local pharmaceutical companies. It is expected that the Federal Reserve's accelerated pace of interest rate cuts will drive a shift in risk appetite, directing funds towards growth sectors such as Chinese biotech. However, Morgan Stanley anticipates that the performance of individual stocks will still depend on the company's fundamentals, including commercialization execution and innovation research and development progress. They are optimistic about companies with short-term catalysts, such as AKESO, INNOCARE, ABBISKO-B, INNOVENT BIO, and YINGEN BIO-B. Additionally, they have given a "Outperform" rating to VISION PHARMA-B and ZAI LAB
