Jiao Sheng's fourth-quarter revenue surged to US$22.5 billion, and cancer drugs have become the biggest driver. Can I buy them now?
What are the highlights of Jiao Sheng's fourth-quarter earnings report?
娇生第四季营收达 US$22.52 billion,较去年同期成长 5.3%,超越分析师预期的 US$22.42 billion。癌症药物业绩表现强劲,尤其是多发性骨髓瘤药物 Darzalex,季度销售额高达 30 billion dollars,较去年同期成长 20.9%,成为业绩的重要推动力。此外,心脏设备商 Shockwave Medical 的业务亦贡献良多,季度销售额达 $258 million。
但公司调整后的每股盈余为 $2.04,略高于分析师预估的 $2.01,但较去年同期下降了近 11%,主要受 V-Wave 收购相关支出影响。
How does Jiaosheng's M & A strategy support future growth?
娇生近年来积极进行并购以扩展药品及医疗设备业务。最新以 $14.6 billion 收购精神病药物制造商 Intra-Cellular Therapies,为其神经药物组合注入新动能。公司预估该笔交易将对今年每股盈余产生 30 to 35 cents 的影响。
在此之前,娇生也以 $13.1 billion 收购了心脏设备商 Shockwave,显示其医疗设备板块的强化策略。未来,公司预期其 Drug and equipment sales 年复合成长率可达 5%-7%,特别看重新产品推出以抵抗市场竞争压力。
How big is the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on Jiao Sheng?
汇率问题成为此次财报中最大的负面因素。因美元走强,公司全年盈余将被削减 US$0.25/share,高于市场预期的影响幅度,这也导致公司股价下跌近 2%,收于 $145.23。
CFO Joe Wolk 表示,若排除汇率影响,公司表现远优于市场共识,尤其是国际销售占总营收 43.4%,成为汇率波动的主要受害者。
Is Stelara's decline in sales a concern?
明星药物 Stelara(银屑病药物)的销售持续受到仿制药竞争的压力,第四季营收较去年同期下降 14.7% 至 $2.35 billion,全年营收为 US$10.36 billion,未达市场预估的 US$10.59 billion。
多款 Stelara 的生物相似药已于欧洲和加拿大上市,并预计今年会进入美国市场,公司将推出新药以对抗竞争。
How should investors view Jiaosheng's future prospects?
尽管汇率因素造成短期压力,但娇生在癌症药物、医疗设备及并购策略上的表现仍值得肯定。 Darzalex 年销售额高达 US$11.67 billion,超越市场预期,成为公司最畅销的药物,稳定的癌症药物业务可望支撑公司未来增长。
For Taiwanese investors, short-term exchange rate fluctuations may trigger stock price fluctuations, but Jiao Sheng's business foundation is solid and remains attractive for investment in the long run.
