Yuhan Corp: 1Q18 Preview: Pipeline Value To Be Highlighted

  • -  We expect 1Q18 results to be in line with market expectations as outpatient prescription growth is offset by slower API exports. On a parent basis, we expect Yuhan Corp to report KRW359.5bn in sales (+2.9% YoY, -3.7% QoQ) and KRW23.7bn in operating profit (-14.4%, +70.9% QoQ) on a 6.6% operating margin.

  • -  We maintain BUY as we see its key pipelines reviving out-licensing momentum in the mid to long term.

  • -  The stock trades at discounts to larger pharmas. Given the potential of the successful development of an original drug for lung cancer, we raise our target multiple to revise up our target price from KRW260,000

    to KRW300,000.
