What InnoCare Pharma does

Chinese biotech developing targeted therapies for cancer and autoimmune disease, led by BTK-inhibitor orelabrutinib.

Sells orelabrutinib mainly in China, where hospital access depends on the national reimbursement list, which trades a negotiated lower price for broader coverage. Licensing is a second route: partners can pay upfront and milestone fees for rights outside China. It listed in Hong Kong in 2020 and added a Shanghai STAR Market listing in 2022.

In one line: A Chinese BeiGene-style oncology/immunology biotech.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
