Zhejiang Huahai Pharmaceutical Co Ltd

Huahai Pharmaceutical announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary Pharmaceutical Technology has received the drug registration certificate for Riociguat Tablets approved and issued by the National Medical Products Administration. The specifications include 0.5 mg, 1 mg, and 2.5 mg, with a registration classification of Category 4 chemical drugs, deemed to have passed the consistency evaluation. The drug is used to treat chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension and pulmonary arterial hypertension. The original drug was developed by Bayer, approved for marketing in the United States in 2013, and approved for import in China in 2017 under the brand name Adempas.

CFMoto announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary CFP has received a total of US$38.6079 million in IEEPA tariff refunds from the United States, equivalent to approximately 262 million yuan. This is the highest refund amount received by any A-share company based on the US International Emergency Economic Powers Act. After accounting for income tax expenses of the US subsidiary, the refund is expected to boost the company's 2026 net profit by approximately 183 million yuan, representing 10.95% of the most recent audited net profit. The refunds stem from a US Supreme Court ruling in February 2026 that invalidated IEEPA tariffs, with US Customs initiating refunds on April 20. As of August 12, at least nine A-share companies have disclosed receiving refunds, totaling over US$90 million. CFMoto leads in refund amount, while Huahai Pharmaceutical, Guizhou Tyre, and Yindu Kitchen Equipment each received over US$10 million.

After the proposed results of the 12th national centralized drug procurement were announced, nearly 40 A-share listed pharmaceutical companies had disclosed bid-related announcements as of the evening of August 3, with market attention continuing to heat up. This round of procurement showed clear divergence. Barefoot players like Kelun Pharmaceutical and Huahai Pharmaceutical broke through with newly approved varieties. Kelun Pharmaceutical had 14 product specifications proposed for selection, with 9 varieties having no sales revenue in 2025. Huahai Pharmaceutical had 4 proposed winning products, 3 of which were newly approved in the second quarter of 2026. Meanwhile, Huadong Medicine unexpectedly lost the bid for its core product indobufen tablets. The 4 products it failed to win had combined sales revenue of about 4.634 billion yuan in 2025, accounting for 10.62 percent of the company's total revenue, far exceeding the 2.076 billion yuan from winning products. Its market share in public hospitals faces reshaping. Companies generally view winning national procurement bids as an opportunity to quickly open the domestic sales market, but the decline in hospital share for lost varieties has raised market concerns about the short- to medium-term performance of related firms.

This evening, nearly 100 companies listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange released a flurry of positive signals, spanning share buybacks and stake increases, improving business performance, proposed selections in centralized drug procurement, and interim dividend returns.

In terms of investor returns, four companies—WuXi AppTec, Zhejiang Jiuzhou Pharmaceutical, Kingfa Sci. & Tech., and Jasan Group—unveiled interim dividend plans on the same day. Among them, WuXi AppTec plans to distribute a cash dividend of 5.1 yuan per 10 shares, with the total interim dividend expected to exceed 1.5 billion yuan. Additionally, the controlling shareholder of Lujiazui voluntarily committed not to transfer or reduce its holdings in any way within the next 12 months, coinciding with the unlocking of restricted shares from the company's private placement.
