According to the Zhitong Finance App, Cornerstone Pharmaceutical-B (02616) announced interim results for the six months ended June 30, 2026. The group obtained revenue of RMB 205 million (same unit), an increase of 314.75% over the previous year; loss of 252 million yuan during the period, a year-on-year decrease of 6.62%; and a loss of 0.17 yuan per share.
According to the announcement, revenue includes $183 million from drug sales (avatinib, platinib and sugarizumab), $6.9 million from licensing fees, and $15 million from licensing fees. The sharp increase in revenue was mainly driven by a significant increase in sales of pharmaceuticals (especially platinib). This was due to the drug being successfully included in the National Medical Insurance Drug Catalogue (National Health Insurance Catalogue) from January 2026, which led to a significant increase in sales.
