Hansoh Pharmaceutical Group (SEHK:3692) just secured fresh National Reimbursement Drug List approvals for new Ameile indications, plus renewals for Saint Luolai and Hengmu, a policy shift that could reshape its revenue mix from 2026.

That backdrop helps explain why sentiment has swung so hard in Hansoh’s favour, with a 30 day share price return of 18.79 percent and a one year total shareholder return of 137.26 percent signalling strong, building momentum rather than a short lived spike.
If this kind of reimbursement driven rerating interests you, it is worth exploring other healthcare stocks that may be lining up similar catalysts.
Yet with the shares already near analyst targets and trading after a 160 percent year to date surge, investors must now ask whether Hansoh is still undervalued or if the market is already pricing in future growth.
Hansoh trades on a steep 49.8x price to earnings ratio against a last close of HK$43.36, suggesting investors are paying a premium for growth.
The price to earnings multiple reflects how much the market is willing to pay today for each unit of the company’s current earnings. This is a key lens for profitable pharma names like Hansoh, where pipeline visibility and margin durability matter as much as near term profit.
Here, the market is assigning Hansoh a valuation that is more than double the peer average P E of 23.3x and significantly above the estimated fair P E of 26.8x. This implies that expectations for future earnings expansion, pipeline success, and reimbursement gains are already richly capitalised in the share price and may have limited room to shift higher toward that fair ratio level.
Compared with the wider Hong Kong Pharmaceuticals industry average of 13.5x, Hansoh’s multiple looks even more stretched. This underscores how aggressively the market is repricing its earnings relative to sector norms.
