Is NMPA’s Wave Of Drug Approvals Altering The Investment Case For SSY Group (SEHK:2005)?

• In late November 2025, SSY Group reported a series of approvals from China’s National Medical Products Administration for new and existing drugs, including treatments for overactive bladder, respiratory diseases, liver-related cholestasis and vitamin A supplementation.
• These clustered approvals, many classified as passing China’s consistency evaluation, underline SSY Group’s push to broaden its portfolio of higher-quality, regulated pharmaceutical products in its home market.
• We’ll examine how this wave of NMPA-approved therapies, particularly in respiratory and urological care, may influence SSY Group’s broader investment narrative.

What Is SSY Group's Investment Narrative?

For SSY Group, you really have to believe in a recovery story built on execution rather than hype. The share price has lagged the Hong Kong pharma sector and margins have compressed, while dividends have just been trimmed and CEO pay has risen even as earnings fell, so near term sentiment is fragile. Against that backdrop, the November NMPA approvals for respiratory, cardiovascular, liver and urological drugs show the existing R&D and regulatory pipeline is still converting into marketable products, which could reinforce the current earnings growth forecasts if commercialization goes smoothly. In the short term, though, these wins probably do little to offset the more pressing catalysts and risks: weaker recent results, dividend cover concerns and questions around capital allocation and governance.

However, investors should also factor in the governance and dividend coverage concerns that now stand out. SSY Group's shares have been on the rise but are still potentially undervalued. Find out how large the opportunity might be.
