While management touts his leadership and upside, critics view the deal as a high-risk move for a relatively unproven player with limited NHL experience.

Fosun Pharma plans HK$1 billion buyback funded by Gland Pharma stake sale — 2dFosun Pharma unveils up to HK$1 billion in H-share buybacks, funded in part by the disposal of about 6% of its Gland Pharma stake, as management signals confidence in intrinsic value despite heavy R&D investment and only modest recurring profit growth. The stake sale, worth around US$296 million, reduces Fosun’s holding in Gland Pharma to ~45.76% but keeps it as controller, with proceeds earmarked for R&D, debt repayment, and further buybacks to support long-term value creation.

Elena Vasquez Modest recurring profit growth with heavy R&D spend is the real story here, the buyback is just window dressing for investors.
