On August 14, XTALPI declined 5.01% in regular trading, trading at 7.795 HKD/share, with turnover of HKD 255 million.
On the news front, the Life Sciences Tools & Services sector saw broad-based weakness, with Genscript Biotech down 5.93%, Insilico down 5.52%, WuXi AppTec down 3.4%, and WuXi XDC down 3.16%, as funds rotated out of the AI drug discovery segment.
