Company Description

Daiichi Sankyo is a pharmaceutical company with strength in oncology. Its proprietary

antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) Enhertu is growing in the breast-cancer field while expanding

ADCs are also progressing. The company also operates Daiichi Sankyo Healthcare, which sells

OTC products.

Valuation Method and Risk Statement

We set our Daiichi Sankyo price target using a PER multiple to our Japan BioPharma universe,

informed by peer valuations and PharmaValues NPV. P/Es are calculated on the basis of UBS

adjusted numbers. For Daiichi Sankyo, we assume a sector-relative PER of -18%. This

compares with a 3m average of -31%, 1-year average of -17%, and a 3-year average of 28%.

Our sector relative PER assumptions are informed by our PharmaValues NPV valuation and

consider relative EPS growth profile of the company versus peers. Upside risks include

antibody-drug conjugates (ADC) delivering clinical trial data exceeding expectations in cancer

types with significant market opportunities, medium-term business plan performance

outlook surpassing expectations, and increased hurdles for ADC biosimilar launches due to

regulatory guidance. Downside risks include medium-term business plan performance

outlook falling below expectations, failure in clinical development products (particularly in-

house developed ADCs), and supply chain disruptions.
