Report Summary
JPMorgan hosted US Pharma/Biotech analysts to discuss ASCO, ADA and the 2H26 outlook. The consensus is that structural demand for Chinese assets from globalized drug innovation could outweigh US policy risks, with M&A and outlicensing activity expected to remain active but increasingly disciplined. PD-1/VEGF bispecifics are seen as too clinically important to be blocked purely on country-of-origin grounds.

Key Takeaways
- Structural demand for Chinese biotech assets from globalized drug innovation likely outweighs US policy risks such as 1260H listing and clinical data scrutiny

- PD-1/VEGF class viewed as largely de-risked; regulators would face significant pushback blocking US patient access based on data origin
- Buyers increasingly wary of paying premium for Western assets when competitive Chinese fast-followers exist six months behind
- sac-TMT emerges as a growth driver for Merck with encouraging efficacy signals at ASCO, particularly in PD-L1 high NSCLC
