The analysts highlighted the promising potential of Zai Lab’s ZL-1310 treatment for extensive stage small cell lung cancer, with data showing a higher objective response rate compared to competitors. This development could lead to significant revenue generation, with potential sales estimated between $1-2 billion. Additionally, Cantor Fitzgerald expressed confidence in Zai Lab’s ability to navigate geopolitical challenges, noting that the company is unlikely to face delisting risks from U.S. exchanges due to its robust corporate structure. The firm also pointed out that Zai Lab’s operations in China remain largely unaffected by ongoing U.S.-China trade tensions, which might even provide licensing advantages. Moreover, Zai Lab’s Bemarituzumab is being closely watched as a potential growth driver, with Phase 3 trials for gastric cancer treatments underway. The analysts project that Bemarituzumab could significantly contribute to Zai Lab’s growth starting in 2027. Despite market pressures, Cantor Fitzgerald maintains a positive long-term outlook for Zai Lab, anticipating profitability by the fourth quarter of 2025.
