以岭药业靠连花清瘟9个月营收33亿

近日，以岭药业争议不断，王思聪喊话“证监会应严查以岭药业”之后，@丁香医生 发长文呼吁“不要吃连花清瘟来预防新冠”。

以岭药业相关负责人回应称，“公司从未在任何场合表示‘世卫组织推荐连花清瘟’”。

今天股市开盘，以岭药业一字跌停，目前股价32.39元/股。至此，已连续两个交易日跌停。

Pharma Billionaire Wu Yiling Loses $1 Billion In One Day As Questions Mount Over His Covid Medicine

Forbes

Wu Yiling, the billionaire founder of traditional Chinese medicine producer Shijiazhuang Yiling Pharmaceutical, saw his wealth plunge by $1.1 billion in just one day amid questions over the efficacy of his purported Covid-treatment drugs.

The 72-year-old is facing rising skepticism of Yiling’s signature product, a herbal remedy called Lianhua Qingwen. Shares of the Shenzhen-listed company had almost quadrupled since the start of the pandemic in 2020, as capsules of Lianhua Qingwen were recommended by Chinese government authorities and health experts for treating mild Covid cases.

But the rally now appears to have come to an end. The company’s stock plunged by its daily trading limit of 10% in Shenzhen on Monday—dragging Wu’s wealth down to $4.7 billion from $5.8 billion on the World’s Real-Time Billionaires’ List. The drop came after Wang Sicong, the outspoken son of Wang Jianlin, the chairman of Dalian Wanda, reposted late last week a video on his verified account on Sina Weibo that questioned whether the World Health Organization (WHO) has ever recommended Lianhua Qingwen as a Covid treatment.

What’s more, Chinese healthcare platform Dingxiang Doctor is also now advising against using the capsules, which are made from ingredients that include honeysuckle, liquorice root and apricot seed. In an article published at midnight on Sunday, the platform wrote that there is currently no evidence suggesting that Lianhua Qingwen can prevent Covid infections.

A Yiling representative acknowledged over the phone a request for comment, but the company was unable to provide a response. In a filing to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, the company said Lianhua Qingwen accounted for 42% of its 3.4 billion yuan ($529 million) in sales in the first three quarters of 2021 (Yiling also makes herbal treatments for cardiovascular and tumor-related diseases). In early April, the company donated $7.9 million worth of Lianhua Qingwen capsules to Shanghai, which were distributed to residents as the daily count of confirmed Covid cases continues to mount.
