CSPC Pharmaceutical Group Ltd. (1093.HK) warned on Thursday that is net profit for the first nine months of this year fell about 16% compared with a year earlier.

It blamed the decline on falling revenue for its oncology and cardiovascular therapeutic drugs, which were down about 18% and 11%, respectively, year-on-year during the period. Those declines were partially offset by a 4% rise in revenue from its nervous system therapeutic drug sales. CSPC’s shares fell 13% to HK$5 in early Friday trade.
