Shares in Hutchison China Meditech (HCM) have taken a bit of a battering, falling by a third since the start of the year. That's despite decent financial results from the group's commercial arm, the renegotiation of a deal with AstraZeneca (AZN) and a successful Nasdaq listing that supported a $95.9m (£77.9m) fundraising.
It's the US shares' trading that has had a negative impact on the London share price in recent months. The company believes that some US investors have already lost patience with Chi-Med considering the host of other biotech investment opportunities available stateside. For those patient investors sitting tight as the share price has plummeted, news that a non-executive director has sold 15,000 of his shares is unlikely to raise spirits. Michael Howell earned himself £268,500 in the share sale, but retains a 0.23 per cent holding.
