Hong Kong Biopharma Rally as U.S. Signals Continued Chinese Licensing Deals

Chinese biopharma shares jumped in Hong Kong after reports the U.S. may allow continued licensing of drugs from Chinese firms, with Innovent, Akeso and others leading gains as the Hang Seng Biotech Index rose over 5%. The shift would keep pharma licensing on a different track from tighter U.S. rules for AI and semiconductors. Licensing activity remains robust, with about half of 2025 U.S. overseas drug licenses coming from China and roughly $110 billion in licensing deals in the first half of 2026, underscoring a continued out-licensing boom and China’s push to globalize its pharmaceutical sector.

Some of Netflix's competitors, including Warner Bros Discovery's HBO network, are reversing their strategy by licensing their old TV shows and movies to Netflix, boosting its programming offerings but potentially squeezing its profit margins. This shift comes as legacy media groups seek streaming profits and view licensing revenue as attractive. While analysts see this as a positive for Netflix, they also warn that the cost of licensing, along with Netflix's investments in gaming and other sectors, could put pressure on its profit margins in 2024. Despite the potential challenges, licensing deals have given old shows new life and increased engagement on both Netflix and Warner Discovery's Max streaming platform.

Fanatics and Panini Engage in Intense Legal Battle Over Trading Card Industry

Fanatics has filed a countersuit against Panini America after Panini accused the sports retail and collectibles giant of having a monopoly in the trading card industry. Panini alleged that Fanatics engaged in "anticompetitive" behavior and signed long-term licensing deals with major sports leagues. Fanatics fired back, accusing Panini of unfair trade practices and tortious misconduct. The lawsuit also mentioned a 2022 negotiating period when Fanatics and Panini agreed in principle to terminate some licenses early, but Panini allegedly dragged out the negotiations in bad faith. Fanatics is seeking damages and other relief for Panini's unfair competition, tortious interference, and breach of the duty to negotiate in good faith.
