After taking a deeper look at the Chinese PD-1 market, Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Louise Chen believes it could equate to billions of sales that are not yet in the forecasts for Merck's Keytruda. She thinks the peak sales potential of PD-1s in China remains underappreciated. China's pharma market can grow to $225B by 2025, which would support a growing PD-1/PD-L1 market, Chen tells investors in a research note titled "Deep Dive into China: A Complicated but Underappreciated Opportunity." The analyst keeps an Overweight rating on Merck with a $95 price target.
