Fosun Pharma (CNE100001M79) had signed a licensing framework with Sandoz on October 8, 2026, covering up to 10 biosimilar products.

The agreement also includes up to USD 77.00 million in sales milestone payments and a 40 percent share of net sales or net profit, while Sandoz paid an USD 8.00 million option fee for one potential product, according to GMT EIGHT.
The commercial terms add a measurable internationalization angle to Fosun Pharma's pipeline. The company operates in pharmaceutical manufacturing, medical devices, diagnostics and healthcare services, according to its investor-relations profile.
Three dated milestones shape the story
On June 30, 2026, Fosun Pharma reported six-month revenue of CNY 20.38 billion, up 4.90 percent year over year, and innovative-drug revenue of CNY 4.91 billion, up 13.80 percent, in an interim report carried by Futu.
On September 14, 2026, a Fosun Pharma application for HLX14 was accepted by a Chinese drug regulator, as reported by MarketScreener. On October 8, 2026, the Sandoz framework followed with terms covering up to 10 products and USD 237.00 million for the first three.
What does the pipeline add?
The interim report showed that overseas business revenue rose 16.50 percent year over year in the six months ended June 30, 2026, while research and development investment increased 25.70 percent to CNY 3.25 billion, according to Futu. Those figures frame the Sandoz agreement as a potential commercialization channel rather than a standalone earnings result.
