HUTCHMED (China) stock trades below a USD 14.87 consensus target after MarketBeat reported the six-brokerage average on October 13, 2026. The target stands 5.84 percent above the latest Nasdaq price. HUTCHMED (China) stock was last at USD 14.05 on October 16, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. ET, up 0.79 percent from the Nasdaq prior close of USD 13.94.
Revenue missed expectations
The latest quarterly result gives the target a more demanding operating backdrop. HUTCHMED reported revenue of USD 139.14 million for the second quarter of 2026, against a consensus estimate of USD 304.16 million, according to MarketBeat. The same report said earnings per share were USD 0.05 versus USD 0.14 expected. That revenue gap is the key counterweight to the above-market consensus target.
Stock sits within its range
The Nasdaq price was 14.38 percent below the 52-week high of USD 16.33 and 43.81 percent above the 52-week low of USD 9.77 on October 16, 2026. The latest quotation was also above the 50-day moving average of USD 13.22 and the 200-day moving average of USD 12.65 cited by MarketBeat. The positioning leaves the stock closer to its yearly high than its yearly low, while the daily move stayed below 1.00 percent.
Valuation in the latest quarter
HUTCHMED had a market capitalization of USD 2.5 billion and a trailing price-to-earnings ratio of 153.46 as of October 16, 2026. Its second-quarter net income was USD 1.73 million, while operating profit was USD 434,500 for the same period. The figures describe a company with positive reported earnings but a valuation that remains highly sensitive to future drug sales.
Comparison with peers
HUTCHMED (Nasdaq, USD): plus 0.79 percent, P/E 153.46, market capitalization USD 2.5 billion
AstraZeneca (Nasdaq, USD): minus 0.76 percent, P/E 24.83, market capitalization USD 256.5 billion
GSK (NYSE, USD): plus 1.00 percent, P/E 15.65, market capitalization USD 99.2 billion
Trading context
The comparison shows how different HUTCHMED's valuation profile is from larger profitable drugmakers. AstraZeneca's market value was more than 100 times larger, while GSK traded on a much lower earnings multiple on October 16, 2026. HUTCHMED's price therefore remains tied more closely to clinical progress and commercial expansion than to current earnings alone.
