           [Min Ji-Son, Edaily Reporter] On Sept. 8, shares of Hyundai Pharmaceutical and JW Shinyak extended their rallies as U.S. investor enthusiasm over next-generation hair-loss treatments spilled over into South Korean companies that already sell established alopecia drugs.

Last year, it also launched Minoxyl Foam 5% Aerosol, designed to improve ease of use. Its oral hair-loss portfolio includes finasteride-based Minopecia and dutasteride-based Damodart.</p>

No additional collaboration involving clascoterone for hair loss is currently under discussion, according to people familiar with the matter.</p>

          <p contents-hash="776349bb5c0c200a130b343fd83a2aa7249b66d9722d65413c3d32792e2f847a" dmcf-pid="xem2S2XSEU" dmcf-ptype="general">Sales of JW Shinyak’s flagship hair-loss drug Monad have actually declined in recent years, falling from 7.6 billion won in 2021 to 6.4 billion won in 2022, 5.1 billion won in 2023, 4.7 billion won in 2024 and 2.8 billion won last year. First-half sales this year stood at 1.57 billion won, suggesting little change from the previous year.</p>

The improvement, however, was largely attributed to increased sales of prescription medicines, including its dementia combination drug DMDuo.</p>
          <p contents-hash="70ec8bddf69269df9e03450a4ad108ac89e1de6e5fb82434511a587b002fb513" dmcf-pid="YX2CQCnQr3" dmcf-ptype="general">Expectations surrounding Mifegymiso, an oral abortion drug for which Hyundai Pharmaceutical holds exclusive South Korean rights, may also have contributed to the stock’s rally.</p>

           “The U.S. investment case for hair-loss treatments is not about existing drugs suddenly selling much more,” one securities industry official said. “Investors are focused on the fact that genuinely new therapies have been absent for a long time. Companies that merely sell existing hair-loss treatments should not be valued as if they have the same drug-development upside or earnings potential as developers of next-generation therapies.”
