Asymchem Laboratories (Tianjin) (SHZ: OO2821) completed a $125 million IPO in Shenzhen. Asymchem is contract manufacturer of APIs, cGMP intermediates and finished drugs, all from its manufacturing facilities in China. Most of the proceeds will be used to build its R&D facilities and additional manufacturing facilities in Tianjin, which is also the company's headquarters.

BeyondSpring Pharma, a virtual US-China company, filed to stage a $100 million IPO on the NASDAQ exchange. The company's business plan calls for integrating US and China clinical resources, making adept use of both to reduce cost and time. The company focuses on cancer-related therapies and plans to market them in the US and China. BeyondSpring will advance plinabulin as a treatment for neutropenia, and it is also testing the molecule, alone and as an adjunct to existing therapies, as a direct acting therapeutic for several forms of cancer.

SciClone Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:SCLN), a San Francisco-area company that markets drugs in China, received an unsolicited $570 million acquisition offer. The offering group, which does not seem to include SciClone's management, is GL Capital Management GP Limited and ABG Management Limited. Both entities are allied with Ally Bridge Group, a Hong Kong-based VC/PE firm. The investor consortium offered $11.18 per share to acquire SciClone, which was 13% higher than the previous day's closing price. SciClone's management did not embrace the offer and didn't comment, except to say it would consider the offer carefully, pointing out that the consideration was their duty.

Top 10 China Stocks To Invest In 2017: Baidu Inc.(BIDU)

Advisors' Opinion:
  • [By Vincent Ho]

    Baidu (BIDU) has made impressive gains in the last 3 months. There are some very insightful articles on SA that argue for a bullish stance based on valuations. There are other articles on SA which cover the recent acquisition of 91 Wireless. This article is different in that it offers an overview of Baidu's business model in relation to its dependence on online advertising. Understanding the direction of the internet is important to predict future revenue growth. Significantly new competition from Qihoo (QIHU) is also something Baidu has never experienced before. There are doubts if Baidu has enough tools to clean up its act and regain market share.

    Baidu Inc (ADR) (NASDAQ: BIDU), up 8.16 percent Whole Foods Market, Inc. (NASDAQ: WFM), up 5.95 percent

Advisors' Opinion:
  • [By Rafi Farber]

    Jack of all trades infrastructure firm AECOM (NYSE: ACM) closed at $27.88 the afternoon everyone thought it would be Clinton by a landslide. Since then, the stock has exploded by 35%. Runs like this for AECOM, while extreme, are not unheard of, as a long-term chart shows quite heavy volatility going back to 2007.

    AECOM (NYSE: ACM) offers architecture and engineering design services and operates through three segments: Design and Consulting Services, Construction Services, and Management Services. It services the transportation, environmental and energy sectors, and it also serves key infrastructure projects such as highways, airports, bridges, wastewater facilities and power transmission and distribution. This puts AECOM right in the major infrastructure investing crosshairs for what you can expect ahead.

  • [By Jon C. Ogg]

    Gains are being seen elsewhere as well, except in shares of The Mosaic Company (NYSE: MOS). Agrium�Inc. (NYSE: AGU) was up almost 3% at $91.95 in late Monday trading, although this one held up much better in the destructive news phase when the alarming news roiled these stocks. The big winner is Intrepid Potash, Inc. (NYSE: IPI), with a gain of 7% to $16.20 in late-Monday trading.

  • [By Mike Deane]

    On Monday, Mosaic Co. (MOS) updated its Q3 guidance ahead of upcoming investor conferences.

    The Plymouth, MN-based crop nutrients company provided this update because “domestic and international crop nutrient markets have softened … as a result of the distributors’ cautiousness caused by the Belarusian Potash�Company (BPC) break-up.” Mosaic still sees long-term positive outlook for the industry, but sees dealers being cautious in the short-term, thus deferring their purchases.

    Due to the short-term purchase deferrals, Mosaic has lowered its “price and volume guidance for both the Potash and Phosphates segments for the third calendar quarter of 2013.”

    The company has lowered its potash volume for the quarter to a range of 1.45 million to 1.65 million tonnes, and a price range of $330 to $340 per ton. Also lowered is phosphate guidance, with volume now expected in the range of 2.6 million to 2.8 million tonnes, and a price range of $430 to $440 per ton.

    Mosaic shares were down 44 cents, or .97%, at Monday’s market close. YTD, the company’s stock is down more than 20%.

  • [By Ben Levisohn]

    Fundstrat’s Thomas Lee argues that investors need to add value and low quality stocks like Ford Motor (F), Marathon Oil (MRO), Mosaic (MOS), and First Solar (FSLR) to their portfolios to take advantage of rising oil prices, a cheaper dollar and a rebound in high yield. He explains why:

  • [By Lee Jackson]

    Mosaic Co. (NYSE: MOS) got absolutely crushed as the potash market went into a tailspin this year. The stock was down almost 50% and totally left for dead as the short sellers circled. The potash market has stabilized and the stock has rebounded solidly. The consensus target for this top name is $85, and investors are paid a 2.2% dividend. A move to the target from today’s trading level would be an almost 100% gain for investors.

    This agriculture ETF gives you exposure to a wide range of businesses within the farming sector, from fertilizer makers like The Mosaic Company (NYSE: MOS) to food producers like Archer Daniels Midland (NYSE: ADM) and equipment makers like Kubota Corp. (OTC: KUBTY) and Deere.
