US Top News and Analysis | Bristol Myers Squibb turns to China to develop new drugs in newest cross-continent collaboration

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Bristol Myers Squibb announced a multi‑billion‑dollar partnership with China’s top drugmaker Hengrui Pharma to develop roughly a dozen new medicines, including four experimental compounds that BMS will send to China for early‑stage clinical testing. Unlike typical licensing deals where U.S. firms outsource Chinese discoveries, this reciprocal arrangement has both companies contributing assets and jointly discovering novel drugs, signaling a shift toward a “global mesh” model of R&D. Industry observers note that American and European biopharma firms are increasingly turning to China for faster, cheaper early‑stage research—potentially cutting development time by half and costs by two‑thirds—while later‑stage trials remain U.S.‑centric to satisfy FDA requirements. The deal underscores China’s growing role as a central hub in global drug development rather than merely a source of one‑off molecules.

On Thursday, April 30 2026, Jim Cramer highlighted ten market catalysts: Alphabet topped earnings with strong AI‑driven growth in search, subscriptions and cloud, prompting a price‑target hike to $400; Amazon followed, boosting AWS to 28% growth and maintaining a $200 billion capex plan, lifting its target to $300; Microsoft saw 40% cloud growth and Copilot expansion, keeping its $500 target despite a slight stock dip; Meta’s lack of a cloud business hurt sentiment, leading to an 8.5% share decline and a reduced target of $750; broader market forces—robust earnings, lower oil, and bond yields—should support a higher S&P 500 opening; Eli Lilly smashed forecasts with a 49% U.S. volume surge, sending its stock up over 6%; Cardinal Health delivered modest earnings improvement but fell 1%; AI start‑up Anthropic is in talks for a $900 billion valuation; Qualcomm’s data‑center chip launch for a “large hyperscaler” spurred a >10% rally; and Intel, riding soaring demand for AI chips, hit an all‑time high with shares jumping nearly 24% after blockbuster earnings.
