Overview: Dawnrays Pharmaceutical (Holdings) Limited is an investment holding company that develops, manufactures, and sells non-patented pharmaceutical medicines in Mainland China and internationally, with a market cap of HK$1.86 billion.
Operations: The company’s revenue is derived from two primary segments: Finished Drugs, contributing CN¥1.05 billion, and Intermediates and Bulk Medicines, accounting for CN¥164.60 million.
Market Cap: HK$1.86B
Dawnrays Pharmaceutical (Holdings) displays financial stability with short-term assets of CN¥2.1 billion surpassing both short-term liabilities and long-term obligations.

However, Dawnrays maintains a low debt-to-equity ratio of 0.3%, reduced significantly over five years, and its operating cash flow comfortably covers debt obligations at a very high level.
