What this transaction means for investors
Investors should be aware of how FMR LLC purchased the shares. The stakeholder company purchased American Depositary Shares (ADS), which are fractional shares of an ordinary share offered on the U.S. stock market, allowing American investors to invest in a foreign company.
While Structure Therapeutics does a significant amount of its business in San Francisco, it's actually based in the Cayman Islands. Before purchasing an amount of ADS, investors should also be aware that holding them can incur occasional fees, which often range from 1 to 5 cents per share.
Shortly after FMR LLC conducted this sale, on Dec. 11, 2025, Structure Therapeutics announced the closing of a public offering, where gross proceeds reached approximately $748 million. The pharmaceutical company has received strong support from stakeholders, especially as it continues to achieve success with the development of its weight loss pill, which reportedly competes with Eli Lilly & Co.'s (NYSE:LLY) pill.
After rising 153% in 2025, GPCR has continued that bullish momentum, rising about 13% in 2026 as of Jan. 12. With strong support from corporate investors and promising pharmaceutical development, Structure Therapeutics seems to be well-positioned long-term.
