Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>A Senate committee moved the bill (S.3558) forward that would prohibit pharmaceutical companies from using foreign service providers like WuXi AppTec and its subsidiaries. However, rational voices are still expected.</li>
<li>Seemingly conflicting proposals are mostly “noise” and disturbances to stock prices. This means in the future, we‘ll see stock prices move sharply again due to latest developments on these bills.</li>
<li>WuXi AppTec should have "bottom-line thinking" and prepare some "backup solutions".Investors don’t need to be overly pessimistic, because when global capital flows reverse, no one will mind these bills anymore.</li>
