Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

West’s top-line growth is likely to be buoyed by secular trends in injectable drugs, especially increasing use of biologic drugs.

Bears

Many of West’s products and services could be insourced by customers, and a reversal of higher outsourcing could occur if customers decide they want more control over the supply chain.
