West Pharmaceutical drops sharply with no clear catalyst identified
No news directly explains today's significant decline. The only recent news involves AbbVie acquiring a manufacturing facility from West Pharmaceutical, announced two days ago, which would typically be neutral-to-positive for the seller.

Analysis

This drop is highly unusual at 2.9 standard deviations and significantly underperforms the healthcare sector by over 6 percentage points. The AbbVie facility sale announced January 14 is unlikely to explain today's selloff as asset sales are generally not negative catalysts. The lack of Tier 1/2 sources covering any negative developments suggests either undisclosed company-specific news or institutional repositioning ahead of an unknown event.
