Positive Development: AstraZeneca is investing $2.5 billion in a new R&D center in Beijing, China, which is expected to enhance its growth prospects and strengthen its position in a key market.
Challenges in the UK: The UK pharmaceutical industry faces high levies, which could hinder investment and growth. AstraZeneca may be affected by these challenges, potentially impacting its global competitiveness.

Sell if the stock approaches the resistance level of 77.42, as it may face selling pressure. Consider Buy if it dips towards the support level of 74.68 with positive momentum.

The company is expanding its oncology presence with several important pipeline products. In particular, the company's EGFR drug Tagrisso looks well positioned to drive major cashflows over the next decade.
The management team is focusing the pipeline toward areas of high unmet medical need, which should increase the odds of success and bring strong pricing power for the new drugs.
AstraZeneca has a large presence in emerging markets and should benefit from these markets' fast growth prospects.
