Why Shares of BeiGene Were Up Wednesday

Shares of Chinese pharmaceutical BeiGene (NASDAQ: BGNE) rose as high as 12.8% in early trading on Wednesday. BeiGene didn't make any big announcements, and its earnings report was back on Nov. 9, so the move was curious. Most likely, it was just a little bit of a return to normalcy after the stock took a beating when there were protests in China regarding the country's strict lockdown "zero tolerance" provisions regarding COVID-19.
