WuXi PharmaTech (Cayman) Inc. (NYSE: WX) announced today that it has decided to postpone its follow-on offering of American Depository Shares "due to current market conditions and share price."

Credit Suisse Securities and JP Morgan Securities were lead underwriters and joint book-runners for the offering that was originally filed April 4. Some of the shares that were being sold were for existing shareholders and some share sale proceeds were to be used for existing factory expansions and for general corporate purposes.

The Chinese and U.S.-based pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device "outsourcing" company is trading up 2% at $19.10 in early morning trading and when the offering was first announced, WuXi was trading at about $23.50. WuXi has a 52-week range of $17.43 to $45.65.

Are You Still Paying With a Debit Card?

The average American spends $17,274 on debit cards a year, and it’s a HUGE mistake. First, debit cards don’t have the same fraud protections as credit cards. Once your money is gone, it’s gone. But more importantly you can actually get something back from this spending every time you swipe.

Issuers are handing out wild bonuses right now. With some you can earn up to 5% back on every purchase. That’s like getting a 5% discount on everything you buy!

Our top pick is kind of hard to imagine. Not only does it pay up to 5% back, it also includes a $200 cash back reward in the first six months, a 0% intro APR, and…. $0 annual fee. It’s quite literally free money for any one that uses a card regularly. Click here to learn more!
