Leerink Swann upgraded Incyte (NASDAQ: INCY) from Market Perform
to Outperform.

Leerink analyst says, "We are upgrading INCY based on our view that over time it will shift the discussion from its role as a palliative agent to one as a truly disease modifying agent. We expect the disease modifying evidence (early signals from COMFORT-I & II then more pronounced versus historical controls over time) to drive both broader uptake in MF plus steady accumulation of patients. For our recent work on INCY, see our Heme-Onc Update and our ASH_Wrap-Up); we've recently also spoken with other MEDACorp hematologists which has helped crystallize our thinking. Our valuation range rises from hi teens to mid-$20s."
