Gilead surged Thursday after rival drugmaker Bristol-Myers suspended a study of one of its hepatitis C drug candidates after at least one patient suffered heart failure. Bristol-Myers has been in a race with Gilead to develop the next generation of hepatitis C treatments, according to Bernstein analyst Dr. Tim Anderson. Gilead bought hepatitis C drug developer Pharmasset in January for $11.1 billion. The deal gave it several experimental hepatitis treatments, including one labeled GS-7977 that many analysts see as promising. Credit Suisse analyst Catherine Arnold said that because Gilead's GS-7977 isn't associated with major safety issues, investors will view the company's hepatitis C program more positively. Gilead Sciences with a market cap of $41.1 billion, is an independent biopharmaceutical company that seeks to provide accelerated solutions for patients and the people who care for them. They have a broad-based focus on developing and marketing drugs to treat patients with infectious diseases, including viral infections, fungal infections and bacterial infections, and a specialized focus on cancer.

The "Chart of the Day" is Reynolds American (RAI), which showed up on Wednesday's Barchart "All-Time High" list. RAI on Wednesday posted a new all-time high of $46.84 and closed up +0.54%. TrendSpotter has been long RAI since June 13 at $41.74. U.S. District Court Judge Richard Leon on Wednesday denied an FDA motion to dismiss a lawsuit by Lorillard Inc. and R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. filed last year that alleges financial conflict of interest and bias by several members of the Tobacco Products Scientific Advisory Committees. The suit specifically alleges that some committee members have conflicts of interest because they were paid expert witnesses in anti-tobacco lawsuits and have financial ties to pharmaceutical companies that make smoking-cessation products. Last Tuesday, RAI reported Q2 adjusted earnings of 79 cents per share, beating expectations of 76 cents as the company focuses on cigarette alternatives such as snuff and chewing tobacco for future sales growth as tax hikes, smoking bans, health concerns and social stigma make the cigarette business tougher. Reynolds American with a market cap of $26.6 billion, is the parent company of R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, Santa Fe Natural Tobacco Company, Inc., Lane Limited and R.J. Reynolds Global Products, Inc. R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, the second- largest U.S. tobacco company, manufactures about one of every three cigarettes sold in the United States, including five of the nation's 10 best-selling brands.
