Ariad Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ARIA) from Neutral to Underperform, and lowered the price target from $8.00 to $6.00.In the report, Credit Suisse noted, “We believe that Iclusig will likely remain the last option for CML patients who have specific resistant mutations or fail other therapies.

Model changes increase our 2015 EPS estimates and decrease our 2016 EPS estimate.”Ariad Pharmaceuticals closed on Wednesday at $7.02.
