Winners and losers

Stocks in the red include Nektar Therapeutics as a clinical trial update revealed melanoma patients aren’t responding to its experimental treatment, Colfax as BofA Merrill downgrades the industrial name to underperform with a $32 price target, and NXP Semi shares slipping as Streetinsider.com reports concern is growing over the Chinese Government’s approval of Qualcomm’s $44 billion buyout of NXP.

Stocks in the green include Whirlpool as Credit Suisse upgrades it to outperform and hiked its price target to $195, citing US tailwinds, Under Armour as Stifel hiked its price target to $27, encouraged by recent discussions with management regarding profitability, and Boeing — shares pushing higher as it will enter a partnership with French engineering firm Safran, to produce and maintain auxiliary power units for airplanes.
