Intercept Pharmaceuticals surged 16.6 percent higher as it disclosed encouraging clinical results from a trial on an experimental liver-disease drug. Deutsche Bank said the results "firmly establishes" Intercept's treatment as a "big player" for nonalcoholic steatohepatitis.

Another biopharmaceutical company, MannKind, sank 12.3 percent one day after disclosing a worldwide licensing deal with French pharma giant Sanofi to commercialize the Afrezza insulin therapy.

Bank of America Merrill Lynch said that while Sanofi was a "very strong" partner, the structure of the deal will delay the payoff to MannKind.

Women's fashion house Kate Spade plummeted 25.4 percent as the company said a tough competitive environment has forced it to slash prices. That overshadowed an increase in the company's earnings forecast.
