Adamas Pharmaceuticals (ADMS) shares surged following news that the FDA approved its new one-of-a-kind treatment for Parkinson’s disease. The company is expected to roll out the drug in the fourth quarter.

Twitter (TWTR) shares were lower after analysts at Jefferies downgraded the stock to hold from buy and cut its price target by $4 bucks to $16 a share. The firm believes that Facebook (FB) is the clear winner in social media and while Twitter’s video efforts are quote “interesting,” Google (GOOGL) and Facebook are doing it better.
