From today's conference, HB made clear that Ariad is looking to partner Iclusig in many markets outside the US, including Japan, likely with their Australia deal as a model.

This is a major shift and IMHO a positive catalyst.

While it would have been nice to have been truly global, independent operation, this plan offers a much more realistic balance between Iclusig's cash flows and Ariad's ability to fund a sprawling marketing infrastructure.

Also (as I've said before) if Ariad's true competitive advantage lies in the lab, it is actually a sound decision -- arguably the best decision -- to focus on molecule discovery and effectively outsource distribution.
