Exelixis, Inc. (NASDAQ:EXEL) rallied 9.63% to $6.26 on a high volume of 449k shares. Today it reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2009. Revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 were $55.0 million, compared to $29.9 million for the comparable period in 2008. The increase from 2008 to 2009 primarily reflects the increase in revenue relating to the new collaborations with sanofi-aventis for XL147 and XL765, Bristol-Myers Squibb Company for XL184 and XL281 and Boehringer Ingelheim for the S1P1 agonist program partially offset by the conclusion of the research term of various collaboration agreements with GlaxoSmithKline, Bristol-Myers Squibb Company and Genentech.
