Barnes & Noble (BKS) shares are up about 15% since TechCrunch said Microsoft (MSFT) may pay $1B for its Nook e-reader business but the stock may have another 50% upside to $30 per share based on Barnes & Noble's asset value, contended Barron's in a report this weekend. Barron's, however, called the situation "admittedly tough to assess" because neither Microsoft nor B&N will comment on the purchase rumor. The Fly notes Barnes & Noble shares are up 4% to $20.80 in pre-market trading. Reference Link |

| 16:23 EDT |  | SNE | On The Fly: Closing Wrap
Stocks on Wall Street were higher on a Tuesday again, keeping the strange "Tuesday in 2013" streak alive. Some positive domestic economic data and bullish commentary from Appaloosa Management's David Tepper set the tone early and the averages traded with an upward bias for almost the entire trading day. Today's advance means that every Tuesday this year has seen the market log gains, and investors will have to wait another week to see if the pattern continues. ECONOMIC EVENTS: The NFIB small business optimism index for April rose to 92.1, versus expectations for it to climb to 90.3 from its prior 89.5 reading. Import prices were reported to have declined 0.5% in April, which was in-line with expectations. Export prices declined 0.7%, versus a forecast for a 0.1% drop in the month. COMPANY NEWS: Dell (DELL) shares lost 6c, or 0.44%, to $13.46 after Dow Jones said the company will report first quarter non-GAAP earnings of 20c per share, 15c below current consensus estimates. That followed an earlier report from CNBC's David Faber, who also said the company will report earnings that miss expectations and accurately called that Dell has moved its report to Thursday, which is earlier than had been expected... Sony (SNE) shares added $1.87, or 9.9%, but closed off their best levels at $20.76 after the New York Times reported that Dan Loeb of Third Point has built a 6.5% stake and proposes that the company take its entertainment unit public. MAJOR MOVERS: Among notable gainers was InterOil (IOC), up $7.46, or 9.57%, to $85.39 after reporting its earnings and saying its talks with "major oil companies and a national oil company" about a potential LNG partnership are in the final stages. Also higher was SodaStream (SODA), up $6.79, or 11.85%, to $64.08 after at least two analyst firms raised their price target on shares following yesterday's analyst day presentations. Among noteworthy losers was Solar City (SCTY), down $4.44, or 12.37%, to $31.44 after the company's first quarter earnings missed expectations and the stock was downgraded by at least two firms. Also lower was Velti (VELT), down 29c, or 14.5%, to $1.71 after its revenue outlook fell below estimates. INDICES: The Dow was up 123.57, or 0.82%, to 15,215.25; the Nasdaq was up 23.82, or 0.69%, to 3,462.61; and the S&P 500 was up 16.57, or 1.01%, to 1,650.34. |

Stocks on Wall Street were little changed from their opening levels as investors weighed the potential end of the Fed's quantitative easing program against a better than expected report on retail sales. The Wall Street Journal's Jon Hilsenrath suggested in a report over the weekend that the Federal Reserve has mapped a QE exit strategy. The report paired with the retail sales data left the market lacking conviction in either direction today, as the averages spent the majority of the session range-bound near the flatline. ECONOMIC EVENTS: In the U.S., retail sales rose 0.1% in April, which beat expectations for a 0.3% decline. Retail sales excluding autos, gas, and building materials rose 0.6%, which was also better than expected. Business inventories were flat in March, versus expectations for a 0.3% gain. In Asia, Chinese factory output grew 9.3% annually in April, which was up from 8.9% in March but still missed expectations for a 9.5% growth rate. COMPANY NEWS: The Supreme Court ruled unanimously that Monsanto's (MON) patented genetically altered soybeans are protected and that farmers cannot use them to create new seeds without paying the company... Dell's (DELL) special committee publicly asked for more information from Carl Icahn and Southeastern Asset Management about their proposed leveraged recapitalization. This request follows television interviews by Icahn last Friday in which he discussed his Dell proposal, as well as a weekend report in Barron's saying the Icahn and Southeastern plan could be a better deal for shareholders. MAJOR MOVERS: Among the notable gainers was Theravance (THRX), up $6.26, or 17.92%, to $41.20 after Elan Corporation (ELN) bought a stake in the potential future royalty payments from four respiratory programs partnered with GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) in exchange for $1B in cash. Also higher was Tesla (TSLA), which rose $11.04, or 14.38%, to $87.80 in its third straight double-digit percentage gain following a better-than-expected earnings report last week. Among the noteworthy losers was Barnes & Noble (BKS), down $2.21, or 9.48%, to $21.10 after the blog InsiderMonkey disputed a previous report about Microsoft's (MSFT) interest in the bookseller's NOOK assets. Also lower was JoS. A. Bank (JOSB), down $3.31, or 7.16%, to $42.90 after the company's first quarter earnings view came in below expectations. INDICES: The Dow was down 26.81, or 0.18%, to 15,091.68; the Nasdaq was up 2.21, or 0.06%, to 3,438.79; and the S&P 500 was nearly unchanged at 1,633.77. |

| 14:24 EDT | | MSFT | Barnes & Noble tumbles after blog pans potential Nook deal
Shares of Barnes & Noble (BKS) are sinking after website Insider Monkey stated that Microsoft (MSFT) doesn't plan to buy the book retailer's NOOK Media unit in the near future. Last Thursday another website, TechCrunch, reported that Microsoft was considering acquiring NOOK Media, which includes NOOK devices and other digital businesses, for $1B. WHAT'S NEW: "Nothing imminent is happening" between Microsoft and NOOK, Insider Monkey quoted a "highly placed source" at Microsoft as saying. TechCrunch's story was "only a rumor," the unnamed source added, according to Insider Monkey. WHAT'S NOTABLE: Microsoft has already invested $300M in NOOK Media in exchange for a stake of about 17% in the unit. The New York Times last week quoted a source as saying that the TechCrunch story was based on valid documents, but that they appeared to be at least several weeks old. The book retailer's stock surged over 20% on Thursday after TechCrunch published its story. TODAY'S PRICE ACTION: In mid-afternoon trading, Barnes & noble fell $2.90, or 12.40%, to $20.40. |

Shares of Barnes & Noble, which had been flat for the session, are now sharply lower, down $2.86, or 12.17%, to $20.45. Reference Link |

| 16:47 EDT | | MSFT | On The Fly: Closing Wrap
Stocks on Wall Street were lower, breaking the recent streak of the Dow and S&P 500 setting new closing highs. The averages moved higher during the afternoon, as the dollar topped the Y100 level for the first time in three years, though the averages fell again and failed to regain positive territory into the close. ECONOMIC EVENTS: In the U.S., jobless claims fell 4K from the prior week to 323K, which was below the consensus 335K claim forecast. Wholesale inventories rose 0.4% in March, which matched expectations. In Asia, Chinese consumer prices increased 2.4% in April, which was just above expectations, and producer prices fell 2.6%, which was more than expected. Also, the Bank of Korea unexpectedly cut its interest rate. COMPANY NEWS: Two heavily shorted stocks, Tesla (TSLA) and Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR), surged after reporting quarterly earnings after yesterday's close. Tesla added $13.61, or 24.4%, to $xx 69.40 after its top and bottom line results beat Street estimates and it raised its full-year vehicle delivery outlook to 21,000 from 20,000 vehicles. Green Mountain shares gained $16.56, or 27.84%, to $76.04 after the company's earning came in better than expected and it announced a long-term strategic partnership with Starbucks. MAJOR MOVERS: Among the notable gainers was Barnes & Noble (BKS), up $4.31, or 24.25%, to $22.08 after a report saying Microsoft (MSFT) is considering acquiring the digital assets of Nook Media. Also higher was News Corp. (NWSA), up $1.43, or 4.49%, to $33.29 after its third quarter earnings were in-line and its revenues topped consensus estimates. Among the noteworthy losers Rackspace (RAX), down $12.88, or 24.66%, to $39.36 after its second quarter revenue missed Street estimates and its stock received downgrades from at least four analyst firms. Also lower following its quarterly report was Monster Beverage (MNST), which fell $2.96, or 5.2%, to $54.01. INDICES: The Dow was down 22.50, or 0.15%, to 15,082.62; the Nasdaq was down 4.10, or 0.12%, to 3,409.17; and the S&P 500 was down 6.02, or 0.37%, to 1,626.67. |

The company said, “While we have had a solid start to the year, we now believe that the risks and uncertainties in the back half of 2013 are more challenging than our earlier view, especially in the holiday quarter. The shift in release dates of competing products, the disappointing launch of the Wii U™, uncertainties regarding next-generation hardware, and subscriber declines in our World of Warcraft business all raise concerns, as do continued challenges in the global economy. For these reasons, we remain cautious. However, our focused and disciplined approach to our business has served us well in the past, and through continued investment and careful management of our costs, we expect to continue delivering shareholder value over the long term as we have for the last 20 years.” |
