| 06:44 EDT | | GOOG | Google relied on questionable exemption in Waze deal, NY Times says
Google decided not to provide the U.S. government with notice of its acquisition of Israeli mapping company Waze, The New York Times reported yesterday. The notice would have triggered a waiting period during which the government could review any antitrust issues created by the deal. Google relied on an exemption that waives the notice if a foreign company being acquired has sales and assets in the United States of less than $60.9M, the newspaper added. However, Waze's assets in the U.S. probably exceed that level, the Times stated. Reference Link |

| 16:20 EDT |  | NFLX | On The Fly: Closing Wrap
Stocks on Wall Street were higher following a session dominated by speculation over what is next for the Federal Reserve. The averages trimmed their gains after an article by the Financial Times suggested the Fed would signal a tapering of its pace of asset purchases at its Wednesday press conference. The upward trend resumed after the article's author said the report was based on opinion and that, "The Fed does not leak anything to any journalist to steer markets - especially during blackout." ECONOMIC EVENTS: In the U.S., the New York Fed Empire State Survey for June came in at 7.40, versus expectations for a 0 reading. The NAHB housing market confidence index for June rose to 52, versus the forecast for a more modest climb to 45 from its prior 44 reading. In Europe, Germany's Bundesbank said economic indicators for April pointed to robust growth in the second quarter and business sentiment improved in May, though warned of signs that growth in Europe's largest economy would slow over the summer. COMPANY NEWS: Netflix (NFLX) and DreamWorks (DWA) both climbed after announcing a major content deal. Under the agreement, DreamWorks will provide over 300 hours of content to Netflix, which the TV and movie service expects to start broadcasting next year. After the announcement, Netflix rose $15.24, or 7.12%, to $229.23, while DreamWorks added 93c, or 4.08%, to $23.74. MAJOR MOVERS: Among the notable gainers was Kandi Technologies (KNDI), up $1.53, or 24.4%, to $7.80 after saying it will deploy 5K-10K pure electric vehicles in China within the first year of launch. Also higher were shares of ViroPharma (VPHM), up $1.71, or 6.3%, to $28.87 after Reuters said the company has attracted takeover interest, though the company is not pursuing a sale. Among the noteworthy losers was Terex (TEX), down $2.45, or 7.72%, to $29.29 after the company lowered it fiscal year earnings view. Also lower was Medivation (MDVN), down $3.45, or 6.78%, to $47.41 after Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) acquired the company's competitor, privately held Aragon Pharmaceuticals. INDICES: The Dow was up 109.67, or 0.73%, to 15,179.85; the Nasdaq was up 28.57, or 0.83%, to 3,452.13; and the S&P 500 was up 12.31, or 0.76%, to 1,639.04. |

| 11:05 EDT | | NFLX | Netflix, DreamWorks climb after announcing major content deal
Netflix (NFLX) and DreamWorks (DWA) are both surging after Netflix agreed to buy new TV series from DreamWorks. WHAT'S NEW: Netflix will buy new TV series from DreamWorks under a multi-year deal, the two companies announced earlier today. The series will be based on characters created by DreamWorks.

The companies did not divulge the terms of the deal, but noted that the "agreement marks the largest deal for original first-run content in Netflix's history," and that DreamWorks will provide over 300 hours of content to Netflix under the agreement. Netflix is expected to begin broadcasting DreamWorks' content next year. TODAY'S PRICE ACTION: In mid-morning trading, Netflix rose 5.75% to $225, while DreamWorks climbed 4.5% to $23.85. WHAT'S NOTABLE: Netflix recently decided not to renew its deal with Viacom (VIA), from whom it had obtained children's programming? |

ECONOMIC EVENTS: In the U.S., the producer price index for May rose 0.5% from the prior month, versus expectations for a 0.1% month-over-month increase. Core PPI, which excludes the food and energy components, increased 0.1%, matching forecasts.

But unlike government reports, where great pains are taken to make certain no one gets them ahead of time, few rules control release of nongovernmental economic reports. Unknown to many investors, selling early access is routine. It's legal, and so is trading on the advance peeks, reports the Wall Street Journal. Reference Link |

| 12:57 EDT | | GOOG, TWC | On The Fly: Midday Wrap
The Wall Street averages were all up about 1% near midday after the monthly jobs report beat forecasts. ECONOMIC EVENTS: In the U.S., the Labor Department reported employers added 175K jobs in May, beating expectations for 163K added jobs. The unemployment rate rose slightly to 7.6% in May from 7.5% in April, with the uptick attributed to more people entering the workforce. COMPANY NEWS: TiVo (TIVO) confirmed it had settled a patent lawsuit with Google's (GOOG) Motorola unit, Cisco (CSCO) and Time Warner Cable (TWC), as reported by media outlets yesterday. The company also doubled its stock buyback authorization, but TiVo shares, which had been higher yesterday on the initial reports, fell over 17% as the amount of money the company received in the deal fell short of analyst expectations. MAJOR MOVERS: Among the notable gainers were JinkoSolar (JKS) and Thor Industries (THO), which both gained over 10% following their earnings reports. Also higher were shares of Yum! Brands (YUM), which rose nearly 3% after UBS upgraded the stock to Buy. Among the losers were a number of companies that had hoped to convert to real estate investment trusts after the IRS formed a group to study issues relating to REIT conversions. Notably, Iron Mountain (IRM) fell almost 16%, Copart (CPRT) dropped over 6%, and Equinix (EQIX) slid over 5%. INDICES: Near 1 pm ET, the Dow was up 168.95, or 1.12%, to 15,209.57; the Nasdaq was up 35.12, or 1.03%, to 3,459.17; and the S&P 500 was up 15.41, or 0.95%, to 1,637.97. |

Lazard Capital says it makes sense to assume that TiVo (TIVO) received favorable terms in its settlement with Google's (GOOG) Motorola as it had no reason to settle for less. The firm estimates the settlement will be worth a pre-tax NPV of $807M, or $484M after-tax, equal to $3.44 per TiVo share. Lazard Capital says shares of TiVo are likely to move near its $17 price target should its settlement assumptions prove right. |
