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. | | | 13:38 EDT | | MSFT | Microsoft, Barnes & Noble NOOK deal unlikely, InsiderMonkey says
A report by InsiderMonkey, citing a "highly placed source inside Microsoft (MSFT)," says reports last week that Microsoft may look to acquire buy Barnes & Noble's (BKS) NOOK Media assets were only a rumor, with the source adding that "[Microsoft] has no intention of acquiring the NOOK unit." 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 | | | 12:20 EDT | | DELL | On The Fly: Midday Wrap

Dell's Special Committee issued a statement regarding a proposal it has received from Carl Icahn and Southeastern Asset Management. The statement read: "Mr. Icahn and Southeastern have outlined a potential leveraged recapitalization transaction that they want the Dell Board either to recommend at this time or to consider if the existing going-private transaction is rejected by Dell shareholders. They have also proposed replacing the Board with a slate of new directors who they say would approve such a transaction. Consistent with the Special Committee’s goal of achieving the best possible outcome for all shareholders, we and our advisors are carefully reviewing the potential transaction to assess the potential risks and rewards to the public shareholders." | | | 13:05 EDT | | DELL | Dell committee says 'carefully reviewing' Icahn transaction
