On the AT&T presentation at the JPMorgan Global Technology, Media and Telecom Conference, the CEO of AT&T Randall Stephenson said he was disappointed in the mobility business in Q1. Stephenson said "2013 is going to be driven by pretty much the plan we outlined in the first of the year, and that is you are going to continue to see additional penetration, smartphone growth in our mobility business. And first quarter in mobility was probably not our best quarter; I don't think we executed very well in the first quarter. It was a bit disappointing to me." However the CEO is more optimistic about Q2, saying mobility will "look markedly better" than in Q1. | | | 11:37 EDT |  | MSFT | Microsoft replacing Xbox points with gift cards, currency, The Verge reports

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. | | | 13:51 EDT | | NOK | Nokia advances ahead of Lumia event
Nokia shares are higher after it published a YouTube clip to promote its new Lumia device a day before the hand set maker is scheduled to host a product launch event in London. WHAT'S NOTABLE: The YouTube clip is accompanied by text that reads "more than your eyes can see," as it spotlights the camera features of the next addition to the Lumia line-up. PRICE ACTION. Shares of Nokia trading in New York rose 23c, or 6.5%, to $3.90 in early afternoon trading. | | | 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.
