| 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. |

| 14:55 EDT | | TOSBF | FTC approves modified final order on Western Digital purchase
The Federal Trade Commission approved and issued a modified final decision and order settling charges that Western Digital’s (WDC) proposed acquisition of rival Hitachi Global Technologies would have been anticompetitive in the market for hard disk drives used in desktop PCs. The proposed order settling the FTC’s charges, first announced on March 5, 2012, required Western Digital to sell assets used to manufacture and sell desktop computer hard disk drives to Toshiba (TOSBF) to resolve the agency’s competition concerns. The FTC has approved several modifications to the proposed order to incorporate adjustments that Western Digital and Toshiba Corporation, the buyer of the divested assets, made in the transaction documents. The final order provides for the additional time Western Digital required to complete the divestiture in order to obtain the necessary approvals from other relevant competition authorities and also includes revised production and asset transfer schedules, and extended time in which Western Digital will have access to certain employees. The FTC has also approved changes to the Divestiture Agreement and Contract Manufacturing Agreement to reflect the changes to the remedial agreements made by Western Digital and Toshiba Corporation. |
