Winners and losers

Stocks in the red include Bed Bath & Beyond, with shares getting crushed as the housewares retailer reported an earnings beat, though comp sales were down year over year; Bristol-Myers Squibb on the heels of a note from Citigroup that Pfizer chief Ian Read has ‘no interest’ in acquiring BMY because it’s ‘not worth the price;’ and L Brands, with shares dropping despite March comp sales rising 4%, plus weakness at its Victoria’s Secret PINK sub-brand has investors concerned.

Stocks in the green include Delta Airlines as the airline beat on earnings but reported costs were higher thanks to a jump in fuel prices; Snap as Barclays advises adding shares ahead of Q1 earnings, citing revenue upside; and Costco on the rise as it reported a jump in March sales of over 10%, with e-commerce soaring over 33%.
