23% to $20.81 premarket.
Freeport-McMoRan said it would sell its stake in an African

it expects to report its first-quarter earnings earlier than its
deadline to avoid defaulting on its debt agreements. Shares were up
4.4% at $31.21 premarket.

in revenue as some of its medications lost exclusivity, though
expenses also fell, driving profit upward. Shares rose 5.2% to
$52.90 premarket.
Tyson Foods Inc. (TSN) raised its profit forecast for the year,
as the meat supplier reported better-than-expected earnings and
revenue in the second quarter, helped by continued strong consumer
demand.

first quarter amid higher spending, though revenue at the online
home-goods retailer soared 76%, topping Wall Street views.
Sotheby's (BID) reported a much deeper-than-expected loss in the
first quarter of the year as the company reported a 35% decline in
net auction sales, driving a 33% slide in auction commission
revenue.

poison pill as part of its defense to try to stop Gannett Co. (GCI)
