FB... | Hot Stocks20:02 EDT On The Fly: Top five weekend stock stories - Catch up on the weekend's top five stories with this list compiled by The Fly: 1. Less than half of Americans trust Facebook (FB) to obey U.S. privacy laws, according to Reuters, citing a Reuters/Ipsos poll illustrating the challenge facing the social media network after a scandal over its handling of personal information. The poll also found that fewer Americans trust Facebook than other tech companies that gather user data, such as Apple (AAPL), Google (GOOGL, GOOG), Amazon (AMZN), or Microsoft (MSFT), the report added. 2. Tesla (TSLA) has been instructed to "slow down" on car deliveries in Norway this quarter, CEO Elon Musk said, in response to woes it has experienced delivering vehicles, according to CNBC. 3. In its cover story titled "Facebook Comes Under Siege," Barron's said Facebook shares may be more tempting to investors following last week's 14% decline. With more than 2B users, however, Facebook is "almost certain" to not walk away unscathed as the top target for privacy concerns, Jon Swartz wrote. Nonetheless, with nearly $42B in cash and investments, Facebook has the flexibility to diversify into other business lines, as it did with Instagram and WhatsApp, Swartz added. 4. Comcast (CMCSA, CMCSK) subsidiary Universal's "Pacific Rim: Uprising," the sequel to 2013 science fiction action film "Pacific Rim," debuted at number one, with $28M from 2,850 theaters. The film scored 47% from Rotten Tomatoes and got a B CinemaScore from movie audiences. 5. Interactive Borkers (IBKR) and Time Warner (TWX) saw positive mentions in Barron's.

FB | Hot Stocks17:28 EDT Facebook says logging users' call, text history function 'opt-in only' - Responding to media reports that it has been logging users' call and text history without their permission, said in a statement that the function "has always been opt-in only." "You may have seen some recent reports that Facebook has been logging people's call and SMS history without their permission. This is not the case. Call and text history logging is part of an opt-in feature for people using Messenger or Facebook Lite on Android. This helps you find and stay connected with the people you care about, and provide you with a better experience across Facebook. People have to expressly agree to use this feature. If, at any time, they no longer wish to use this feature they can turn it off in settings, or here for Facebook Lite users, and all previously shared call and text history shared via that app is deleted. While we receive certain permissions from Android, uploading this information has always been opt-in only. We introduced this feature for Android users a couple of years ago. Contact importers are fairly common among social apps and services as a way to more easily find the people you want to connect with. This was first introduced in Messenger in 2015, and later offered as an option in Facebook Lite, a lightweight version of Facebook for Android."Reference Link

IMGN MRK | Hot Stocks08:14 EDT ImmunoGen presents data from FORWARD II assessment of Mirvetuximab Soravtansine - ImmunoGen (IMGN) announced encouraging efficacy and favorable tolerability data from the FORWARD II cohort assessing mirvetuximab soravtansine in combination with Merck's (MRK) anti-PD-1 therapy pembrolizumab in patients with platinum-resistant epithelial ovarian cancer. In the subset of 8 patients with medium or high folate receptor alpha expression levels, the confirmed overall response rate was 63%, with a median progression-free survival of 8.6 months. For all patients, the confirmed ORR was 43%, with a median PFS of 5.2 months; patients in this cohort had received a median of 4.5 prior lines of systemic therapy, with 64% of patients receiving 4 or more prior lines. As previously reported, at full dosing, the combination of mirvetuximab and pembrolizumab demonstrates favorable tolerability, consistent with the known safety profiles of each agent, with primarily mild to moderate adverse events observed. Based on these data, ImmunoGen is enrolling an additional 35 patients with medium or high FRalpha expression levels in an expansion cohort in the FORWARD II study.
