19:31 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. JD.com (JD) CEO Liu Qiangdong was arrested Friday in Minnesota on suspicion of sexual misconduct but then released, according to the official website of the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office. Responding to "rumors," the company issued a statement on Weibo saying, "During a business trip to the United States, Mr. Liu was questioned by police in Minnesota in relation to an unsubstantiated accusation. The local police quickly determined there was no substance to the claim against Mr. Liu, and he was subsequently able to resume his business activities as originally planned." According to the Wall Street Journal, Liu earlier this year tried to keep his name out of a criminal case in Australia where a man was accused of sexually assaulting a woman he had met at a party at the CEO's Sydney home in 2015. Liu wasn't accused of wrongdoing, the Journal added. 2. Former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who sparked controversy by kneeling during the national anthem to protest racial injustice, will be the face of a Nike (NKE) ad campaign for the 30th anniversary of its "Just Do It" motto, according to ESPN. 3. The tech sector is about to get smaller, which could be good news for tech investors as some prominent companies will migrate out of the information-technology and consumer-discretionary sectors and into a new communication-services sector, Ben Levisohn wrote in this week's edition of Barron's. Alphabet (GOOG; GOOGL) and Facebook (FB) are among those making the switch, the report added. While the changes being made to the Global Industry Classification Standard, or GICS, system seem purely semantic, they do have the potential to create short-term noise, creating opportunities for investors prepared for the shifts, Levisohn noted. 4. AT&T (T) subsidiary Warner Bros' "Crazy Rich Asians" led this weekend's box office once again with $28M in its third outing, to boast the best gross for the long holiday weekend in over a decade and the third best of all time, not adjusted for inflation. "Crazy Rich Asians" earned an A CinemaScore and sports a 92% Rotten Tomatoes score. 5. Salesforce (CRM), Kansas City Southern (KSU), and Best Buy (BBY) saw positive mentions in Barron's.
