19:17 EDT Fly Intel: Top five weekend stock stories - Catch up on the weekend's top five stories with this list compiled by The Fly: 1. E-commerce is transforming the grocery business, forcing cash-strapped companies to overhaul their operations and invest heavily in technology and talent to keep customers from straying to Amazon (AMZN), while having to keep food prices low, The Wall Street Journal's Heather Haddon reported. The transition has proven rough for Kroger (KR), which stayed focused on store sales long after mass-merchant competitors were investing in online-ordering technology and delivery services, the publication noted. Further, sales at Kroger have grown more slowly than at Walmart (WMT) and Target (TGT), which have more robust online operations, Haddon said, adding that Kroger has now turned to acquisitions to boost its digital reach. 2. As Tesla (TSLA) faces questions about whether demand for the Model 3 compact car is slowing, CEO Elon Musk wants investors to focus on vehicles driving themselves in a robot-taxi fleet, The Wall Street Journal's Tim Higgins reported. Musk is gathering investors Monday to reveal the electric car maker's latest efforts to develop self-driving car technology and his strategy for deploying it, just two days before Tesla reports quarterly financial results, which are expected to show a loss on slumping vehicle sales, the publication added. 3. Investing in health insurers today amounts to a bet against the Medicare for All proposal championed by Senator Bernie Sanders and other Democrats running for president, Andrew Bary wrote in this week's edition of Barron's. While the stocks have been battered, given the long odds of an industry-killing plan becoming law, shares of the leading insurers - UnitedHealth (UNH), Anthem (ANTM), Cigna (CI), Humana (HUM) and CVS (CVS) - look appealing, Bary contended. The stocks trade for an average of just 12 times projected 2019 earnings and UnitedHealth, Anthem, and Humana already are generating double-digit growth in earnings per share, he added. 4. AT&T (T) subsidiary Warner Bros' "The Curse of La Llorona" opened ahead of expectations with $26.5M to easily win the weekend. This was, however, the worst Easter at the domestic box office in 14 years as Hollywood studios held back releasing bigger event pics. Overseas, "The Curse of La Llorona" took in $30M from 71 markets for a global bow of $56.4M. The movie sports a B- CinemaScore and a 32% Rotten Tomatoes score. 5. Spotify (SPOT), Boston Beer (SAM) and Pinterest (PINS) were mentioned cautiously in this week's edition of Barron's.

08:41 EDT Boeing says NY Times story paints 'skewed and inaccurate picture' - Brad Zaback, vice president and general manager of Boeing's 787 Program, sent an email Saturday to all South Carolina employees which read in part, "A story that posted in today's New York Times, however, paints a skewed and inaccurate picture of the program and of our team here at Boeing South Carolina. This article features distorted information, rehashing old stories and rumors that have long ago been put to rest. I want all BSC teammates to know that we invited the New York Times to visit Boeing South Carolina once they contacted us, so that they could see first-hand the great work that is done here. They declined this invitation. The allegations of poor quality are especially offensive to me because I know the pride in workmanship that each of you pours into your work every day...It's unfortunate and disappointing that the New York Times chose to publish this misleading story. This story, however, does not define us. Our company and our customers recognize the talent, skill and dedication of this excellent Boeing South Carolina team that works together to assemble and deliver incredible airplane."
