19:20 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. Boeing (BA) did not tell Southwest Airlines (LUV), the largest MAX customer, when the airline began flying 737 MAX jets in 2017 that a standard safety feature, found on earlier models and designed to warn pilots about malfunctioning sensors, had been deactivated, Andy Pasztor of Wall Street Journal reported. Federal Aviation Administration safety inspectors and supervisors responsible for monitoring Southwest were also unaware of the change, Pasztor added, citing government and industry officials. Following the Lion Air crash, Southwest asked Boeing to reactivate the alerts on planes already in its fleet. This move, along with questions about why they had been turned off, prompted FAA inspectors overseeing Southwest to consider recommending that the airline's MAX fleet be grounded while they assessed whether pilots needed additional training about the alerts, the journalist added. However, the internal FAA discussions were brief and didn't go up the chain, according to documents reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. 2. Donald Trump said at a rally that Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe told him Japan is investing $40B in new car factories in the U.S., according to Reuters. Publicly traded companies in the space include Daimler AG (DDAIF), Fiat Chrysler (FCAU), Ford (F), General Motors (GM), Honda (HMC), Nissan (NSANY), Toyota (TM) and Volkswagen (VWAGY). 3. Although its first-quarter results showed sales growth, especially in emerging markets, some analysts believe that Unilever (UN; UL) could run into the same issues as Kraft Heinz (KHC), which recently acknowledged that its pursuit of more profit had led it to underinvest in some of its brands, Rupert Steiner wrote in this week's edition of Barron's. 4. Disney (DIS) and Marvel's "Avengers: Endgame" smashed numerous box office records in its $1.2B worldwide launch, easily topping the previous record $640.5M debut of "Avengers: Infinity War" a year ago. It was also the biggest opening in North America with $350M, beating "Infinity War" at $257.6M. The superhero pic earned a massive $156.7M on its first Friday, including $60M in Thursday evening previews, to easily topple the mark set by "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" on its first Friday with $119M, and $57M in previews. The movie sports an A+ CinemaScore and a 96% Rotten Tomatoes. 5. A.O. Smith (AOS), Xylem (XYL) saw positive mentions in this week's edition of Barron's.

12:32 EDT Gannett 'urges' shareholders vote For All director nominees in open letter - Gannett sent an open letter to shareholders "urging" shareholders to vote "FOR ALL" of the company's director nominees on the WHITE proxy card in connection with Gannett's 2019 annual meeting of shareholders scheduled to be held on May 16, 2019. In the open letter, the company said that, "At the upcoming Annual Meeting on May 16, 2019, you will make a very important decision regarding the composition of the Gannett board that will shape the future of the company and have a lasting impact on the value of your investment. In recent weeks, we have appreciated having the opportunity to speak with many of you about our ongoing digital transformation and the progress we are seeing, as well as the efforts by MNG Enterprises, a direct competitor of Gannett, and its majority shareholder Alden Global Capital to take control of the company by installing their own directors, officers, colleagues and friends on the Gannett board - all while touting an unsolicited proposal to buy Gannett that they cannot finance or close. Now, in a last-ditch, desperate effort, MNG has announced that it is reducing the number of candidates that it is nominating for election to Gannett's eight-member board from six to three. Importantly, the number of MNG nominees does not matter, as each of the three remaining MNG candidates still has irreconcilable conflicts of interest given each nominee's close affiliations with MNG and/or Alden, and cannot be expected to act in the best interests of all Gannett shareholders. [...] In contrast, all eight of Gannett's director nominees are FULLY independent and bring broad and diverse backgrounds, professional experience and skills in areas that are critical to Gannett's business and future success. We believe that electing even one of MNG's nominees to the Gannett board would put the value of your investment at risk. Your vote is very important. We encourage you to protect the value of your investment in Gannett by voting "FOR ALL" of your board's eight independent nominees on the WHITE proxy card."
