20:11 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. Sanderson Farms (SAFM) is nearing a deal to sell itself for around $4.5 billion, The Wall Street Journal's Cara Lombardo and Jacob Bunge report, citing people familiar with the matter. Sanderson is in advanced talks with Cargill Inc. and agricultural-investment firm Continental Grain Co., which owns a smaller chicken processor, the people said. The deal could be finalized by Monday, they added. 2. Norwegian Cruise Line (NCLH) reported that Judge Williams ruled in its favor granting a preliminary injunction which paves the way for the company's three brands to require documentation confirming a guest's vaccination status prior to boarding. This order will now allow the company to operate with 100% vaccination of all guests and crew when sailing from Florida ports. The company's first sailing from Florida is scheduled on August 15, 2021 on Norwegian Gem departing from Miami. 3. The Delta variant and the surge of new infections is scrambling the return to the office plans, with Apple (AAPL), BlackRock (BLK), Wells Fargo (WFC), Alphabet's (GOOGL) Google, Facebook (FB), Amazon (AMZN) postponing their plans, and Walmart (WMT) requiring all corporate employees to be vaccinated, Daren Fonda wrote in this week's edition of Barron's. Nonetheless, Barron's says it found eight stocks that look attractive across three sectors with some of the biggest exposure to the back-to-work theme, namely real estate, consumer spending, and technology. Those stocks are Hudson Pacific Properties (HPP), Boston Properties (BXP), Ross Stores (ROST), WW International (WW), Starbucks (SBUX), Ruth's Hospitality Group (RUTH), Microsoft (MSFT) and Cisco (CSCO). 4. AT&T (T) subsidiary Warner Bros. "The Suicide Squad" won this weekend's domestic box office with a less-than-expected opening of $26.5M amid challenges posed by the Delta variant and a hybrid theatrical-home launch. Overseas, the movie earned about $35M from 71 markets for a foreign cume of $45.7M and a global tally of $72.2M. 5. Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.A, RDS.B), Jacobs Engineering Group (J), Tetra Tech (TTEK), Parsons (PSN), Montrose Environmental Group (MEG), Atlas Technical Consultants (ATCX), Carrier Global (CARR), Lennox International (LII), Trane Technologies (TT), Johnson Controls (JCI), Spectrum Brands (SPB), and Nokia (NOK) saw positive mentions in this week's edition of Barron's.
