Regions Financial (NYSE:RF) +1.8% premarket after WSJ reported over the weekend that the bank is close to a deal to sell its Morgan Keegan investment banking and brokerage unit for ~$1B. The price would be much less than the bank had once expected, and it isn't clear which of the reported bidders, Raymond James (NYSE:RJF) or Stifel Financial (NYSE:SF), is the favorite.
