- Thursday, June 13, 10:10 AM Shares of Barnes & Noble (BKS -4.4%) continue to trek lower off of a report that Microsoft isn't interested in Nook Media's digital assets after all. Speculation has gone back and forth on what Microsoft plans to do with B&N, but it's been over a year since the company invested $300M in Nook Media without anything panning out yet. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move, Tech]
- Wednesday, June 12, 4:16 PM Microsoft (MSFT) isn't interested in Nook Media's (BKS -6.1%) digital assets, sources tell dealReporter. The report led Barnes & Noble shares to dive over the final 15 minutes of trading. TechCrunch reported of Microsoft's interest in Nook Media last month, but a source later told Insider Monkey Microsoft "has no intention" of making a deal. Comment! [Tech, Consumer, On the Move, M&A]

Tuesday, May 28, 6:17 PM
After-hours top gainers, as of 5:45 p.m.: GWRE +5.7%. WLH +4.7%. WTSL +4.2%. IVC +4.1%. MYGN +3.8%.
After-hours top losers: PRXI -5.2%. BKS -4.6%. PXP -4.2%. IRC -3.4%. AEC -2.5%. Comment! [On the Move] - Tuesday, May 14, 8:45 AM Barnes & Noble (BKS) falls 4.6% premarket as traders try to sort out what kind of premium to place on shares for the potential of an eventual buyout by Microsoft of Nook Media. With dueling sources saying different things on the likelihood of a deal, BKS trades near the mid-point of its post-rumor rally. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
- Monday, May 13, 1:52 PM "This deal was nothing more than a rumor ... [Microsoft] has no intention of acquiring the NOOK unit. NOOK is closely integrated with Android ... The acquisition is not happening in the foreseeable future as Microsoft Corporation is assessing its options at this time." Thus speaks a Microsoft (MSFT) source to Insider Monkey, strongly refuting a TechCrunch report about an offer to buy Nook Media's digital assets for $1B. Barnes & Noble (BKS -14.1%) shares have plunged, but for now are still up 13% from where they stood prior to the report. 3 Comments [Tech, M&A, On the Move, Consumer]
- Monday, May 13, 1:33 PM Barnes & Noble (BKS -9.9%) spikes lower after Insider Monkey reports that a source inside Microsoft indicates nothing is imminent from the company on a plan to buy Nook Media. 1 Comment [Consumer, On the Move, Tech]
- Thursday, May 9, 9:30 AM Investors are racing ahead of analysts over a potential deal by Microsoft to buy Barnes & Noble's (BKS) Nook Media digital assets outright. Stifel Nicolaus analyst David Schick warns it's not clear if B&N's board has even seen the offer and what the full impact will be for the remaining trimmed-down company. No bother, BKS +27.7% premarket anyway. Comment! [Consumer, Tech, On the Move, M&A]

Thursday, May 9, 9:10 AM
Premarket gainers: BKS +29%. TSLA +24%. CTRP +17%. GMCR +15%. GRPN +15%. XOMA +12%. TC +12%. OWW +7%. AFFY +7%. WAC +7%.
Losers: LPSN -22%. RAX -21%. PZZI -17%. GV -11%. MNST -10%. SSNC -7%. HEK -7%. 2 Comments [On the Move] - Thursday, May 9, 7:29 AM Investors of Barnes & Noble (BKS) caught the break they were looking for when Microsoft reportedly offered $1B to buy Nook Media's e-reader, tablet, and e-book operations. Shares of B&N are up 25.2% premarket to $22.25. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
- Monday, March 11, 10:41 AM Barnes & Noble (BKS +1.3%) breaks higher, fueled by chatter that a M&A adviser has been hired by the company to help it explore strategic options. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
- Monday, March 4, 9:49 AM Will Microsoft buy Barnes & Noble (BKS +5.8%)? The bookstore chain shoots higher in early trading after a Barron's article pitches the case that the retail business is worth $19 a share alone. The crux of the argument is that Microsoft (MSFT -0.2%) would be smart to buy the company to jumpstart its retail business and set up a store-within-a-store concept to boost sales of its tablets. 8 Comments [Consumer, Tech, On the Move]
- Thursday, February 28, 10:28 AM Heard during Barnes & Noble's (BKS +3%) earnings call: 1) Further steps to reduce Nook Media costs will be undertaken with underlying profitability an issue. 2) On the hardware business, the company concedes the market has shifted toward a consumer preference for multi-function tablets away from e-readers and that big players are "resonating" in the market more than B&N. The company will "adjust" quickly. 3) Contrary to news reports, the company says it will not accelerate store closings with 95% of its stores still profitable. A new store concept may be tested. (webcast) 3 Comments [Consumer, On the Move]
- Thursday, February 28, 9:03 AM More on Barnes & Noble's (BKS) FQ3: Revenue fell off faster in the Nook segment (-25.9%) than Retail (-10.3%) or College (-1.3%) as the company puts in another disappointing quarter. Digital content sales only increased 6.8% for the period, a mark which fails to live up to the promises for the business. For FY13, comparable bookstore sales are expected to decline in the low- to mid-single digits. A strategic review of Leonard Riggio's offer for the retail business is ongoing. BKS -3.8% premarket. (PR) Comment! [Consumer, On the Move, Earnings]

Midday top 10 gainers: ENMD +26%. OBCI +25%. GALT +19%. APPY +15%. NTWK +12%. BKS +12%. ZNGA +11%. HXM +10%. MGN +10%. CMGE +9%.
Midday top 10 losers: AFFY -86%. CEDC -55%. DVAX -33%. GGS -31%. GMXR -24%. TROV -17%. EMITF -16%. ESI -14%. FRO -14%. XRSC -13%. Comment! [On the Move] - Monday, February 25, 10:50 AM Nook hardware: down and perhaps soon out. While Barnes & Noble (BKS +8.4%) jumps thanks to chairman Leonard Riggio's retail buyout offer, the NYT reports B&N's poor holiday season sales have led execs to believe "the company must move away" from hardware development in favor of content licensing. "They are not completely getting out of the hardware business, but they are going to lean a lot more on the comprehensive digital catalog of content," says a source. Amazon (AMZN +0.1%), which has been taking e-reader share from B&N, stands to benefit. 1 Comment [Tech, On the Move, Consumer]
- Monday, February 25, 7:41 AM Barnes & Noble (BKS) says its Strategic Committee will review an offer from Chairman Leonard Riggio to buy out the retail side of the business. Evercore Partners has been hired to run the numbers on the deal. BKS +17.7% premarket to $15.90. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
