Winners and losers

Stocks in the green include Boeing as it struck a deal to sell four Poseidon surveillance jets to the New Zealand government for $1.6 billion; GameStop, as Jefferies initiates coverage with a Buy rating and $18 price target claiming it’s on the way to transforming its business; and Groupon, with shares flying on a Recode report that it has contacted several public companies in the past month to try to drum up interest in acquiring it.
