Weight Watchers buyer? Nike's World Cup move; Humana warning

Here are some of the stocks the Yahoo Finance team is following for you today.

Weight Watchers (WTW) Shares are soaring in the early going after the New York Post reported an activist hedge fund is talking with potential partners about a takeover offer. Shares of Weight Watchers have plummeted 81% this year as Fitbit (FIT) and other electronic health aids have eaten into the company's subscriber base.

Nike (NKE) The biggest athletic apparel maker is capitalizing on its sponsorship of the American women's soccer team, which captured the world cup by beating Japan 5 to 2 yesterday. The company immediately released an updated version of its team clothing line, adding a third star to represent the third time the U.S. has won the world title.

Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) Shares of the high-flying restaurant chain may come tumbling down more after declines over the last several months.  That's according to an article in Barron's.  The magazine says the stock could see another 15 to 20% plunge unless growth picks up. Shares of Chipotle have already lost about 16% of their value since peaking in February.

eBay (EBAY) The stock is up in the pre-market. Paypal CEO Dan Schulman tells the Financial Times his firm will be on the hunt for international acquisitions once it is spun off from eBay later this month. Schulman says he will make acquisitions a priority in order to drive growth and keep competitors at bay.

Humana (HUM) Shares are higher ahead of the bell.  It was announced over the holiday weekend that the insurance company is being bought by larger rival Aetna (AET) for $37 billion. However, today Humana is warning second quarter and full year profit will be well below analysts' estimates.
