US STOCKS-Wall St ekes out gains; global growth worries linger
U.S. stocks edged higher on Monday, pulling back from their session lows, as shares of industrial and consumer discretionary companies rose, but gains were kept in check by worries of a global slowdown. Weak factory data from the United States, Europe and Japan on Friday triggered a sell-off in U.S. equities and also led to the inversion of U.S. Treasury yield curve for the first time since 2007. Yields on U.S. 10-year treasury yields rose slightly on Monday after data showed German business morale improved unexpectedly in March, but spreads between U.S. three-month and 10-year Treasury yields modestly inverted as the session progressed.

Stock repurchases reach longest quarterly record streak on record--S&P Dow Jones Indices
Stock repurchases during the fourth quarter set a fourth-consecutive quarterly record for S&P 500 companies, according to S&P Dow Jones Indices, the longest such streak in the 20 years that records have been tracked. Fourth-quarter buybacks totaled $223.0 billion, up 62.8% from $137.0 billion in the same period a year ago, and 9.4% more than the previous record of $203.8 billion in the third quarter. For the year, repurchases set an annual record of $806.4 billion, up 55.3% from 2017. Total shareholder returns, including dividends, rose 34.5% to $1.26 trillion. "Companies continued to spend more of their tax savings on these share repurchases as they boosted earnings through significantly reduced share counts," said Howard Silverblatt, senior index analyst at S&P Dow Jones Indices. "Adding to the share reduction, and therefore the EPS impact, was Q4's stock price decline, which permitted companies to buy even more shares for their dollars and reduce share count more efficiently." The S&P 500 has tumbled 14.0% during the fourth quarter, the biggest quarterly decline since it shed 14.3% during the third quarter of 2011.

Global Markets: Positive German data tempers equity selloff, safe havens in demand
The Ifo Institute's March business climate index unexpectedly rose, soothing nerves after the country's dismal manufacturing data on Friday helped spark a global selloff that hammered stock markets and pushed key benchmark bond yields below zero. Crucially, an inversion in the U.S. bond yield curve on Friday had stoked fears that the world's largest economy was headed for recession. The Ifo report cushioned some of the falls for European stocks with indexes in Frankfurt and Paris easing 0.2 percent.

Proteostasis Therapeutics's stock plunges to pace all decliners after results of CF treatment trial disappoint
Shares of Proteostasis Therapeutics Inc. plunged 58% on heavy volume in morning trade Monday, enough to pace all decliners trading on major U.S. exchanges, after biopharmaceutical company announced results from a phase 1 study of its cystic fibrosis (CF) treatment. Trading volume ballooned to 7.6 million shares, compared with the full-day average of 1.2 million shares. The company said the increase in ppFEV1 at day 14 of a statistically significant 5 percentage points versus baseline was observed in the 600 milligram PTI-801 cohort. Analyst Geoffrey Porges at SVB Leerink said the results CF did not meet the efficacy of Vertex Pharmaceuticals Inc.'s medicines, as that 5% was below the 13%-14% hurdle established by Vertex. Porges believes the results of Proteostasis' trial removes the final "long-shot competitor" to Vertex's CF portfolio. Vertex shares gained 1.0% in morning trade. Proteostasis's stock has lost 66.3% over the past 12 months, while Vertex shares have rallied 13.8% and the S&P 500 has gained 7.8%.

US STOCKS-Wall St falls on global economic slowdown fears
Wall Street's main indexes fell on Monday, dragged down by declines in high-growth technology shares, as fears of a global slowdown roiled the market for the second straight session. Yields on U.S. 10-year treasury yields modestly rose on Monday after data showed German business morale improved unexpectedly in March, but spreads between U.S. three-month and 10-year Treasury yields moved closer again to inversion. "Markets are not overcoming concerns of the global economic climate and the fact that the 3-month treasury yields rose above that of the 10-year notes, creating an inversion," said Robert Pavlik, chief investment strategist and senior portfolio manager at SlateStone Wealth LLC in New York.

Weight Watchers stock extends selloff; Oppenheimer expects new marking campaign to correct 'missteps'
Shares of WW, formerly known as Weight Watchers International Inc. , shed 1.8% toward a fresh 2-year low in morning trade Monday, after Oppenheimer analyst Brian Nagel said that while they not track a "very reasonable" valuation, they are "apt to trade sideways" until there is evidence that subscriber growth is emerging. After a meeting with management on Friday, Nagel said the company now understands that the shortfall in subscriber growth in early 2019 is likely the result of not adequately communication the message about the shift to more of a wellness company than a weight loss company. He said the company is set to launch a new marketing campaign to correct the missteps of its messaging. And while the company is prudently watching expenses, it is not planning significant cost-cutting moves. The stock has plunged 52.6% over the past three months, while the S&P 500 has climbed 18.5%.
