Apple's Cook comments on Watch sales, Ford taps debt market, menopause drug passes key trial

Here are some of the stocks the Yahoo Finance team will be watching for you today.

Ford (F) is getting set to tap the debt market for the first time in four years. Ford plans to raise $2.8 billion through the sale of 10- and 30-year bonds. The proceeds will be used to fund investments in new technology including self-driving cars.

AutoZone (AZO) shares were higher in early trading. The auto parts retailer is reporting better-than-expected earnings for its fiscal first quarter, marking its 41st straight quarter of double-digit growth in earnings per share. Revenue was up more than 3% from a year ago, but slightly missed estimates

McDonald’s (MCD) stock is in focus this morning. Reuters is reporting that the fast-food chain plans to raise up to $2 billion from the sale of its China and Hong Kong stores but still retain a 25% stake in the business.

TherapeuticsMD (TXMD) shares soared in early trading after the drug maker said its menopause drug reduced hot flashes and other symptoms in a late-stage trial.

Apple (AAPL) shares got a nice pop in early trading. CEO Tim Cook said sales of the Apple Watch are setting a record in the current quarter. Cook also tells Reuters in an email that Apple Watch sales during the first week of holiday shopping were greater than any week in the product’s history. This all comes after a report from research firm IDC estimating Apple sold 1.1 million watches in the third quarter, down 71% from a year earlier.
