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

BHP Billiton (BHP) is in focus this morning. Brazilian authorities are expected to sue iron ore miner Samarco and its co-owners BHP Billiton and Vale (VALE) for $5.2 billion in damages related to the company's mine disaster in the southeastern state of Minas Gerais earlier this month.

Anheuser-Busch InBev (BUD) may be looking to sell SABMiller's Peroni and Grolsch brands in an effort to ease European regulatory concerns for its proposed acquisition of SAB-Miller.

Fitbit (FIT) shares are sharply higher in early trading. Barclays upgraded the maker of wearable fitness devices to "overweight" from "equal-weight." The firm pointed out that the slide in Fitbit shares over the past month has been unjustified.

Microsoft (MSFT) is also getting a vote of confidence. Raymond James raised its rating of the tech giant to “strong buy” from “market perform” and gave the stock a $62 price target. The firm says it expects Microsoft to be a winner in the cloud space.

Amazon (AMZN) and other retailers (WMT) (TGT) (M) are in the spotlight on Cyber Monday. Experts predict this year will be the first time online sales for Cyber Monday will hit a total of $3 billion.
