Bud's bid; Media General counter; Vodafone talks end; American Apparel delisting letter

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

Anheuser-Busch InBev (BUD)  Two British newspapers are reporting the world's biggest beermaker could make a bid for #2 SABMiller as soon as this week.  The two brewers announced two weeks ago the maker of Budweiser might make a play for its main rival.

Media General (MEG) Nexstar Broadcasting Group (NXST) group is making a bid for the TV-station owner.  Nexstar says its offer is better for Media General shareholders than the agreement Media General made earlier this month to buy Meredith (MDP). Nexstar's $14.50 a share offer is a 30% premium to Media General's closing price on Friday.

Williams Companies (WMB) The energy company was sold to Energy Transfer Equity for $32.6 billion. The agreement values Williams Companies shares at $43.50 cents each.  That's a little less than $2 above Friday's closing price.

Vodafone (VOD) The British telecom giant is ending talks to swap assets with UK cable provider Liberty Global (LBTYK).  The two sides apparently could not agree on the value of their businesses.  The talks were announced back in June, and Liberty head John Malone had told Bloomberg the two companies were a great fit.

Cal-Maine Foods (CALM) The country's largest egg producer missed profit estimates, but revenue came in higher than expected in its fiscal first quarter. Cal-Maine says sales soared 71% as egg prices rose...but noted the industry is still feeling the effects of bird flu in the Midwest which has limited production.

American Apparel (APP) The New York Stock Exchange has filed a notice of delisting with the retailer, suggesting it execute a reverse stock split to shore up the value of its shares.  The company has until October 9th to explain how it plans to meet NYSE listing requirements. American Apparel has been trying to stay out of bankruptcy as it continues a long, drawn-out battle with founder and former CEO Dov Charney.
