• Uber (NYSE:UBER) stock tumbled 6.9%, extending the decline of nearly 8% that the company registered on its first day of trade last Friday. Its ride-hailing rival Lyft (NASDAQ:LYFT) was indicated to open down another 3.1% - a loss of 30% from its IPO price in March.
• Teva Pharmaceutical (NYSE:TEVA) stock sank 8.7% after the company was named in a lawsuit for allegedly fixing drug prices.
