Target.com crashes; FTC to block Staples/Office Depot: NYP; Lululemon downgraded

Time for your daily dose of trending tickers, the stocks you're following based on your Yahoo Finance ticker searches.

Staples, Office Depot

Possibly not being able to close a deal moved office supplies retailers lower. Both Staples (SPLS) and Office Depot (ODP) drifted in the red after a report that regulators are preparing to block the acquisition. According to the New York Post, the Federal Trade Commission wants more concessions from Staples - fearing the combined company would be too much of a dominant player in the space. The deal is also being investigated by EU regulators, who are concerned about possible price hikes.

Lululemon

A downgrade on Wall Street had Lululemon (LULU) tumbling. Shares are sharply lower after FBR slashed its rating for the stock to an "underperform" from "market perform." The firm set its price target to $42 a share. That's about a 20 percent downside potential from the last closing price. FBR thinks the yoga wear maker will face margin pressures from increased clearance sales levels.

Target

And on this Cyber Monday, Target (TGT) ran into a problem. Shares of big box retailer were down just like its website was this morning. Target said "high traffic" caused delays and asked customers to "hold tight." The National Retail Federation expects U.S. holiday shopping to rise 3.7 percent this year, boosted by online sales.
