Micron Technology, Inc. (MU), Expedia Inc (EXPE), Tyson Foods, Inc. (TSN): Today’s Best Stocks

For the quarter, chicken and beef prices soared 6.7% and 7.1%, respectively. As long as it can command pricing power like this, Tyson Foods, Inc. (NYSE:TSN) could have room to run higher.

Finally, online travel service company Expedia Inc (NASDAQ:EXPE) shook off its recent weakness and advanced 3.2%. Expedia Inc (NASDAQ:EXPE) shares bombed last month after reporting a 28% decline in year-over-year profits as selling and marketing expenses rose by 33%. Expedia Inc (NASDAQ:EXPE) had been successfully pushing overseas like its main rival Priceline.com Inc (NASDAQ:PCLN). However, the cost of competing for deals is finally starting to weigh down the company. With a vast majority of Priceline.com Inc (NASDAQ:PCLN)’s revenue coming from overseas, it still remains the prime play in online bookings while Expedia Inc (NASDAQ:EXPE) will need to show a paring back in its expenses if it hopes to regain investors’ trust.
