STOCKS IN THE NEWS Source: Thomson Reuters Barrick Gold Corp. (ABX):
The miner said first-quarter production fell 17.7% from the previous three months, hurt by lower output at its Carlin and Cortez mines
Barrick said gold output was lower because of a mechanical mill failure at its Carlin and Cortez mines and a depletion of stockpiled higher grade underground ore
The company, which is scheduled to release its first-quarter results on May 4, said the average market price for gold in the quarter was $1,877 per ounce, up from $1,795 per ounce in the prior quarter
Barrick said it expects the company's all-in sustaining costs (AISC) for gold, a key industry metric, to be 19% to 21% higher from the fourth quarter
Twitter Inc. (TWTR) & Tesla Inc. (TSLA):
Billionaire Elon Musk has offered to buy Twitter for about $41 billion in cash, saying the social media company he has often criticized needs to go private to see effective changes
Musk's offer price of $54.20 per share, which was disclosed in a regulatory filing, represents a 38% premium to Twitter's April 1 close, the last trading day before the Tesla CEO's more than 9% stake in the company was made public
The total deal value was calculated based on 763.58 million shares outstanding, according to Refinitiv data
"Since making my investment I now realize the company will neither thrive nor serve this societal imperative in its current form. Twitter needs to be transformed as a private company," Musk said in a letter to Twitter Chairman Bret Taylor
Meanwhile, a federal judge said on Wednesday Tesla was liable to a Black elevator operator who said the electric car company ignored racial abuse at the factory where he worked, but reduced a nearly $137 million jury award to $15 million
