Meanwhile, GSK (NYSE: GSK) saw its stock rise on a potential settlement in a long-standing case with big implications for the company. Read on to learn more about both companies.
Shares of CarMax rose 7% early Friday. The car dealer reported fiscal first-quarter financial results for the period ended May 31 that reflected the tough economy but suggested the potential for better times ahead.
