The stock market is down Monday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average down 0.33%, the Nasdaq down 0.62% and the S&P 500 down 0.46%. Today’s winners include a telecommunications equipment provider filing a patent lawsuit and a popular content-streaming company upgraded by a major bank. Today’s losers are a prepaid card likely to lose business from its biggest revenue provider and a biotechnology firm that will come in with weaker revenue in the third quarter than previously expected.
