The stock market is up Monday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average up 0.45%, the Nasdaq up 0.36% and the S&P 500 up 0.58%. Today’s market winners include both a coffee company and a software firm getting bought out, while today’s sole loser is a telecommunications firm getting bought out for more than originally thought by another firm who already owns a large portion.

These are Monday’s market winners and loser.

Shares of Compuware Corporation (NASDAQ: CPWR) are up 13.12% to $10.78 on trading volume of 6.4 million shares. Elliot Management Corp. offered to buy the software company for $11 a share, or about $2.3 billion. Before Monday, the 52-week high was $10.25.
