The stock market is down Monday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average down 0.35%, the Nasdaq down 0.20% and the S&P 500 down 0.20%. Today’s winners include a materials manufacturer getting bought out and an insurer bolstering capital. Today’s losers include a mattress retailer who will likely report weaker-than-expected financials for the first quarter and a mining firm buying out a rival.

These are Monday’s market winners and losers.
