NEW YORK - Stocks that were moving substantially or trading heavily Wednesday on the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq Stock Market:
NYSE
Monsanto Co., up $9.50 at $120.97
Strong sales of the seed company's Roundup herbicide lifted fiscal first-quarter profit and sales above Wall Street expectations.
Ford Motor Co., down 12 cents at $6.48
Sales fell 9 percent in December and declined 24 percent in 2007, weighed down partly by a 5 percent decline in sales of trucks.
CVS Caremark Corp., down $2.80 at $36.55
The drugstore chain said sales in December were softer than expected because of bad weather and a mild flu season.
State Street Corp., up $6.42 at $85.30
