Gainers

Focus Media Holding Ltd. (FMCN) stock jumped 13.48 percent to $17.51 in the pre-market trading. The company said it will host a conference call, in order to respond to allegations made in the Muddy Waters report, at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time on Tuesday. Muddy Waters accused Focus Media Holding of significant overstatement of the number of screens in its LCD network, among other charges, according to Reuters. Muddy Waters said Focus Media has been fraudulently overstating the number of screens in its LCD advertising display network by about 50 percent, and put a strong sell recommendation on the company's stock. Muddy Waters said Focus Media reported in regulatory filings that it has 178,382 screens, while according to its media kit the company has fewer than 120,000. The firm also said the company has significantly and deliberately overpaid for deals and has written down $1.1 billion out of $1.6 billion in acquisitions since 2005, exceeding the company's enterprise value by a third.
