Lowe's (LOW) reported earnings per share with charges that met expectations and revenue that beat consensus, sending shares up 7%.

Among the notable stock market gainers Monday was Tyson Foods (TSN), up 8.5% after beating quarterly expectations, raising its regular dividend and declaring a special dividend. 

Also higher were shares of BioMimetic Therapeutics (BMTI), up 75% after striking a deal to merge with Wright Medical (WMGI). Wright moved fractionally lower following the announcement. 

Among the other market losers was Aruba Networks (ARUN), which retreated a bit over 1% after Cisco (CSCO) bought Meraki, a competitor to Aruba.
