Catch up on the… Catch up on the weekend's top five stories with this list compiled by The Fly: 1. Walmart (WMT) is shuffling the leadership of its merchandising ranks, according to a document viewed by The Wall Street Journal, a shift at the country's largest retailer as it works to navigate an unpredictable consumer landscape, The Journal's Sarah Nassauer reports. Charles Redfield, who became chief merchandising officer last year, will leave the role May 1 and stay on as an adviser, said John Furner, who leads Walmart's U.S. operations, in a memo to staff Friday. The company will share information on a successor soon, said Furner in the memo. 2. Merck (MRK) and Prometheus Biosciences (RXDX) announced that the companies have entered into a definitive agreement under which Merck, through a subsidiary, has agreed to acquire Prometheus for $200.00 per share in cash for a total equity value of approximately $10.8 billion. 3. After Silicon Valley Bank's implosion, Tellus disavowed any connection to the failed bank. Instead, the finance start-up called out its connections to two of the nation's biggest financial institutions, suggesting that client funds were safe from the banking panic, Jacob Adelman writes in this week's edition of Barron's. Tellus isn't a bank, though, and it isn't regulated like one. Its claimed connections to the traditional finance world are also misleading. When Barron's asked JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and Wells Fargo (WFC) about their ties to Tellus, both banks expressed surprise. Days after Barron's contacted JPMorgan and Wells Fargo about Tellus, their names disappeared from the start-up's home page, which now simply refers to "leading banks" as custodians of customer funds, the author notes. 4. Illumination and Universal's (CMCSA) Nintendo (NTDOY) video game adaptation "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" is the first movie of the year that is close of crossing the $1B mark worldwide. The film won this weekend at the domestic box office with another $87M from 4,371 theaters in its second outing, making it the biggest second weekend ever for an animated movie. Overall, "Super Mario Bros." has earned $347.8M domestically and $330M overseas for a global total of $678M. 5. Ferguson (FERG), Equitable Holdings (EQH), Corebridge Financial (CRBG), Globe Life (GL), Primerica (PRI), Reinsurance Group of America (RGA), Unum Group (UNM), and Voya Financial (VOYA) saw positive mentions in this week's edition of Barron's.

Some stocks are cheap for… Some stocks are cheap for a reason and stay that way. But other inexpensive stocks can be good values. Life-insurance shares belong in the latter category, with their finances looking sound and the industry getting better at risk management, Andrew Bary writes in this week's edition of Barron's. Some of the better life-insurance plays are Equitable Holdings (EQH), Corebridge Financial (CRBG), Globe Life (GL), Primerica (PRI), Reinsurance Group of America (RGA), Unum Group (UNM), and Voya Financial (VOYA), the author notes.
