NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks are recovering a small portion of yesterday's losses despite two disappointing economic reports out today. In a revised estimate, the Commerce Department said the U.S. economy shrank at annual rate of 2.9 percent in the first three months of the year.

Stock in CBS is up 5 percent, Gannett is up 4.5 percent, while Lin Media LLC and Journal Communications are both up 6 percent.
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — New Mexico regulators have denied a temporary operating permit for the ride-sharing company Uber. The Albuquerque Journal reports that the Public Regulation Commission voted 3-2 to withhold the permit because Uber had requested waivers for required filings such as driver safety records and insurance information. Another ride-sharing company, Lyft, has argued it doesn't need a permit of any kind because it is not a taxi service.

NEW YORK (AP) — GoPro is one of seven companies expected to go public tomorrow. The maker of wearable sports cameras is looking to raise more than $400 million in its initial public offering, valuing the company at about $3 billion.

The stock will trade on the Nasdaq stock exchange under ticker symbol "GPRO."
