Click on the chart to track SodaStream's stock
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Stocks are down across the board as Italy's access to the open debt market becomes more and more questionable. In the sea of red, few stocks are up for the day.
It may surprise some, but one of them is Best Buy (BBY, Fortune 500), which has often been bashed and may be experiencing a slow death because it's losing business to online competitors, namely Amazon (AMZN, Fortune 500). Shares of the electronic retailer advanced more than 3%. Best Buy's recent acquisition of the managed service provider mindShift Technologies has been met positively by the market.
Another stock that is positive for the day is Sodastream International (SODA). The manufacturer of home soda machines reported much better than expected earnings (37 cents vs. 24 cents) and raised guidance for the year due to the rapid expansion of its distribution network into Costco (COST, Fortune 500), Target (TGT, Fortune 500) and Best Buy (BBY, Fortune 500). Its stock gained 4% on the news.
On the other side of the surprise spectrum is General Motors (GM, Fortune 500), whose shares fell 9% after reporting a 15% drop in quarterly net income. The car manufacturer admitted that it's losing positions in all geographic markets except North America.
