On this edition of Stock Movers:

- TKO Group (TKO) shares advanced today after Paramount Skydance acquired the exclusive rights to show all events from the Ultimate Fighting Championship in the US over the next seven years, the companies announced Monday, a $7.7 billion deal designed to boost the Paramount+ streaming service. Paramount will offer the UFC’s 13 marquee events and 30 additional fight nights on its streaming service, while also showing select events on the CBS broadcast network, starting next year. UFC’s marquee events are typically numbered and feature title matches with top fighters, while fight nights usually involve up-and-comers or less prominent matchups. Paramount said it’s paying an average of $1.1 billion a year and will explore buying international rights in the future as they become available.

- Tilray Brands (TLRY) and other shares of cannabis-linked companies rallied on Monday after President Donald Trump said he was considering reclassifying marijuana as a less dangerous drug, giving the sector a much needed boost.

- Shares of chocolate makers Hershey (HSY) and Mondelez (MDLZ) are trading lower Monday as cocoa futures climbed the most since December amid dropping inventories and renewed concern about weaker West African crop forecasts in the coming season. Futures in New York surged as much as 11% on Monday before paring gains. US exchange cocoa stockpiles have been falling, while dry weather conditions in parts of the world’s top growing region are threatening the next cocoa season after the current mid-crop harvest has already been poorer than expected.
