THE MOVERS
Taser International Inc.: $6.35, down 96 cents (13.1 percent): Shares of the stun-gun maker fell after it announced that a Securities and Exchange Commission inquiry is now a formal investigation with an expanded scope. The company had previously said the SEC was looking into claims Taser has made about safety studies for its stun guns and has also been looking into a $1.5 million end-of-year sale of stun guns to a firearms distributor in Prescott, Ariz. Some stock analysts have questioned the deal because it appeared to inflate sales to meet annual projections. The formal probe is also examining the possibility that outsiders acquired internal company information to manipulate the stock price, Taser said in a news release.
