News Corporation (NWSA - Free Report) was a big mover last session, as the company saw its shares rise more than 5% on the day. The move came on solid volume too with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This breaks the recent trend of the company, as the stock is now trading above the volatile price range of $11.39 to $12.24 in the past one-month time frame.

The move came after the company announced that it is evaluating options to sell its News America Marketing business in an effort to simplify its business structure.
