Home Depot (HD, Fortune 500) said it was eliminating 7,000 jobs as a result of closing its high-end EXPO business and cutting its support staff. Shares gained 4.7%.

Sprint Nextel (S, Fortune 500) said it will cut up to 8,000 jobs in the first quarter and take a charge of more than $300 million, as it contends with the sluggish economy. Shares gained 1.2%.
