IN BRIEF

The New York Stock Exchange plans to delist the shares of troubled retailer RadioShack.

RadioShack Corp. has been struggling with weak sales that have rendered it unprofitable. The Texas-based company warned last year that it may have to seek Chapter 11 bankruptcy and its CEO recently warned it might not be able to find a plan to stay afloat.
