Among the companies with shares expected to actively trade in
Tuesday's session are GT Advanced Technologies Inc. (GTAT),
Polypore International Inc. (PPO), LeapFrog Enterprises Inc. (LF)
and BroadSoft Inc. (BSFT).
Apple Inc. (AAPL) is building a new component manufacturing
plant in Arizona, striking an agreement with GT Advanced
Technologies that will provide sapphire material for use in Apple
products. The news sent GT's shares up 16% to $9.73 in after-hours
trading.
Polypore's third-quarter earnings fell 51% as continued weak
demand for lithium battery separators pressured results. Shares
fell 13% to $38.02 in after-hours trading as adjusted profit and
revenue missed Wall Street's expectations.
LeapFrog's shares fell Monday after the interactive toy maker
issued a more cautious revenue outlook for 2013, citing fewer days
between the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays and a weak retail
environment. The toy maker's stock slid 6.3% to $8.12 in
after-hours trading.
BroadSoft swung to third-quarter loss as the software vendor was
hurt by increased expenses for stock-based compensation and other
items that masked revenue growth. Shares were down 18% at $27.10 in
after-hours trading as the company also cut its 2013 guidance and
provided a fourth-quarter outlook that missed expectations.
Cytori Therapeutics Inc. (CYTX) unveiled a pact to commercialize
the company's cell therapies for the cardiovascular, renal and
diabetes markets in Australia and several Asian nations. Shares of
Cytori soared 46% to $3.05 after hours, after the company said
partner Lorem Vascular will pay up to $500 million in fees for a
30-year exclusive license to Cytori.
Fabrinet's (FN) fiscal first-quarter profit climbed 20% as the
company recorded improving revenue. Shares jumped 12% to $19.10 in
after-hours trading as results topped expectations and the company
issued an upbeat current-quarter outlook.
Thor Industries Inc. (THO) issued a preliminary sales target for
the fiscal first quarter that missed Wall Street's expectations,
though the top line is expected to rise on strong demand for
motorized recreational vehicles. Shares slid 4.3% to $54.90 after
hours.
Watch List:
Anadarko Petroleum Corp.'s (APC) third-quarter profit rose 50%,
with higher oil sales helping to boost results.
CF Industries Holdings Inc.'s (CF) third-quarter earnings fell
42% as the fertilizer producer reported weaker revenue and margins,
and was hurt by negative derivative impacts.
Consolidated Edison Inc.'s (ED) third-quarter profit grew 5.5%
as the utility company reported revenue growth across all business
segments.
Marathon Oil Corp.'s (MRO) third-quarter profit rose 26%, driven
by a slight increase in production and a favorable tax comparison
to the year-ago period.
Pioneer Natural Resources Co.'s (PXD) third-quarter profit
surged while the exploration-and-production company posted
increased production and higher average prices.
Plains All American Pipeline LP's (PAA) third-quarter earnings
rose 40% though the company's gas-storage affiliate, PAA Natural
Gas Storage LP (PNG), reported that its profit dropped 32% amid
weaker revenue, as well as expenses related to the pending
combination of the two companies.
Tenet Healthcare Corp.'s (THC) third-quarter profit slid 32% as
the hospital operator recorded higher expenses, masking an increase
in revenue.
Vornado Realty Trust's (VNO) third-quarter earnings fell 57% as
the latest quarter was weighed down by a real-estate impairment
loss, and the commercial property owner recorded fewer gains on the
sale of real estate compared with the year-ago period.
Weatherford International Ltd.'s (WFT) third-quarter earnings
fell 69%, due in large part to lower revenue in North America and a
provision for a settlement with the U.S. government.
