Dow Jones News
Among the companies with shares expected to trade actively in
Friday's session are General Electric Co. (GE), Reynolds American
Inc. (RAI) and Honeywell International Inc. (HON).
General Electric Co. posted worse-than-expected revenue growth
in its latest quarter, and the industrial giant said it would
increase its stock-buyback program by $4 billion after
disappointing Wall Street in the first half of the year. Shares
fell 1.07% to $28.76 in premarket trading.
British American Tobacco PLC made a $47 billion takeover offer
for the roughly 58% of American peer Reynolds American Inc. that it
doesn't already own--a move that would cement the two cigarette
giants' longstanding trans-Atlantic ties and create the world's
largest listed tobacco company by revenue and market value.
Reynolds American shares rose 20.31% to $56.75 premarket.
Honeywell International Inc. issued the downbeat earnings report
it had forecast earlier this month, saying an unexpectedly weak
September and lackluster performance in the aerospace segment hurt
profit. Shares rose 0.33% to $108.50 premarket.
McDonald's Corp. (MCD) reported better-than-expected earnings
and solid growth in same-restaurant sales for the September
quarter, helped in part by the continued popularity of its all-day
breakfast and the introduction of new chicken nuggets. Shares rose
3.69% to $114.65 premarket.
Moody's Corp. (MCO) said Friday the U.S. Department of Justice
is readying a complaint against the firm for ratings it issued just
before the 2008 financial crisis. Shares fell 3.16% to $104.67
premarket.
Visa Inc. (V) is putting a bitcoin-style network to work as it
aims to take on a new market, the large and complex cross-border
payments made between businesses.
Citizens Financial Group Inc. (CFG) reported revenue and profit
increases for its third quarter, driven by increases in loans and
deposits.
Interpublic Group of Cos. (IPG) boosted its full-year outlook as
it reported 4.3% growth in organic revenue for the third quarter
and beat Wall Street's expectations.
Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD) on Thursday reported a second
consecutive quarter of higher sales, fueled by customized
processors for videogame makers and demand for its latest graphics
chips. But the company saw its loss widen as it booked a $340
million charge tied to the most recent changes to its agreement
with the company that manufactures most of the chips it designs.
AMD also issued revenue guidance for the current quarter that was
lower than analysts expected.
Alkermes PLC (ALKS) said its depression drug helped patients not
responding to standard treatments, news that added more than $3
billion to the company's market value in after-hours trading.
For-profit education company Apollo Education Group Inc. (APOL)
swung to a quarterly profit even as revenue continued its
years-long decline driven by lower enrollment.
Ariad Pharmaceuticals Inc. (ARIA) said it had received a letter
from Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and Maryland Democratic Rep.
Elijah Cummings criticizing the pricing of leukemia drug
Iclusig.
Boston Beer Co. (SAM) on Thursday cut further its projections
following a fourth-straight quarter of lower revenue and profit as
booming competition continues to erode its market position.
Crown Castle International Corp. (CCI) on Thursday raised its
profit range for the year and quarterly profit dividend, citing
current investment pace from wireless carriers and higher projected
demand tied to data-intensive applications.
E*Trade Financial Corp. (ETFC) swung to a quarterly profit as
its recent acquisition of online broker OptionsHouse LLC helped
drive customer accounts and assets, though a key trading metric
declined. Overall results beat Wall Street expectations.
La-Z-Boy Inc. (LZB) on Thursday said second-quarter results
would be lower than the year-ago period, citing weak demand in the
retail home-furnishing sector.
Microsoft Corp.'s (MSFT) cloud-computing businesses kicked into
high gear as sales of the software giant's Azure service more than
doubled, helping the company break a streak of revenue declines.
Results beat expectations.
PayPal Holdings Inc.(PYPL), which Thursday reported quarterly
results that beat analysts' projections, has struck an agreement
with Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. (BABA) to make PayPal a one-click
payment option on the Chinese e-commerce giant's AliExpress
marketplace for consumers.
Schlumberger Ltd.'s (SLB) quarterly profit dropped sharply as
the world's largest oil-field service company recorded lower
revenue and more than $230 million in charges tied to the Cameron
International Corp. acquisition.
Skechers USA Inc. (SKX) on Thursday reported lower-than-expected
quarterly results and gave a disappointing sales projection for the
current quarter, blaming sluggish retail demand in the U.S.
Southwestern Energy Co.'s (SWN) quarterly loss narrowed on lower
operating costs and higher natural gas liquid prices.
Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc. (WBA) and Rite Aid Corp. (RAD)
pushed out the deadline to close their $9.4 billion merger to next
year amid delays in selling stores the two sides have to divest to
get the deal past federal regulators.
Health officials in Detroit are looking into whether two
recently diagnosed hepatitis A cases may be linked to a local Whole
Foods Market Inc. store. The grocer said it had contacted health
officials after an employee who handles prepared food was diagnosed
with the food/waterborne illness.
