Among the companies with shares expected to actively trade in
Thursday's session are Pandora Media Inc. (P), TiVo Inc. (TIVO) and
Vera Bradley Inc. (VRA).
Pandora reported its fiscal second-quarter loss widened as costs
outpaced revenue growth. But the Internet radio firm also raised
its financial guidance and posted encouraging numbers for its
mobile advertising efforts. On an adjusted, per-share basis,
Pandora posted a break-even second quarter, while an adjusted loss
had been expected. Shares rose 9.1% to $11 after hours.
TiVo's fiscal second-quarter loss widened, as the
digital-video-recorder company's higher expenses masked continued
growth in its subscriber base. However, shares jumped 5.1% after
hours to $9.84 on the improved subscriber rolls and lower churn
rates.
Vera Bradley's fiscal second-quarter earnings slipped 1.9% as
margins weakened, though revenue improved. Shares sank 9.2% to
$21.44 after hours as earnings fell short of the handbag maker's
expectations and as the company lowered its full-year guidance.
Christopher & Banks Corp.'s (CBK) fiscal second-quarter loss
narrowed amid lower overhead costs and a benefit related to
restructuring charges. Shares rose 5.1% to $2.48 in light
after-hours trading as the company reported better-than-expected
margins and predicted same-store sales growth in coming
quarters.
Flow International Corp.'s (FLOW) fiscal first-quarter profit
soared as the maker of industrial water-jet machines posted
double-digit growth in its core business. Shares rose 6.7% to $3.82
after hours as revenue exceeded analyst expectations.
LyondellBasell Industries N.V. (LYB) will replace Sears Holdings
Corp. (SHLD) in the S&P 500 index after the market close on
Sept. 4, S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC said. LyondellBasell shares
rose 4.7% after hours to $49.50, while Sears shares slipped 3.9% to
$55.21.
Oxford Industries Inc.'s (OXM) fiscal second-quarter earnings
jumped 93% as the apparel company reported strong sales gains at
Tommy Bahama and Lilly Pulitzer. However, shares fell 8.8% to
$48.02 after hours as the company offered guidance for the current
quarter below analyst expectations.
Watchlist:
CareFusion Corp. (CFN) said it will delay filing its annual
earnings report for the latest fiscal year with the Securities and
Exchange Commission to discuss the medical-device company's
accounting policy for sales-type leases in its Pyxis
dispensing-product line.
Casella Waste Systems Inc.'s (CWST) fiscal first-quarter loss
widened as recycling-commodity prices weakened and special-waste
volumes at its western New York landfills continued to decline.
Restaurant chain Chuy's Holdings Inc.'s (CHUY) second-quarter
income soared in its first earnings release as a public company,
with same-store sales growth boosting revenue.
Greif Inc.'s (GEF) fiscal third-quarter earnings fell 39% as the
packaging company faced weaker demand and lost income due to
currency conversion.
Fitch Ratings raised its outlook on Ingredion Inc. (INGR) to
positive from stable, pointing to the food-ingredient company's
significant progress integrating its National Starch purchase and
strong earnings since the acquisition.
