Among the companies with shares expected to actively trade in Tuesday's session are Office Depot Inc. (ODP), Hillshire Brands Co. (HSH) and American International Group Inc. (AIG)

Office Depot Inc. said its first-quarter sales surged, bolstered by its acquisition of former rival OfficeMax. Sales topped analysts' expectations. The office-supply company also disclosed plans to close several hundred stores. Shares rose 8.9% to $4.54 premarket.

American International Group Inc. said its first-quarter profit fell 27% on a spike in costly insurance claims and a decline in premiums at its core property-casualty unit. Operating income exceeded Wall Street expectations, but analysts pointed to weaker-then-expected property-casualty earnings. Shares fell 2.4% to $51.43 premarket.

Hillshire Brands Co.'s fiscal third-quarter earnings beat expectations as cost-cutting helped offset the impact of slow overall volume. The meat-processing company also expects fiscal-fourth-quarter per-share earnings at the high end of its previous guidance. Shares rose 4% to $36.70 premarket.

Anadarko Petroleum Corp. (APC) swung to a first-quarter loss on a $4.3 billion contingent loss related to its settlement of litigation involving the 2006 acquisition of Kerr-McGee. The exploration-and-production company's adjusted earnings and revenue topped expectations. Shares rose 2.7% to $102.20 premarket.

Avago Technologies Ltd. (AVGO) will be listed in the S&P 500 after the market closes on Wednesday, a day after the chip maker closes its acquisition of LSI Corp. (LSI). S&P Dow Jones Indices, a part of McGraw Hill Financial, said Monday that Avago will replace LSI in the index. Shares rose 3.2% to $66.30 premarket.

EOG Resources Inc. (EOG) said its first-quarter earnings rose 34% as the natural-gas and oil producer benefited from higher production. Adjusted earnings and revenue topped analysts' expectations. The company, which has increased its focus on oil, raised its 2014 crude oil and overall production targets. Shares rose 3% to $102.20 premarket.

Fabrinet (FN) projected per-share earnings and revenue for the fiscal fourth-quarter that missed analysts' expecations. Shares fell 12% to $19.40 premarket.

Mosaic Co. (MOS) said its first-quarter profit slumped 43%, missing analysts' expectations, as lower prices weighed on sales. Shares fell 41 cents to $49.30 premarket.

NRG Energy Inc. (NRG) said its first-quarter loss narrowed significantly as the merchant power generator's revenue soared and far outpaced market expectations. The company also has agreed to a dropdown of assets to NRG Yield, Inc. for $349 million in total cash consideration, including the assumption of $657 million in project debt. Shares rose 1.3% to $34.20.

Tableau Software's (DATA) posted a first-quarter loss that was narrower than feared while the business-software company's revenue topped Wall Street expectations as it continued to add new customers. Shares rose 8.3% to $62.80 premarket.

Vivus Inc. (VVUS) said its first-quarter loss narrowed sharply as the biopharmaceutical company's revenue soared amid stronger sales of its weight-loss drug, as well as license and milestone payments. Shares rose 2.3% to $5.31 premarket.

 
 Watchlist: 
 

CareFusion Corp.'s (CFN) fiscal third-quarter earnings rose 21% as the medical-equipment company's procedural solutions segment again outperformed expectations. Still, the company's earnings and revenue growth missed analysts' expectations.

Discovery Communications Inc. (DISCA, DISCB, DISCK) said first-quarter profit edged down 0.4% as the media company's higher expenses offset strong revenue growth, particularly in its international segment.

Emerson Electric Co. (EMR) said its earnings for the first three months of the year shrank 2.5% as the manufacturer posted weaker revenue amid a recent divestiture.

Medifast Inc. (MED) reported fiscal first-quarter revenue that fell more than expected. The weight-loss company also projected per-share earnings and revenue for its fiscal second-quarter that missed analysts' expectations.

National CineMedia Inc. (NCMI) said Monday it is acquiring smaller rival Screenvision for $375 million in cash and stock, bringing together the two major players in the cinema advertising industry.

Tenet Healthcare Corp. (THC) said its first-quarter loss narrowed on stronger revenue that was boosted by its Vanguard Health Systems acquisition. However, adjusted earnings from continuing operations missed analysts' estimates.

Sturm Ruger & Co.'s (RGR) first-quarter earnings rose 3% on continued gun sales growth. The results topped Wall Street views.

Vornado Realty Trust (VNO) first-quarter earnings fell 69% as the commercial real-estate company took a hit from its stake in Toys "R" Us Inc. Still, revenue topped analysts' estimates.

WellCare Health Plans Inc. (WCG) said first-quarter profit more than doubled thanks to stronger revenue and membership rolls. The health insurer raised its 2014 adjusted earnings and premium revenue projections, mostly on its better-than-expected quarterly results, as well as an improved outlook for its Medicaid segment.

Zoetis Inc. (ZTS) said its first-quarter earnings rose 11% as the animal-medicine maker reported strong sales in the U.S. and a lower cost of sales.
