Among the companies with shares expected to trade actively in Wednesday's session are Platform Specialty Products Corp. (PAH), J.C. Penney Company, Inc. (JCP) and Rockwell Collins (COL).

Platform Specialty Products Corp. said Tuesday that it swung to a loss in the third quarter, as the acquisitive chemical company was hurt by a weaker agricultural specialty chemical market, currency headwinds and a shift in the company's distribution strategy. Shares were trading 2.31% lower at $11.41 in premarket trading.

J.C. Penney Company, Inc. said Wednesday it had settled a class action lawsuit filed in California in 2012 that accused the retailer of false advertising. Shares rose 5.18% to $9.13 premarket.

Aviation company Rockwell Collins said Wednesday that Chief Executive Kelly Ortberg was elected chairman of the company's board. Shares were untraded premarket.

Horizon Pharma PLC (HZNP) on Wednesday fired back a response at Express Scripts Holding Co.'s business practices after the largest U.S. pharmacy-benefit manager said it was cutting off a pharmacy that sold medications made by the biopharmaceutical company. Horizon Pharma shares fell 16.49% to $18.69 premarket.

Kroger Co. (KR) on Wednesday agreed to buy Roundy's Inc. (RNDY) for about $178 million in cash, as the grocery store chain continues to add to its roster of supermarket chains. Kroger shares rose 1.8% to $37.94 premarket, while Roundy's shares rose 64.22% to $3.58 premarket.

Home security giant ADT Corp.'s fourth-quarter profit slid, even as revenue improved slightly, helped by lower customer cancellations.

Brunswick Corp. (BC) set a 2018 earnings target sharply higher than what it expects to earn this year, as the maker of boats, fitness equipment and pool tables said it expects to benefit from improving marine markets.

Juno Therapeutics Inc. (JUNO) on Tuesday reported a narrower adjusted loss for its third quarter, as its cash position improved from the prior year due to Celgene Corp.'s $1 billion initial investment in an ambitious cancer collaboration with the biotechnology company.

Tesoro Corp. (TSO) has agreed to sell Los Angeles storage and pipeline assets including 97 tanks to the master limited partnership it formed in 2010.
