Applied Materials Inc. (AMAT) on Thursday reported order growth and a 31% jump in profit, helped by a smaller income-tax charge, though revenue fell short of Wall Street expectations. Shares rose 3.75% $17.15 premarket.

Time Inc. said Thursday it plans to start buying back $300 million of its stock and paying down $200 million in debt regardless of the status of the sale of its London headquarters. However, if the sale of the Blue Fin Building is delayed or falls through, the company said Thursday, the stock and debt repurchases "would likely correspondingly be delayed or adjusted."
