Among the companies with shares expected to actively trade in Monday's session are McDonald's Corp. (MCD) and Toll Brothers Inc. (TOL).

American Airlines Group Inc. (AAL) said passenger traffic edged up 0.2% during October from a year earlier as increases in its domestic segment were mostly offset by weaker international passenger volume.

Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (BRKA, BRKB) posted a drop in profit tied to an investment loss, though results overall topped analyst expectations as the conglomerate's railroad arm and other units continued to ride a rebounding U.S. economy.

Dollar Tree Inc. (DLTR) has agreed not to close its planned purchase of Family Dollar Stores Inc. (FDO) before Dec. 30 to facilitate a Federal Trade Commission review, unless the FTC completes the review and ends a waiting period earlier.

GoPro Inc. (GPRO) filed plans Monday for an offering of $800 million in shares, after raising more than $491 million in its initial public offering in June. The maker of portable cameras said it plans to use the money raised for general corporate purposes, including for working capital or to fund acquisitions and investments.

McDonald's Corp. (MCD) on Monday said its October sales held up better than expected as the fast-food giant continues to confront a host of problems across its business. Global sales fell 0.5% in October, excluding newly opened stores, beating the 2.2% decline analysts were expecting, according to Consensus Metrix.

California authorities are looking into O'Reilly Automotive Inc.'s (ORLY) hazardous-waste storage and disposal practices, the auto parts retailer disclosed Friday in a regulatory filing.

Sotheby's (BID) said its third-quarter loss narrowed as the auction house benefited from lower costs and a higher tax benefit that offset a decline in revenue.

Toll Brothers Inc. (TOL) said revenue in its October quarter surged 29%, lifted by strong demand in the home builder's West Coast division. Toll reported preliminary revenue of $1.35 billion for the quarter ended Oct. 31, topping the $1.31 billion expected by analysts polled by Thomson Reuters.

WhiteWave Foods Co. (WWAV) said its revenue grew 34% in the third quarter, helped by its Earthbound Farms acquisition and strong growth in Europe. The results exceeded expectations.

 
   Stocks to Watch from Barron's: 

Leucadia National's (LUK) business and financial outlook is better than its stock-market showing suggests, and its shares now look undervalued, Barron's said. Over the course of three decades, Leucadia National developed a cult following on Wall Street and was often likened to a mini Berkshire Hathaway, thanks to the success of its founding duo, Joseph Steinberg and Ian Cumming, in making investments, minimizing taxes, and building a small-scale conglomerate.

Weak European markets have led investors to bail on shares of OM Group (OMG), Barron's said. The maker of industrial-use magnets, batteries, and specialty chemicals, which caters to the automotive, aerospace, and medical-device industries, draws more than half its revenue from Europe. OM's stock has plunged nearly 30% this year. While we're not calling for a rebound in Europe, at $26.60, the shares look compelling, and could have a lot of upside.
