Among the companies with shares expected to trade actively in Friday's session are General Electric Co. (GE), Honeywell International Inc. (HON) and Whirlpool Corp. (WHR).

 

General Electric Co. posted a 15% rise in revenue in the most-recent quarter as the company continues to shift its focus toward industrial businesses and away from banking. Shares fell 2.76% $31.69 in premarket trading.

 

Honeywell International Inc. posted revenue and profit gains in its latest quarter but cut its revenue forecast for the year as the company saw core organic sales fall in its three business units. Shares fell 2.66% to $115.50 premarket.

 

Whirlpool Corp. reported revenue declines in its latest quarter as weakness abroad offset U.S. gains. Shares rose 1.25% to $185.00 premarket.

 

Apparel conglomerate VF Corp. (VFC) trimmed its outlook for the year and reported sluggish revenue growth below expectations in the most recent quarter. Shares fell 1.06% to $62.50 premarket.

 

SunTrust Banks Inc. (STI) said profit rose in its latest quarter, as increases in interest income and fee-based revenue offset an increase in expenses.

 

American Airlines Group Inc.'s (AAL) profit fell sharply in its latest quarter amid a decline in revenue and a large provision for income taxes. Shares rose 3.26% to $36.10 premarket.

 

Stanley Black & Decker Inc. (SWK) named its current president, James Loree, as new chief executive and raised its earnings guidance for the year, as it posted gains in sales and volume offset foreign exchange rates in its latest quarter.

 

Advanced Micro Devices Inc. on Thursday swung to a quarterly profit and reported the first sales increase in nearly two years, riding sales of customized chips for videogame makers and demand for its latest graphics products.

 

AT&T Inc.'s (T) quarterly profit and revenue got a lift from its acquisition of DirecTV but the company reported declining numbers of core wireless phone and pay television connections.

 

Athenahealth Inc. (ATHN) swung to a surprise loss, and the electronic health-care records company said its chief operating officer will step down at the end of the year.

 

Boeing Co. (BA) on Thursday revealed more expensive stumbles with the production of new commercial and military jets, saying it would take $2.1 billion in charges in its coming earnings.

Capital One Financial Corp.'s (COF) second-quarter profit rose 9% as revenue ticked higher and operating expenses declined. But results missed analysts' projections.

 

Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. (CMG) is recovering far more slowly than expected from a series of food-safety problems last year, despite promotions and other efforts to lure back consumers. Although the company has returned to profitability and its sales decline has improved from a low point in January, the company's second-quarter profit and same-store sales missed expectations.

 

Crown Castle International Corp. (CCI) on Thursday said earnings fell in its latest quarter as it came up against a tough comparison, though the company raised its forecast for the year.

 

E*Trade Financial Corp.'s (ETFC) second-quarter revenue rose 10% as trading picked up and its allowance for loan losses shrunk, though the pace of the online broker's new account openings slowed. The results beat Wall Street expectations.

 

J.C. Penney Co. (JCP) on Thursday said Chief Executive Marvin Ellison will take on the additional role of chairman, succeeding long-time executive Myron "Mike" Ullman who will retire. The moves are in line with the transition plan the department-store operator announced in 2014.

 

U.S. chemical producer Olin Corp. (OLN) on Thursday cut second-quarter guidance, citing weak demand for domestic caustic soda in May and June and higher raw material costs due to increases in ethylene and natural gas pricing.

 

Web-radio service Pandora Media Inc. (P) on Thursday lowered its annual guidance as its quarterly loss widened amid lackluster subscription growth, a 30% rise in operating expenses and the loss of more than a million active listeners.

 

PayPal Holdings Inc.(PYPL), which has worked to extend its reach since splitting with eBay Inc. last year, said Thursday it had forged a new partnership with credit-card issuer Visa Inc. The announcement came as the money-moving service reported higher quarterly profit and a 15% increase in revenue.

 

Puma Biotechnology Inc. (PBYI) has submitted a new drug application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for a breast-cancer treatment that is the company's lead product candidate. The company also reported favorable updated results from a Phase 3 clinical trial.

 

Schlumberger Ltd. (SLB) swung to an unexpected second-quarter loss on charges related to restructuring efforts and the oil-field services giant's acquisition of Cameron International Corp.

 

Skechers USA Inc. (SKX) on Thursday reported a decline in quarterly profit, hurt by the shift of a Brazilian tax, a fire at a Malaysian warehouse and the impact of currency translation.

 

Southwestern Energy Co.'s (SWN) second-quarter loss narrowed as the oil-and-gas company exceeded production guidance by 5%.

 

Starbucks Corp. (SBUX) on Thursday revised its projections for the year as sales in the June quarter again fell short of expectations, dragged down by its European operations.

 

Stryker Corp. (SYK) on Thursday again raised its financial projections for the year following a 17% increase in sales in the June quarter, driven by its medical and surgical business. But the company's profit projection for the current quarter missed analysts' projections.
