Among the companies with shares expected to trade actively in
Thursday's session are Fitbit Inc. (FIT), Keurig Green Mountain
Inc. (GMCR) and Weight Watchers International Inc. (WTW).
Fitbit Inc.'s profit widened as sales of its wearable
fitness-tracking devices surged in the second quarter, marking the
startup's first reporting period as a public company. Shares fell
11% to $46 in recent premarket trading.
Keurig Green Mountain Inc. plans to cut about 5% of its
workforce as part of a plan to cut about $300 million in spending
over the next three years. The announcement came as the company
reported sales and net income declines in the June quarter and
lowered for the third time its sales projection for the year ending
in September. Shares fell 29% to $53.43 premarket.

for the year following better-than-expected results in the second
quarter. Shares rose 22% to $5.45 premarket.
Allergan PLC (AGN) swung to a second-quarter loss on charges
related to recent acquisitions and other one-time items. The
results mark the first full quarter since Actavis PLC completed its
roughly $66 billion deal for the maker of wrinkle treatment Botox
in March, forming one of the top 10 drug companies by sales. Shares
eased 0.5% to $334.89 premarket.
Brinker International Inc. (EAT) said its revenue edged up in
the latest quarter but missed expectations, amid weaker sales at
established company-owned Chili's and Maggiano's restaurants.
Shares fell 5.6% to $56 premarket.
Build-a-Bear Workshop Inc. (BBW) reported losses on Thursday for
its latest quarter, hurt by currency headwinds, though results were
better than expected. Shares rose 11% to $20.75 premarket.
21st Century Fox Inc. (FOXA) on Wednesday reported
better-than-expected fourth-quarter earnings and a new $5 billion
stock-buyback program following the media company's recent
leadership transition. Shares fell 7.7% to $29.46 premarket.
CBS Corp.'s (CBSA) second-quarter profit fell 24% amid
restructuring-related charges and weaker results at its
entertainment and local broadcasting divisions. Shares edged down
0.8% to $50 premarket.
CenturyLink Inc.'s (CTL) earnings and revenue fell in the second
quarter, undershooting forecasts and sending the share price down
about 4% in after-hours trading. Shares fell 4.5% to $27.29
premarket.
CF Industries Holdings Inc.'s (CF) second-quarter revenue fell
10.9% as the fertilizer maker recorded lower sales of nitrogen
products. Shares rose 6.9% to $65.90 premarket.
Elizabeth Arden Inc. (RDEN) on Thursday reported a
worse-than-expected loss and sales decline in its June quarter,
though the beauty-products company logged its second-straight
quarter of growth in its namesake brand. Shares fell 4.4% to $9.75
premarket.
GoDaddy Inc. (GDDY) said sales jumped 17% in the second quarter,
as the newly public company tapped into the digital expansion of
small businesses. Shares fell 1.6% to $29 premarket.
Herbalife Ltd. (HLF) reported declines in second-quarter revenue
and earnings, hurt in part by the stronger dollar. Still, results
beat the Wall Street consensus and the nutritional-products company
raised its financial projections for the year. Shares rose 9.2% to
$53.60 premarket.
Marathon Oil Corp. (MRO) swung to a second-quarter loss as
revenue plunged on sharply lower crude prices amid a global supply
glut. Shares fell 1.5% to $19.50 premarket.

second-quarter loss as negative currency impacts weighed on revenue
and bookings declined. Shares fell 1.1% to $11.20 premarket.
Prudential Financial Inc.'s (PRU) second-quarter operating
earnings rose 16.9%, bolstered by an increase in revenue from
premiums. Shares rose 1.3% to $91.05 premarket.
SeaWorld Entertainment Inc. (SEAS) said its earnings fell 84% in
its quarter ended in June--traditionally one of its strongest--as
attendance dropped following record Texas rainfall and continued
challenges in California. The results missed analysts'
expectations. Shares fell 4.9% to $16.55 premarket.
Tesla Motors Inc.'s (TSLA) second-quarter loss nearly tripled
from a year earlier, as hefty spending on future initiatives offset
higher sales and reinforced concern about the electric-car maker's
ability to turn a profit. Shares fell 7.2% to $250.79
premarket.
Transocean Ltd.'s (RIG) second-quarter profit narrowed sharply
as the offshore oil driller logged nearly $800 million in charges
as it continues to trim its fleet amid lower crude prices. The
latest charges are largely tied to its midwater floater fleet and
assets held for sale. Shares rose 3.6% to $12.78 premarket.
Viacom Inc. (VIAB, VIA) said profit slipped in its latest
quarter, due largely to a blank summer movie slate. Shares fell
4.5% to $49.12 premarket.

guidance as revenue fell less than expected in the June quarter,
though results were still hurt by a big write-down on low
commodities prices.
Becton Dickinson & Co. (BDX) reported better-than-expected
adjusted profit in its latest quarter, as the medical technology
company integrates CareFusion into its business.
Duke Energy Corp.'s (DUK) profit fell 11% in its second quarter,
hurt by tax items and a sharp decline in earnings in its
international segment amid weakness in Latin America. Per-share
earnings missed analysts' expectations.
Energy Transfer Equity LP's (ETE) second-quarter earnings rose
82% on lower costs and expenses and a tax benefit that offset
weaker revenue.
Energizer Holdings Inc. (ENR), which recently completed a
spinoff from its parent company, newly named Edgewell Personal Care
Co., said profit fell in the latest quarter as battery sales slid

rose 8.6% as its namesake chain and its Qdoba Mexican Grill posted
higher same-store sales and improved margins.
L Brands Inc. (LB) raised its second-quarter per-share earnings
outlook as the retailer reported better-than-expected sales at
established stores for July.
Prestige Brands Holdings Inc. (PBH) said Thursday that profit
and revenue in its latest quarter climbed more than 30% amid the
company's recent acquisitions. The results topped analysts
expectations.
