Among the companies with shares expected to actively trade in Friday's session are Abercrombie & Fitch Co. (ANF), Infoblox Inc. (BLOX) and Pandora Media Inc. (P).

Abercrombie & Fitch's (ANF) fiscal first-quarter loss narrowed as the teen-apparel retailer controlled expenses, but results sharply missed expectations amid a slump in same-store sales. Shares dropped 11% to $48.40 premarket as the company lowered its view for the year.

Infoblox's fiscal third-quarter loss narrowed as the data-center technology company benefited from growing demand for its products across regions. Shares jumped 18% to $25.90 premarket as results beat the company's projections.

Pandora's fiscal first-quarter loss widened as the Internet-radio provider's rising expenses continued to outpace revenue. But shares jumped 12% premarket, to $19.16, as the company raised its full-year bottom-line guidance.

Sears Holdings Corp. (SHLD) swung to a fiscal first-quarter loss as the retailer recorded a large gain on asset sales a year earlier and as revenue and margins weakened in the latest period. Shares were down 14% to $49.90 premarket.

Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM) is in exclusive talks with InterOil Corp. (IOC) to invest in the latter's natural gas assets in Papua New Guinea, a move that could cement the impoverished Southeastern Asian country's position as a new significant energy exporter.

AVEO Pharmaceuticals Inc. (AVEO) said in a filing that it was informed by its partner, Astellas Pharma Inc., that Astellas no longer intends to submit a marketing authorization application to the European Medicines Agency for tivozanib for the treatment of patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma.

Intuitive Surgical Inc. (ISRG) prevailed in a civil lawsuit that accused it of negligence in its training of doctors using the company's surgical robot machines, a victory as it looks to counter criticisms that its da Vinci machines are unsafe and too costly. Shares were up 3.3% to $494.35 premarket.

Marvell Technology Group Ltd.'s (MRVL) fiscal first-quarter earnings fell 44% as the chip maker recorded sinking revenue and higher operating costs. Shares jumped 5.5% premarket to $11.93, however, as core earnings exceeded the company's expectations, and revenue fell in line.

Salesforce.com Inc.'s (CRM) fiscal first-quarter loss widened as the Web-based business-software company recorded an increase in expenses as it looks to expand into new markets. Core earnings and revenue improved, however. The disappointing profitability, along with a lackluster guidance, weighed on Salesforce shares. The stock fell 6.1% premarket to $42.90.

Titan Machinery Inc. (TITN) revealed preliminary first-quarter results below analyst estimates. The equipment retailer said revenue was lower than it had expected in its agriculture and construction segments. Shares tumbled 13% to $19.49 in premarket trading as the company also cut its full-year earnings guidance.

Nordson Corp.'s (NDSN) fiscal second-quarter earnings rose 4.8% as the maker of dispensing equipment was helped by recent acquisitions and an absence of restructuring charges. Shares fell 4.3% to $69.99 in premarket trading, however, as Nordson projected third-quarter earnings and revenue below analysts' estimates.
