Among the companies with shares expected to actively trade in Tuesday's session are Citigroup Inc. (C), Coca-Cola Co. (KO) and Johnson & Johnson (JNJ).

Citigroup posted disappointing results for its third quarter as the bank, like its peers, was hit by a slump in fixed-income trading and mortgage-banking revenue. Both core earnings and revenue missed the estimates of analysts polled by Thomson Reuters. Shares dropped 1.2% to $48.99 premarket.

Coca-Cola's third-quarter earnings rose 5.9% as the world's largest beverage company posted volume growth, driven by gains in most markets. Shares rose 1.2% to $38.36 premarket.

Johnson & Johnson's third-quarter earnings edged up slightly as the health-products giant again was buoyed by new prescription drugs as it seeks to replace older blockbusters that have lost patent protection. Results beat expectations and J&J raised its per-share earnings estimate for the year. Shares edged up 1.1% to $90.82 premarket.

CSC ServiceWorks Inc. agreed to acquire Mac-Gray Corp. (TUC) in a deal valued at roughly $524 million that combines two providers of laundry-facilities services. The company's shareholders will receive $21.25 a share, a premium of 42% over Monday's closing price. Mac-Gray shares were up 41% at $21.05 premarket.

The other shoe may have dropped today at Molycorp Inc. (MCP) as the rare-earths miner announces plans to sell at least $200 million of stock, healthy dilution for a company with a $1.3 billion market cap. Molycorp said the fresh capital will go toward capital spending. The company has been burning money of late, and cash and cash equivalents was $264.2 million at midyear. This is the company's third capital raising in barely a year as it deals with cost overruns at a California facility, with the project now topping $1 billion. Shares plunged 19% to $5.77 premarket.

Flir Systems Inc. (FLIR) predicted lower-than-expected results for its third quarter, prompting the sensor-systems maker to cut its full-year outlook. The company also unveiled restructuring plans aimed at trimming costs. Shares dropped 7.8% to $30.59 premarket.

Coldwater Creek Inc. (CWTR) said it will evaluate its strategic alternatives--including a possible sale of the struggling women's apparel retailer. The company also said weakening same-store sales trends likely will result in fiscal third-quarter results falling short of its previous guidance. Shares tumbled 29% to 89 cents premarket.

Teradata Corp. (TDC), which provides data-warehousing, big-data analytics, and business applications, cut its year guidance as revenue in the third quarter came in lower than expected, according to a preliminary reading. Shares fell 15% to $44.49 premarket.

Biopharmaceutical company Savient Pharmaceuticals Inc. (SVNT) started voluntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings in a federal court in Delaware and said it seeks to conduct an auction and sale under Section 363 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Shares plunged 83% to 10 cents premarket.

Analog Devices Inc. (ADI) agreed to sell its microphone product line to InvenSense Inc. (INVN) for $100 million, as Analog aims to focus on its high priority markets.

Brown & Brown Inc.'s (BRO) third-quarter earnings rose 17% as the insurance agency and brokerage posted continued growth of commissions and fees.

Demand Media Inc. (DMD) said its board has accepted the resignation of Chief Executive and Chairman Richard Rosenblatt, and has appointed an interim CEO as it begins the search for a permanent replacement shortly and evaluates the timing of its spinoff plan.

Newfield Exploration Co.'s (NFX) chief financial officer, Terry W. Rathert, will retire from the company he helped found more than 25 years ago. The energy exploration and production company's board intends to name Lawrence S. Massaro to take over the financial chief role Nov. 11, while Mr. Rathert will remain with the company in an advisory role until August.

Packaging Corp. of America's (PKG) third-quarter profit more than doubled as the box maker was lifted by increased volumes and higher prices implemented earlier this year to offset higher materials prices. For the fourth quarter, however, the company said it expected to post seasonally lower volume due to two fewer shipping days, as well as lower production and higher costs related to an annual maintenance outage at a Michigan mill.

Resource Capital Corp. (RSO) said it plans to offer $100 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2018 in an underwritten public offering. The company said it plans to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, including acquisition of investments, loan originations and working capital. The company recently had a market capitalization of $768.4 million, according to FactSet.

Activist investor Clinton Group called on XenoPort Inc.'s (XNPT) chief executive to step down and change the company's capital allocation, claiming the biopharmaceutical company's shares are undervalued. Among its primary suggestions, Clinton called for the company to focus more resources toward its XP23829 drug and away from Horizant. A XenoPort representative wasn't immediately available for comment.
