Dow Jones News
Among the companies with shares expected to trade actively in
Thursday's session are Seagate Technology PLC (STX), Netflix Inc.
(NFLX), and Five Prime Therapeutics Inc. (FPRX).
Seagate Technology said Thursday that its revenue and gross
margin will likely fall short of expectations for its latest
quarter, as the data-storage company struggles with weak demand.
Shares of Seagate fell 14% to $41.29 in premarket trading.
Netflix added fewer subscribers in the U.S. in the September
quarter than it had anticipated, renewing concerns of a domestic
slowdown when the video company has again raised domestic prices,
testing the loyalty of customers amid stiffer competition. Shares
fell 5.6% to $104.05 premarket.
Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. (BMY) said Thursday it has struck an
exclusive licensing and collaboration deal to develop and market
cancer treatments with Five Prime Therapeutics. Shares of Five
Prime shot up 62% to $27.50 premarket.
Manitowoc Co. (MTW), in the process of separating its crane and
food-service equipment segments, on Wednesday cut its full-year
projections for its struggling crane segment and said it was taking
"aggressive action, including plant rationalization and
right-sizing the business" to offset a decline in revenue due to
lower demand. It didn't specify what actions it was taking. Shares
tumbled 15% to $13.85 premarket.
HCA Holdings Inc. (HCA) warned Wednesday that profit would fall
below Wall Street expectations, in part because of higher labor
costs and an increase in uninsured admissions. Shares fell 9.2% to
$69.00 premarket.
Philip Morris International Inc. (PM) on Thursday nudged up its
earnings guidance for the year, as revenue and profit topped Wall
Street expectations in the third quarter despite currency impacts
and an overall decline in cigarette volume. Shares of the tobacco
company gained 1.7% to $85.90 in early trading.
UnitedHealth Group Inc. (UNH) said its revenue soared 27% in its
third quarter, as the health insurer continues to expand its
health-services business and add members in its insurance
operations. Shares fell 3.3% to $118.00 premarket.
PPG Industries Inc. (PPG) said its third-quarter earnings rose
17% as a boost from acquisitions and benefits from cost-control
efforts offset a hit from negative currency impacts.
Fairchild Semiconductor International Inc. (FCS) said its loss
widened in its latest quarter, hurt by declining revenue and costs
linked to restructuring and a factory closure.
U.S. Bancorp (USB) said its profit rose in the third quarter, as
loan growth and higher credit- and debit-card fees offset increased
expenses.
Xilinx Inc. (XLNX) said its earnings fell 26% on weaker sales in
the latest quarter, though its per-share profit beat
expectations.
Regional lender KeyCorp (KEY) said third-quarter profit rose,
thanks to higher commercial lending and increased fee revenue,
though a key measurement of lending profitability slipped.
BB&T Corp. (BBT) said its profit slipped in the latest
quarter, as merger-related costs offset loan growth and deposit
growth.
Defense company Northrop Grumman Corp. (NOC) on Wednesday
announced a segment realignment and said it was restoring the chief
operating officer position, last held by Wesley G. Bush when he was
promoted to chief executive.
U.S. health regulators have rejected Pfizer Inc.'s (PFE)
supplemental new drug application to treat adult patients with
moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis, the company said
Wednesday.
