Below is a synopsis of major quarterly releases from Thursday night and Friday morning:

Gap Profit Falls Slightly But Beats Views; Sales Down

Salesforce.com Net Doubles On Revenue Growth, Boosts Year View

Salesforce.com Inc.'s (CRM) profit more than doubled amid strong revenue growth, leading the company to raise its views for the fiscal year. Higher-than-expected revenue and earnings per share and a raised full-year 2010 outlook will help allay some recent concerns that the San Francisco-based company, which specializes in on-demand business software, was experiencing a transition to a lower growth phase. Shares soared 16% to $53.50.

Intuit's Red Ink Swells; Shares Off As Outlooks Disappoint

Intuit Inc.'s (INTU) loss widened as revenue edged down, but the tax and accounting software company topped Wall Street expectations. The company offered guidance for the current quarter and for fiscal 2010 that falls short of Wall Street expectations. Shares declined 7.2% to $28.63.

Mentor Graphics Loss Widens As Margins Fall; Shares Up On View

Mentor Graphics Corp.'s (MENT) loss - its sixth in the past two years - widened on lower margins. Shares jumped 14% to $9.05 as the chip-design software company's results topped its forecast. Mentor also forecast fiscal third-quarter results above analysts' estimates.

Foot Locker Breaks Even Amid Lower Sales, Margins; Misses Estimates

Foot Locker Inc. (FL) roughly broke even, compared with a profit in the prior year, as the company posted lower revenue and margins. Results missed Wall Street views, sending shares down 8.3% to $10.36.

Volume Increases, Folger Deal Spur JM Smucker Profit

J.M. Smucker Co.'s (SJM) earnings more than doubled, driven by its Folgers acquisition and volume increases at its U.S. retail businesses, exceeding Wall Street expectations. The company said fiscal-year earnings are more likely to be at the higher end of its June estimate. Shares climbed 4.5% to $54.22.

AnnTaylor Swings To Loss On Restructuring

Brocade Communications Systems Inc. (BRCD) swung to a loss on lower margins and higher expenses, despite a 35% increase in revenue.

ScanSource Earnings Dip On Rev Decline But Shares Rise On Forecast

Nordson Profit Sags on Lower Sales; Estimates Top Street Views

Nordson Corp.'s (NDSN) profit dropped 26% on lower sales, and the company predicted higher fiscal fourth-quarter and fiscal-year results than analysts had estimated. The dispensing-equipment maker's results also topped its own and Wall Street's forecasts. Shares climbed 9.1% to $54.38.

Verigy Swings To Loss On Declining Sales, Margins
