Movimentos no after-hours

[Joao Henriques]

Applied Materials (AMAT) 17.66 +0.17 (+1.0%)
Semiconductor equipment maker reported earnings of $0.17 a share for the quarter ended January 31, a penny ahead of expectations. Revenue was up 14.5% from the year-ago level, and also slightly ahead of expectations. New orders were $1.68 billion, down 36% from the previous quarter and about 1% from year-ago period. That was a slightly larger drop than traders expected. Gross margins were 44.3% compared to expectations of 44.4%. In their conference call, the company said that orders this quarter were likely to be flat to down 10% sequentially. The stock initially sold off on the January quarter orders numbers, but bounced back on the orders guidance for the second (April) quarter. 

Network Appliance (NTAP) 29.99 -4.37 (-12.3%)
Enterprise network storage company reports operating earnings of 0.16 a share for the quarter ended January 31, in line with expectations. Revenue was up 39% from the year-ago level and also slightly ahead of expectations. However, the company gave disappointing guidance for the current quarter. The company sees sequential quarterly revenue growth of 6% to 9%, which translates to approximately $437 to $450 million in revenue. The Reuters Earnings consensus is $451 million. The company sees earnings of $0.16 to $0.17 per share, compared to current expectations of $0.17. The stock trades at a very high multiple, so even these slightly disappointing numbers are being met with significant selling. 

Audible Inc. (ADBL)  19.39 -7.31 (-27.4%)
Internet audio company has seemingly strong earnings report, with profits of $0.06 per share, well ahead of the average Wall Street forecast of $0.03. But revenue was only $10.11 million, compared to expectations of $10.48 million. This is a small company, but it has traded almost 2 million shares after hours and is getting hammered after a strong run in recent months.
