UPDATE: BEFORE THE BELL -2: US HOT STOCKS TO WATCH11 days ago
Among the companies whose shares are expected to actively trade in Monday's session are Compugen Ltd. (CGEN), Freddie Mac (FRE) and RadioShack Corp. (RSH).
Compugen Ltd. (CGEN) said it discovered a genetic marker for predisposition to the most common form of diabetes, which could make it easier for doctors to determine who is at high risk. Shares soared 19% to $2.89 premarket on the news.
Freddie Mac posted a narrower third-quarter loss, but credit-loss provisions and the delinquency rate continued to rise as the mortgage financier continues to be hurt by the ongoing housing downturn. The year-ago loss was a record for Freddie, as the company's net worth had dipped below zero. Shares rose 1.6% to $1.25 in late trading Friday.
RadioShack said it plans to carry Apple Inc.'s (AAPL) iPhone in a limited number of stores in the Dallas-Fort Worth and New York City areas later this month. The electronics retailer expects to introduce the iPhone in stores nationwide in 2010. Shares jumped 5.9% to $18.79 after hours.
Windstream Corp.'s (WIN) third-quarter profit fell a larger-than-expected 24% as margins and revenue fell. Chief Executive Jeff Gardner said, however, that Windstream saw "solid broadband customer growth and our lowest line loss since we formed the company in 2006." Shares slid 2.7% to $10 premarket.
Dish Network Corp.'s (DISH) third-quarter earnings fell 12% despite posting another quarter of subscriber growth. Dish Network, the nation's second-largest satellite-television provider, also declared a one-time, $2 a share dividend. Shares rose 6% to $20.30 premarket.
Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (BRKA, BRKB), fresh off its agreement to purchase the rail giant Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corp. (BNI), posted a surge in third-quarter earnings, helped by a bounce in stock-index derivative contracts. Berkshire's earnings continue to rebound from a weak start to the year, when it posted a rare first-quarter loss amid the recession.
Nelnet Inc. (NNI) third-quarter earnings surged 95% amid a $9.7 million gain related to sale of student loans to the government.
Quicksilver Resources Inc. (KWK) eked out a third-quarter profit as hedging efforts limited the impact from plunging commodity prices. Year-earlier results were hurt by items that included write-downs related to the oil and gas producer's 40.5% stake in BreitBurn Energy Partners LP (BBEP). Quicksilver has been at odds with Breitburn over the past year or so about the company's direction.
Sun Microsystems Inc. (JAVA) reported a narrower-than-expected fiscal first-quarter loss, and the hardware and software company's revenue topped analyst estimates.
