Advanced Micro Devices (NYSE:AMD - News) shares fell 9.5% after it said it sees fourth-quarter revenue, excluding ATI, rising 3% sequentially. The Sunnyvale, Calif.-based chip company said it expects operating income in the quarter, excluding ATI and acquisition-related charges, to be "substantially" lower than in the third quarter due to lower microprocessor average selling prices.
CalAmp (NASDAQ:CAMP - News) shares dropped 7.7% after it reported third-quarter net earnings of $896,000, or 4 cents a share, down from $5.44 million, or 23 cents a share, during the year-ago period. The Oxnard, Calif.-based provider of wireless equipment posted revenue of $61.1 million vs. $64.5 million a year ago.
Cablevision Systems' (NYSE:CVC - News) shares slipped more than 4% following news that the company's founding family has lifted its bid to take the cable operator private. Charles and James Dolan, who say this is their final offer, are proposing to acquire the company's shares for $30 a share in cash, valuing the total equity at about $8.9 billion and representing a 25.4% premium to the closing price of Cablevision shares at the time of the previous offer. That proposal, made last October, was for $27 a share, or $7.9 billion. The latest offer expires at the close of business on Jan. 17.
Jewett-Cameron Trading Co. Ltd. (NASDAQ:JCTCF - News) shares dropped 23% after the company reported earnings of $287,883, or 18 cents a share, for the quarter ended Nov. 30, down from a profit of $550,391, or 36 cents a share, a year earlier. Revenue fell 15% in the period to $15.5 million from $18.2 million last year, primarily due to lower market prices for structural products and lower volumes due to slowing in the recreational boating, transportation and laminated veneer lumber sectors.
Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX - News) shares slipped more than 6% after it was downgraded to neutral from overweight at J.P. Morgan.
Northwest Airlines Corp. (Other OTC:NWACQ.PK - News) shares fell almost 13% after it filed a plan of reorganization with the bankruptcy court, a deal that would give the airline's unsecured creditors an unspecified amount of stock in the carrier, and said it would report a significant improvement in 2006 earnings.
Pool Corp. (NASDAQ:POOL - News) shares fell more than 10% after it lowered its outlook for fiscal 2006, saying it now expects earnings of $1.74 to $1.75 a share, below a prior projection for a profit of $1.82 per share. The Covington, La., distributor of swimming pool and backyard products attributed the shortfall to lower gross margins, flat base business sales growth, and a negative contribution from new stores.
RC2 Corp. (NASDAQ:RCRC - News) shares dropped about 12% after it said it expects annual per-share income to miss its prior outlook of $2.52 to $2.62 due to lower-than-expected sales and profit margins. The toy company said sales from continuing operations for the fourth quarter were flat to slightly down compared with a result of $154 million during the same period in the prior year.
Rogers Corp. (NYSE:ROG - News) shares slumped more than 6% after it said it now expects fourth-quarter earnings of 68 cents to 72 cents a share, down from its previous forecast of 90 cents to 93 cents a share. The Rogers, Conn.-based specialty materials manufacturer also said it now sees net sales for the quarter of about $122 million. The company's previously announced net sales outlook was $122 million to $126 million. Additionally, Rogers said it expects full-year per-share earnings of at least $2.64 on revenue of $454 million.
Terayon Communications (Other OTC:TERN.PK - News) shares fell more than 16% after it was downgraded to hold from buy at Jefferies & Co. The firm also cut its price target on the stock to $2.20 from $3.35, citing disappointing results for the third quarter.

RC2 Corp. cut its 2006 earnings forecast after the bell Thursday, and traders responded by sending the shares plummeting in aftermarket activity.
The Oak Brook, Ill.-based toy maker said it expects profit for the quarter to come in below its prior guidance because fourth-quarter sales were "flat to slightly down" from the year early and margins were hurt by high prices for the zinc used its die-cast models. The company also expects to take charges for several discontinued product lines.
In late trading, RC2 shares dropped $7.93, or 17.8 percent, to $36.60 per share, after closing at $44.53 on the Nasdaq.
Shares of electronics data company IHS Inc. also took a beating in the extended session after the company announced a 15 percent drop in fourth-quarter profit as operating expenses rose.

CalAmp Corp. shares lost 38 cents, or 4.7 percent, to $7.69 in after-hours trading, after the Oxnard, Calif., telecommunications equipment maker said its fiscal third-quarter profit and revenue fell. The company also forecast its fourth-quarter results will come in lower than last year.
Also on the downside was Murphy Oil Corp., which said after the close it expects its fourth-quarter profit will come in short of Wall Street expectations.
Shares of the El Dorado, Ark.-based company lost 94 cents, or 2 percent, to $45.31. Murphy Oil stock finished the regular session at $46.25 on the NYSE.
Among the aftermarket winners was Onstream Media Corp., which added to regular session gains spurred by news the digital media company will be offering live QuickTime encoding and streaming, enabling their customers to reach Apple Macintosh users when Webcasting.
