Perrigo – The drugmaker reported adjusted quarterly profit of $1.09 per share, beating estimates by 8 cents a share despite revenue coming in slightly short of forecasts. The company cut its full-year guidance due to challenges in its generic drug business, among other factors.
DR Horton – The home builder matched Street forecasts with quarterly profit of $1.22 per share, while revenue fell below estimates. The company also raised its quarterly dividend to 15 cents per share from 12 1/2 cents.
Party City – The party supplies retailer missed estimates by 10 cents a share, with quarterly profit of 8 cents per share, and revenue also fell short of Wall Street forecasts as comparable-store sales fell 1 percent. Party City also cut its full-year outlook amid operational disruptions, increased inflationary pressures, and slightly lower-than-expected sales.
Monster Beverage – The beverage maker's shares are under pressure, on news that Coca-Cola may be allowed to release two competing drinks. The two companies signed a cooperation agreement in 2015 that did contain some competitive exemptions, but they disagree over whether those exemptions apply in this case.
L Brands – The retailer raised its current-quarter forecast, based on better-than-expected performance at its Bath & Body Works unit. L Brands, which is also the parent of Victoria's Secret, reported an October company-wide comparable-store sales increase of 4 percent.

Qualcomm – Qualcomm reported adjusted quarterly earnings of 90 cents per share, 7 cents a share above estimates. The chipmaker's revenue also came in above Wall Street forecasts, however Qualcomm's current-quarter revenue forecast was below consensus estimates due largely from the loss of chip sales to Apple.

Roku – Roku posted an adjusted loss of 9 cents per share, 3 cents a share smaller than Wall Street was expecting.

News Corp – News Corp reported adjusted quarterly profit of 17 cents per share, well above the consensus estimate of 4 cents a share. The Wall Street Journal owner's revenue was essentially in line with forecasts. Results were boosted by the expansion of News Corp's subscription video services business.
Take-Two Interactive – Take-Two beat estimates by 12 cents a share, with adjusted quarterly profit of $1.05 per share,. The videogame maker's revenue also exceeded forecasts and Take-Two raised its full-year outlook following an upbeat debut for its "Red Dead Redemption II" videogame.
