Tenet Healthcare —The company posted fourth quarter profit of 43 cents per share, excluding certain items. That was nine cents above estimates, with revenue beating Wall Street forecasts as well. The hospital operator benefitted in part from higher revenue per patient admission.

Bloomin' Brands–The parent of the Outback Steakhouse and Bonefish Grill chains beat estimates by one cent with quarterly profit of 27 cents per share, with revenue essentially in line. The company said it is pleased with the quarter's performance in a difficult environment.

Cracker Barrel Old Country–The restaurant chain missed estimates by a penny with quarterly earnings of $1.55 per share, saying winter weather significantly impacted its results.

Domino's Pizza–The pizza chain beat estimates by two cents with quarterly profit of 78 cents per share, with revenue also above estimates. Domino's also raised its quarterly dividend to 25 cents per share from 20 cents.

Toll Brothers–Toll earned 25 cents per share for its latest quarter, seven cents above estimates, with the luxury home builder seeing profits rise more than tenfold over a year earlier.

JPMorgan Chase–The mega bank will cut several thousand more jobs in its mortgage business, according to the Financial Times. The bank had already planned to cut up to 15,000 positions in that unit.

Tractor Supply–The farm and ranch store operator increased its stock buyback program by $1 billion to a total of $2 billion.

Zulily–The company reported fourth quarter profit of 10 cents per share, excluding certain items, beating estimates by six cents, with revenue exceeding estimates as well. The daily deals site, which offers clothing and accessories for women and children, went public in November.

Live Nation–Live Nation reported a loss of 22 cents per share for the fourth quarter, smaller than the 37 cent loss expected by analysts. Its results were helped by increased revenue at its concerts and advertising businesses.

Facebook–The social network is retiring its facebook.com email address system, primarily because very few people used it.
