Early Movers: LULU, ORCL, JBL & More

Check out which companies are making headlines before the bell on Thursday:

Lululemon Atlectica - Lululemon's fourth-quarter profit beat estimates, but its current-quarter and full-year outlook are short of consensus. Earlier this week, Lululemon had warned that its fiscal-year outlook would fall short of projections, following the withdrawal of a popular line of yoga pants from its store shelves because they were too sheer.

Oracle - The software producer reported fiscal third-quarter profit of $0.65 per share, one cent below estimates. Revenue also fell short, as software sales and subscriptions dropped 2 percent compared to Oracle's forecast of a 3-13 percent rise.

Jabil Circuit - Jabil also fell one cent short of Street estimates, reporting fiscal second-quarter profit of $0.53 per share, though revenue did slightly exceed Street forecasts. The contract electronics maker also forecast current-quarter earnings and revenue below analyst estimates. Analysts point to the fact that Jabil's largest customer, Apple, is currently preparing for product transitions.
