J.C. Penney - Investor George Soros took a 7.9 percent passive stake in the retailer, making it the fifth-largest among J.C. Penney shareholders.
Amazon.com – The online retailer reported first-quarter profit of $0.18 per share, 10 cents above estimates, though revenue was slightly short of estimates. One of the most positive notes in Amazon's report was a gross profit margin of 26.6 percent, the highest in at least 10 ears.
Starbucks – Starbucks reported fiscal second-quarter profit of $0.48 per share, in line with estimates, though its current-quarter profit outlook is short of what analysts had been anticipating. For the full year, the coffee chain has raised its earnings-per-share outlook to $2.12 to $2.18 per share, compared to consensus estimates of $2.16 a share, as U.S. sales increase.
Expedia – Expedia earned $0.25 per share for the first quarter, excluding certain items, two cents above estimates, with revenue also beating analyst estimates. The travel services provider's growth has been helped by technology upgrades, with gross bookings up 16 percent in the latest quarter.
Yahoo - Chairman Fred Amoroso resigned effective immediately, to be replaced by current director Maynard Webb Jr. Amoroso had told Yahoo when he became chairman last year that he only intended to serve for one year.
Goodyear Tire - Goodyear earned $0.45 per share for the first quarter, excluding certain items, 15 cents above estimates. Revenue, however, was below estimates, partly on weakness on Goodyear's European markets.
Baidu – Baidu reported first-quarter profit of $1 per share, excluding certain items, missing estimates by three cents. China's largest search engine saw its results impacted by higher traffic acquisition costs.
Coinstar – Coinstar earned $0.93 per share for the first quarter, seven cents above estimates, and raised its full-year profit forecast.
