Chico's FAS - The apparel retailer earned 27 cents per share for the second quarter, missing estimates by five cents, with revenue short of consensus as well. Comparable store sales fell 2.6 percent.

Express - The retailer matched Street estimates by earning 20 cents per share for the second quarter, with revenue beating consensus. Same store sales rose six percent during the quarter, and the company has also raised its full year guidance to reflect improving sales and customer traffic.

TiVo - the digital video recorder company reporting a second quarter loss of 9 cents per share, a cent smaller than the Street had been expecting. Overall, TiVo reported a profit due to gains from litigation.

New York Times - The newspaper's web site was shut down by hackers Tuesday, with a group calling itself the "Syrian Electronic Army" claiming responsibility for the problem.

Apple - Judge Denise Cote will issue a court ruling in the case involving e-book sales next week. Her planned ruling on remedies follows the court's finding that Apple conspired with publishers over e-book prices in 2010.

Avago Technologies - Avago earned 67 cents per share, excluding certain items, for its fiscal third quarter, five cents above estimates, with revenue also beating consensus. The company, whose chips are used in Apple products, is also predicting better than expected revenue for the current quarter.

U.S. Airways - The government has requested a trial date of March 3, 2014, in its case opposing the mergerof U.S. Airways and American Airlines. The airlines want a November trial date, with American calling the request for a March date "entirely unreasonable" since the Department of Justice has been investigating the proposed deal for more than 16 months.

Groupon - Groupon is planning to put together a North American warehouse network for its physical goods business, according to the Wall Street Journal. That would put it in more direction competition with online retail giant Amazon.com.
