Pop & Drop
Following are the day's biggest winners and losers. Find out why shares of Illumina popped while Posco dropped and more.

POPS (stocks that jumped higher)

Church & Dwight [CHD  Loading...      ()   ] popped 3%. The company behind Arm & Hammer and Trojan condoms said sales of electric toothbrushes and kitty litter led to a 32% increase in profits. Adami: The company was happy with guidance. It’s a buy.

Illumina [ILMN  Loading...      ()   ] popped 10%. This maker of gene analysis tools forecast a profit that beat expectations. Macke: This has long been a favorite of the shorts and has been tortured on the way up.

DROPS (stocks that slid lower)

Posco [PKX  Loading...      ()   ] dropped 8%. Higher raw costs led Goldman Sachs to cut this Korean steelmaker to “sell.” Jon Najarian: Iron ore and coal prices are too high for profitable steelmaking.

Emerson [EMR  Loading...      ()   ] dropped 4%. Demand for power systems from refineries led to a 27% jump in earnings but the stock still fell. Finerman: should have been a pop, not a great day to release good numbers

Toyota [TM  Loading...      ()   ] dropped 4%. Slowing U.S. demand and a weaker dollar may hurt earnings this quarter, according to the company. Macke: If it has wheels, sell it.

SiRF Technologies [SIRF  Loading...      ()   ] dropped 55%. Pricping pressure hurt profits at this maker of GPS chips. Jon Najarian: GPS devices are not in demand and probably won’t be until next Christmas.
