Following are the day’s biggest winners and losers. Find out why shares of State Street and Evergreen Solar popped while Exxon and Kimberly-Clark dropped.

POPS (stocks that jumped higher)

State Street (STT) popped 7%. The company's quarterly profit rose 50% and it now sees 2008 revenue growth above its previous forecast. – The stock should work but remember it’s in the financial services space, says Guy Adami.

MercadoLibre (MELI) popped 4%. The Latin e-commerce and online trading platform popped for no clear reason.

Evergreen Solar (ESLR) popped 11%. The solar power company signed a new $1.2 billion contract with German-based IBC Solar AG.

IKON Office Solutions (IKN) popped 4%. The digital copier and printer maker raised its forecast citing higher margins.

Activision Blizzard (ATVID) popped 7%. The 'Guitar Hero' videogame publisher took a new ticker and traded higher after boosting its first quarter guidance.

Boston Beer Company (SAM). Although the stock actually dropped we’re giving it a pop because in the wake of the Anheuser-Busch InBev merger, its now America's largest beer maker.

DROPS (stocks that slid lower)

Exxon Mobil (XOM) dropped 4%. The world's largest company by market cap got whacked by oil's big decline. I’d play Suncor and Petrobras instead, says Joe Terranova.

Kimberly-Clark (KMB) dropped 6%. The 'Huggies' maker dropped after Credit Suisse cut the company's price target. – I’d rotate over to P&G, says Jeff Macke.

Consol Energy (CNX) dropped 6%. Shares of the coal and gas producer slid on lower coal futures. – I think the resource area is cracked, says Tim Seymour.

Hess Corp. (HES) dropped 7%. The integrated oil company dropped as oil dropped. – They’re directly tethered to the price of crude, explains Joe Terranova. 

Eaton Corp. (ETN) dropped 7%. The industrial manufacturer, and maker of the new Corvette ZR-1's supercharger cut its forecast for the year citing customer weakness.

Polaris (PII) dropped 4%. The snowmobile and ATV maker slid despite beating the Street.
