Take a look at some of Wednesday's morning movers:
Target - The retailer earned for the second quarter, excluding certain items, 11 cents above estimates. It also raised its full-year earnings guidance.
Staples - The office supplies retailer earned $0.18 per share for its latest quarter, four cents shy of estimates. Staples said sales in North America were weaker than expected, and that the ongoing economic problems in Europe are impacting the company.
Abercrombie & Fitch - The teen retailer earned $0.19 per share for the second quarter, two cents above estimates, though revenue did fall short of consensus. The company called its quarter "disappointing." Abercrombie also increased its share buyback authorization by 10 million shares.
Deere - Deere earned $1.98 per share for its third quarter, well short of estimates of $2.31. Revenue was essentially in line with analysts' estimates. The heavy equipment maker calls the quarter strong, but said sales fell short of expectations in international markets.
