After-hours buzz: IM, JACK, DVN & more

Check out the companies making headlines after the bell Wednesday:

Wholesale technology distributor Ingram Micro saw its stock jump after news it would be acquired by Chinese shipping company Tianjin Tianhai in a $6 billion all-cash deal. The merger will allow the companies to expand bulk shipments to key Asian markets, according to the Associated Press.

Quick service restaurant Jack In The Box saw shares sink after its fiscal first-quarter earnings fell nearly 10 cents per share short of estimates. The burger chain, and owner of Qdoba Mexican Eats, pointed to increased competition for breakfast consumers as other chains, like McDonald's, moved in on their morning turf.

"Jack in the Box sales in the last part of the quarter were lower than we anticipated as several competitors began promoting aggressive value offers," Lenny Comma, the company's chairman and CEO, said in a statement. "We also experienced weakness at breakfast and lunch throughout the quarter, which we attribute primarily to our decision to shift the timing of some of our promotional activity around breakfast to the second quarter as compared to the first quarter of last year."

Shares of Newmont Mining dipped in extended trading after the company reported fourth-quarter earnings that fell short of Wall Street's expectations.

Newmont, one of the world's largest producers of gold, reported adjusted earnings of 4 cents a share, lower than the 13 cents expected by analysts, according to the AP. Spot gold prices are nearly flat over the past year.
