Markets set to rebound at open after Monday's losses

Check out the companies making headlines before the bell:

Allergan – Allergan beat estimates by 3 cents a share, with adjusted quarterly profit of $4.38 per share. The drugmaker's revenue beat forecasts as well, driven by strong sales of products like Botox and Juvéderm. Allergan also raised its full-year revenue forecast.

Dean Foods – The milk producer lost an adjusted 36 cents per share for its latest quarter, wider than the 13 cents a share loss expected by Wall Street. Revenue was also short of estimates, Dean pointed to dairy commodity inflation, volume pressure, and an accelerated decline in the white milk category as negative factors during the quarter.

Energizer – Energizer reported adjusted quarterly profit of 37 cents per share, 9 cents a share shy of estimates. Revenue also missed forecasts. Energizer said strength in its battery business is being offset by weakness in auto-care products.

Edgewell Personal Care – The razor and personal-care products maker beat estimates by 16 cents a share, with adjusted quarterly profit of $1.11 per share. Revenue fell short of Street forecasts, however. The company also announced that after considering strategic alternatives, it has decided to retain its feminine care products unit, and said it still sees completing its acquisition of razor maker Harry's no later than the first quarter of 2020.

Mallinckrodt – The drugmaker reported adjusted quarterly profit of $2.53 per share, beating the consensus estimate of $2.08 a share. Revenue was above analysts' estimates, and the company also raised its full-year earnings forecast. Separately, Mallinckrodt suspended the plan spin-off of its specialty generics unit due to market conditions.

Mosaic – The fertilizer producer earned an adjusted 12 cents per share for its latest quarter, well short of the 29 cents a share consensus estimate. Revenue also missed forecasts, with Mosaic saying unprecedented wet weather in the U.S. Midwest hurt spring fertilizer sales. Mosaic also cut its full-year forecast.

Shake Shack – Shake Shack reported adjusted quarterly profit of 27 cents per share, 4 cents a share above estimates. The restaurant chain's revenue also came in above Wall Street forecasts. Same-restaurant sales were up 3.6%, beating the Refinitiv consensus estimate of 2%. The company also raised its full-year forecast as digital sales rise.

United Technologies, ADP — Pershing Square's Bill Ackman has sold his stakes in the two stocks, according to a source who spoke to CNBC.

Marriott – Marriott matched Street forecasts with adjusted quarterly profit of $1.56 per share, with the hotel chain's revenue missing estimates. Marriott also cut its full-year forecast for the key REVPAR (revenue per available room) metric, as weakening business travel impacts results.

Avis Budget – The car rental company came in 5 cents above estimates with adjusted quarterly profit of 79 cents per share. Revenue was slightly below Wall Street forecasts.
