The Night Watch: Tibco Slides, but Corning Finds Buyers

 

Investors weren't in a forgiving mood after the close, and several stocks with news were incurring the wrath of their shareholders.

Tibco Software (TIBX Quote) was sinking 13% to $4.67 after the company warned that second-quarter financial results will fall short of analysts' estimates.

The extra session was even worse for eFunds (EFDS Quote), a provider of payment processing services. The company lowered its guidance and said its chief financial officer is leaving his post at the end of the month, sending the shares plunging 34% to $8.80.

Sierra Wireless (SWIR Quote), another warner, dropped 25% to $4.80 in the wake of its guidance.

There were a few bright spots, including Corning (GLW Quote), which rose 6% to $4.79 after the company said it will have cut 1,500 jobs by the end of the week.

On the whole, volume was on the lighter side. In the first 90 minutes of the extra session, about 2.5 million shares changed hands on the Instinet platform.

Among widely held technology stocks, Lucent (LU Quote) was up 1.6% to $3.18. Cisco (CSCO Quote) was slipping 0.4% to $16.02, and Intel (INTC Quote) was adding 0.2% to $27.55.

The Nasdaq 100 Unit Trust (QQQ Quote), Dell (DELL Quote), Sun (SUNW Quote), Siebel (SEBL Quote) and Oracle (ORCL Quote) were flat.
