Tech Stocks in Motion

Shares of SeaChange International(SEAC) were among technology's losers Wednesday, falling 17% after the digital video systems company posted second-quarter results that missed Wall Street expectations by a wide margin.

The company reported a loss of $6.6 million, or 23 cents a share, on sales of $26.2 million. Analysts surveyed by Thomson First Call were expecting a profit of 1 cent a share on sales of $35.6 million. A year ago the company earned $3.3 million, or 12 cents a share, on sales of $43 million.

Looking ahead, SeaChange issued full-year guidance that disappointed investors. "Given the temporary slowdown in the on-demand market, we believe our revenues for the year will be less than our previously issued guidance of $160 million," the company said. Analysts had been expecting sales of $151.9 million. Shares were trading down $1.20 to $5.79.

Silicon Image(SIMG) rose 2% after the chipmaker appointed Robert Freeman as interim chief financial officer and chief accounting officer. Freeman is taking over the CFO position for Darrel Slack, who is on a leave of absence for personal reasons. Freeman is taking over the chief accounting position because Dale Brown is resigning, effective Aug. 31, to pursue other interests. Shares were trading up 21 cents to $9.30.
