Shares of DXP Enterprises(DXPE Quote) were among the Nasdaq's winners Thursday, jumping 20% after the distributor of maintenance, repair and operating products for industrial firms posted fourth-quarter results that pleased Wall Street.

The company earned $2.1 million, or 36 cents a share, on sales of $54.7 million. A single analyst polled by Thomson First Call expected earnings of 23 cents a share and sales of $46.3 million. During the year-earlier period, the company earned $645,000, or 12 cents a share, on sales of $37.7 million. "We feel that our sales and operational strategies position DXP well for the future and give us the ability to leverage these successes in future acquisitions," the company said.

Dana(DCN Quote) shares tumbled 23% after the auto-parts maker missed a $21 million debt payment. The company failed to make a March 1 payment on its 7% senior notes due March 1, 2029, and its 6.5% senior notes due March 1, 2009. The company said that it has a 30-day grace period with respect to the interest payments. "Failure to make the interest payments by March 31, 2006, would constitute an event of default under the indenture for the notes that would permit the indenture trustee, or holders of 25% or more of the notes, to accelerate the maturity of the notes," the company said in a statement after the market closed on Wednesday.
