Deluxe said the lower guidance reflects a pretax impairment charge of $45 million, or 56 cents a share, related to the abandonment of a software project. The company also blamed performance shortfalls in each segment and moves to improve its cost structure. "We are extremely disappointed in how the second quarter is coming in," the company said. Shares, which fell 18% Friday, recently were down another $2.24, or 13%, to $15.38.

Michaels Stores(MIK Quote) rose 2% after the arts-and-crafts retailer agreed to be acquired by private equity firms Bain Capital and the Blackstone Group for $44 a share, or more than $6 billion. The price reflects a 7% premium to Friday's closing price of $41.24 a share, and a 30% premium to its March 17 close, the last trading day before the company said it was seeking strategic alternatives. Bain and Blackstone will own equal stakes in the retailer after the deal's close, which is expected to occur by the end of the year. Michaels shares were trading up 76 cents to $42.

Shares of Wal-Mart(WMT Quote) fell 2% after the retailer said same-stores sales for June came in 1.2%, the low end of its previous guidance. Previously, the company projected growth of 1% to 3%. Shares were trading down 89 cents to $47.28.
