Safety Insurance (SAFT) saw lower fourth-quarter earnings of $22.9 million, or $1.42 a share, compared with $27 million, or $1.69 a share, a year ago. Wall Street was seeking 6 cents more from the Boston-based insurer. Shares were off $4.13, or 9.1%, to $41.24.
International Securities Exchange (ISE) dropped after a lawsuit filed against it was returned to the Illinois state court, following the ISE's success at changing the venue. The Chicago Board Options Exchange and others filed the suit in order to prevent the ISE from trading index options on the Standard & Poor's main index or the Dow Jones Industrial Averarge, which it is currently prevented from doing. ISE shares were down $3, or 6.3%, to $44.93.
