Earnings Round-Up

1. Samsung (SSNLF) stock closed at a new record Thursday after it reported a solid first quarter and conceded to a push by activist investor Elliott Management to boost returns by cancelling some of the shares it holds in its treasury.

2. Ford (F) - Get Report posted stronger-than-expected earnings Thursday but cautioned that rising costs will hit its full-year bottom line.

4. Southwest Airlines (LUV) - Get Report missed analysts' expectations for its first-quarter earnings, reporting adjusted earnings of 61 cents a share on revenue of $4.9 billion, sending shares down in premarket trading.

5. Lufthansa (DLAKY) fell to the foot of the market in Germany Thursday after a cautious tone from management led investors to overlook what was otherwise a solid set of first-quarter numbers from the flagship carrier.

7. Nokia Oyj (NOK) - Get Report shares surged to the top of the market in Paris after the network equipment maker said it was "cautiously optimistic" for the full year even as it posted a slowing in first quarter sales.
