Margins Under Pressure at OmniVision
OmniVision Technologies earned $0.20 a share in the fourth quarter and sees profit of no more than $0.11 in the first quarter. Analysts expected $0.22 and $0.29, respectively. Revenue is stronger than expected, but investors are focused on that margin implosion. OVTI drops 8 percent in the premarket.
Vera Earnings, Revenue Beat Expectations
Vera Bradley reported first-quarter profit of $0.31, beating the $0.29 average analyst estimate. Revenue of $117.2 million was also better than the $116.55 million consensus number. VRA climbs 5 percent before the bell on my tradeMONSTER platform.
