Cisco (CSCO) reported stronger-than-expect​ed first quarter results and generally in-line second quarter earnings guidance, sparking an upgrade at Pacific Crest and a 6% rally in its shares.

Among the notable market gainers Wednesday was Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF), which surged over 27% after its better-than-expected​ quarterly results and full-year guidance prompted at least four upgrades of its stock. 

Also higher were shares of Facebook (FB), up 9% in spite of a massive IPO lock-up expiration that allowed employees and early investors in the company to sell their shares. 

Among the noteworthy losers were IAMGOLD (IAG), down 18% after reporting its quarterly results and revising its gold production guidance for its next fiscal year, and Stamps.com (STMP), down 11% after Craig-Hallum said the company's site experienced a number of outages in November due to IT issues.
