The company reported better-than-expected second-quarter results but guided to third-quarter earnings below consensus.

Among the notable gainers were Pandora (P), up 15%, after its quarterly losses were not as steep as expected and William Blair said the company continues to take market share, and PVH Corp. (PVH), up nearly 7%, after it raised its full year adjusted earnings view. Noteworthy losers included NetApp (NTAP), down over 14%, after the company provided significantly weaker than expected guidance for Q1, and Signet Jewelers (SIG), down about 10%, after guiding toward earnings in the current quarter well below the Street's view.
