SAN FRANCISCO (AFX) -- Shares of Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. and Juniper Networks Inc. remained active during Friday's after-hours trading session ahead of the long Memorial Day weekend.
Stock in Sirius Satellite hovered around its regular-session closing price of $4.18. The company has agreed to pay $2 million as part of a settlement of a lawsuit filed by CBS Corp. against the company and shock jock Howard Stern, according to CBS.
The payment is related to a transfer of rights to recordings of 'The Howard Stern Radio Show' that originally aired on CBS Radio.
Juniper Networks share-price movement was also muted, down 4 cents to $15.64. Shares edged 2% on Friday after Standard & Poor's said the networking-equipment maker will be added to the S&P 500 index and replace supermarket chain Albertson's , which is being acquired.
Shares of Chico's FAS Inc. and Credence Systems Corp. both gained ground.
Credence Systems rose 1.8% to $4.65. The shares plunged 28% during the regular session after the semiconductor-testing equipment firm said that it would stop production on a flash-memory project and forecast third-quarter results below Wall Street expectations. The stock also was downgraded.
Chico's FAS Inc. picked up 1% to $30.80. The women's clothing and accessories retailer late Thursday said that a nearly 20% increase in sales drove double-digit profit growth in its fiscal first quarter.
But Chico's also said that some tough same-store-sales comparisons for the remainder of the year led it to trim its 2006 earnings outlook. This story was supplied by MarketWatch. For further information see www.marketwatch.com.
