Agilent Technologies (A), a business dedicated to electronics used in chemical and biological testing, issued its fiscal first-quarter numbers after the bell today. The initial market reaction following the release was bearish: the shares were off by 1.8% to $44.

That might be a disappointment to those who own the company. The 52-week low for the shares is $26.68 while the 52-week high is $45.42. The stock is obviously near its top point for the year, so there was arguably some optimism in the air for the prospects of the price movement during the extended-hours session. Looking at the chart, it can be seen that Agilent has been on a notable run-up for a while.

Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp. (CTSH) was off today after the company issued results for the fourth quarter. With a little more than thirty minutes to go before the end of the regular session, I’m seeing a quote of $74.25, a price that represents a drop of about 1.6%. Volume is above average.

According to the press release, profit on a reported basis calculated out to 66 cents per share. A year ago, Cognizant booked 47 cents per share. On an adjusted basis, net income was 70 cents per share this time around versus 50 cents per share in the comparable period. Earnings.com says the call was for 65 cents per share.

Broadcom (BRCM), maker of semiconductors for the communications industry, had a tough time in Tuesday’s extended-hours session after the company released its latest earnings report. The stock went down 6% to a quote of $43.55. That was quite the reversal of fortune, as the shares had closed the regular session higher by 2.9%, settling out at $46.39. The 52-week high is $47.39, so the pullback might be considered a bit of a disappointment.

Then again, is a pullback in this name an opportunity? The business made, on an adjusted basis, 75 cents per share in the fourth quarter, according to MarketWatch. This was one penny better than the consensus estimate.
