Best Buy bests estimates; Toll Bros misses; Netflix buyers back

Bill McColl

Along with the overall market, here are some of the stocks the Yahoo Finance team will be watching for you today.

Best Buy (BBY)  The electronics retailer blew the doors off both profit and revenue forecasts in the second quarter. Best Buy sales at U-S stores were up 2.7%, while domestic online sales jumped 17%. And the company doesn't expect to see changes in consumer spending in the current quarter.

The Children's Place (PLCE) The kids' clothing retailer had a quarterly loss that matched expectations, but revenue came in light. The Children's Place says declining foot traffic hurt sales, forcing it to cut prices. It also blames the effects of the West Coast port strike for its disappointing numbers.

Toll Brothers (TOL) The luxury home builder falling short on both earnings and revenue in its fiscal third quarter. Toll Brothers says deliveries of new homes dropped 2%. However, contracts soared, with the average price of $834,000 dollars, the highest in the company's history. And Toll Brothers is optimistic about the long-term growth of the housing industry.

Syngenta (SYT) The Swiss agribusiness continues to be courted by Monsanto (MON), which apparently won't take no for an answer. Various reports say Monsanto is now upping its offer for Syngenta to $47 billion. That's $2 billion more than the proposal Syngenta turned down in May.

Netflix (NFLX) Just to add perspective to the crazy trading lately, shares soared in early trading even though there was no real news to report about the streaming video service that producers House of Cards and other programming. It's just that the high flying stock sank almost 7% yesterday...and had lost about a quarter of its value in the last week. Now the buyers--  who had doubled the price this year--  appear to be back for now.
