Cablevision sold; Oracle hurt by dollar; Rite Aid miss; Manchester United surprise

Here are some the stocks the Yahoo Finance team will be watching for you today.

Cablevision Systems (CVC) The New York-area cable provider is being bought by the Netherlands-based cable firm Altice for $17.7 billion. Altice is making a strong bid to be a player in the U.S. market.  Back in May, it purchased regional cable system Suddenlink...and failed in an effort to gobble up Time Warner Cable (TWC).

Oracle (ORCL) The computer technology provider is reporting a fiscal first quarter profit that beat estimates by a penny...but revenue came in light. As we've heard from many other companies this year, Oracle blames the strong dollar for the shortfall.  However, the company says it got a boost from a 29% increase in sales of its cloud-based products.

Herman Miller (MLHR) The furniture retailer handily beat quarterly estimates on both its top and bottom lines. Herman Miller says its profit rose despite being hurt by unfavorable exchange rates, thanks to strong demand in North America.

Rite Aid (RAD) The third-largest U.S. pharmacy chain had second quarter earnings that were half of what analysts expected...but revenue came in above estimates. Rite Aid is also cutting its full-year sales forecast and narrowing the range for its full year earnings.

Manchester United (MANU). The famous British soccer team had a smaller than expected loss in the quarter...and revenue also topped estimates.  Man-U says sponsorship revenue rose 14.1%...and its social media following increased by a whopping 50% to more than 100 million followers.

REGENEXBIO (RGNX) Today is its first day of trading at the Nasdaq. In the initial public offering last night, the biotech firm priced 6.3 million shares at $22 each-- well above the estimated $17 to $19 range.  REGENEXBIO is a Maryland-based company that develops gene therapies to treat serious diseases.
