Deere plows past estimates; HP disappoints, HPE not as much; Costco E.coli outbreak

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

Deere (DE) handed in better than expected earnings and revenue for its fiscal fourth quarter as weak global demand for farm equipment was offset by cost cuts.

HP (HPQ), which started trading as two separate companies at the beginning of November, is posting its final quarterly report as a combined company. Hewlett-Packard posted a miss on both its top and bottom lines for its fiscal fourth quarter. From the two former HP companies, the guidance for Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) was a lot more encouraging.

TiVo (TIVO) posted earnings that missed analysts' estimates for the third quarter, as higher costs weighed on profits but revenue topped forecasts. Sales rose nearly 17% percent from a year earlier thanks to record subscriber growth and distribution agreements.
