Check out the companies making headlines midday Friday:

Foot Locker — Shares of Foot Locker were down 16% after the shoe retailer reported adjusted quarterly earnings per share that were 7 cents below expectations. Sales also came in below forecasts, and an increase in same-store sales of 4.6% missed estimates of analysts polled by Refinitiv.

Autodesk — Autodesk dropped more than 4% after missing on the top and bottom lines of its first-quarter results. Autodesk posted earnings per share of 45 cents on revenue of $736 million. Analysts expected earnings per share of 47 cents on revenue of $740 million, per Refinitiv. Autodesk gave second-quarter revenue and earnings per share guidance in line with estimates.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise — Shares of HP Enterprise rose 0.5% after reporting better-than-expected second-quarter earnings. The information technology company posted earnings per share of 42 cents. Wall Street expected earnings per share of 37 cents, according to Refinitiv.

Ross Stores — Ross Stores fell 1.8% on a disappointing quarterly outlook. For the second quarter, the retailer estimates earnings per share between $1.06 and $1.11, compared to Refinitiv’s estimate of $1.14. The weak guidance overshadowed strong first-quarter earnings. Ross earned $1.13 per share on revenue of $3.80 billion. Analysts polled by Refinitiv expected the company to report a profit of $1.12 per share on sales of $3.79 billion.

Intuit — The TurboTax parent’s stock rose more than 6% after the company raised its fiscal full-year outlook. Intuit said it expects fiscal 2019 earnings to range between $6.67 per share and $6.69 per share. That’s above a Refinitiv forecast of $6.55.

Splunk — Shares of the software company dropped more than 7% as analysts raised concerns over the company’s free-cash-flow outlook. The company lowered its free-cash-flow estimate for fiscal 2020 to $250 million from $350 million. That negated stronger-than-forecast quarterly results.

Amazon — Amazon shares climbed 0.4% after an analyst at Piper Jaffray said the e-commerce giant’s stock could reach $3,000 in two years. The analyst wrote in a note that “we have a high degree of confidence that AMZN shares can reach this level with no major acquisitions or other significant changes to the business.”
