U.S. HOT STOCK FUTURES: HOT STOCKS TO WATCH

Among the companies with shares expected to actively trade in Tuesday's session are Best Buy Co. (BBY), Urban Outfitters Inc. (URBN) and American Woodmark Corp. (AMWD).

Best Buy's fiscal second-quarter profit slumped 91% as the big-box consumer-electronics retailer logged a restructuring charge and saw same-store sales continue to decline, pushing results well below expectations.

Urban Outfitters's fiscal second-quarter earnings rose 8.1% as the youth-focused apparel retailer continued to report top-line growth. Shares were up 16% at $36.22 premarket as the results beat expectations.

Cabinet and vanity maker American Woodmark swung to a surprise fiscal first-quarter profit, helped by strong demand from new-construction customers. Shares surged 15% to $20.99 premarket.

Tech Data Corp.'s (TECD) fiscal second-quarter earnings fell 31% as the wholesale distributor of information-technology products saw its sales take a hit from weakening foreign currencies and a change in how certain contracts are reported. Shares slumped 8% to $47.99 premarket.

Nordson Corp.'s (NDSN) fiscal third-quarter earnings rose 18%, with organic volume and backlog rising sharply for the maker of dispensing equipment, though higher expenses continued to pressure margins. Shares jumped 15% premarket to $62.99 as the company predicted stronger-than-expected current-quarter results and beat its already-upbeat third-quarter revenue guidance.

Yellow-page companies Dex One Corp. (DEXO) and SuperMedia Inc. (SPMD) have agreed to merge in an all-stock deal. The yellow pages business, like the newspaper industry, hasn't benefited from a broader advertising recovery as more consumers and ad dollars migrate to the web, causing an accelerated decline for the industry over the past few years. Shares of Dex One surged 31% to $1.62 in recent premarket trading, while shares of SuperMedia were inactive from a Monday close at $2.58.

Israel-based drug developer Pluristem Therapeutics Inc. (PSTI) said it has renewed a five-year partnership with a German research institution, a collaboration Chief Executive Zami Aberman said has been highly supportive of its product pipeline. Shares jumped 5.5% to $4.22 premarket.

Daktronics Inc.'s (DAKT) fiscal first-quarter earnings jumped a bigger-than-expected 98% as the maker of larger-screen electronic displays saw a 29% rise in orders in the Live Events business, driven by projects across both college and professional facilities. Shares were up 16% to $9.50 premarket.
