Stocks to Watch: Alphabet, Hartford Financial Services, Valvoline

By James Willhite 

Here are some of the companies with shares expected to trade actively in Tuesday's session. Stock movements noted by ticker reflect movements during regular trading hours.

Alphabet: Google's parent company shared financial results for the first time for a number of its operations, but the new disclosures failed to distract investors from disappointing performance in its core advertising business.

Hartford Financial Services: The insurance company said profit almost tripled for the fourth quarter, as it reported gains in its property-and-casualty and group-benefits businesses.

Valvoline : The automotive products company reported first-quarter earnings that beat analysts' forecasts.

Houlihan Lokey: A federal regulator hired the investment bank to help recapitalize Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, in a contract valued at up to $45 million over about five years. Houlihan Lokey also reported third-quarter earnings Monday after markets closed.

Ford, Chipotle Mexican Grill, Aflac, ConocoPhillips and Walt Disney are among the companies reporting earnings on Tuesday.
