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

Among the companies with shares expected to actively trade in Tuesday's session are DeVry Inc. (DV), Baidu Inc. (BIDU, K3SD.SG) and VMware Inc. (VMW).

DeVry forecast downbeat results for its fiscal fourth quarter and said it plans to cut its workforce, as the for-profit educator said higher-than-anticipated operating costs and continued weakness in student enrollment continued to weaken its results. Shares slumped 22% to $21.40 after hours. The weak guidance also pressured peers Apollo Group Inc. (APOL), which runs the University of Phoenix, and ITT Educational Services Inc. (ESI). Apollo sank 7.4% to $26.78 and ITT fell 5.8% to $54 after hours.

Baidu's second-quarter profit grew 70% as the Chinese Internet-search giant saw its revenue still soaring on stronger ad sales, though costs continued to rise. American depositary shares jumped 5.3% to $112.77 as results beat analysts' estimates.

VMware Inc. (VMW) made its largest deal ever Monday, pushing deeper into the data-center business by agreeing to acquire networking company Nicira Inc. in a deal valued at $1.26 billion. The company also reported its second-quarter earnings slipped 13%. Shares were off 3.7% to $85.95 after hours.

Crestwood Midstream Partners LP (CMLP) lowered its full-year earnings guidance, noting the impact of delays in well completions on second-quarter results and moderated drilling activity in dry gas areas for the remainder of the year. Shares slid 3.9% to $27.70 after hours.

Pfizer Inc. (PFE), Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) and their partner, Elan Corp. (ELN), said Monday that a highly anticipated experimental drug for Alzheimer's disease called bapineuzumab wasn't effective at slowing memory loss in a large, late-stage clinical trial in patients with a high-risk genetic mutation. Elan, which has an approximately 25% stake in the drug, saw shares decline 18% to $11.10 after hours.

Sanmina-SCI Corp.'s (SANM) fiscal third-quarter profit fell 4.9% as the electronics manufacturing company saw demand suffer in an uncertain global economy. But the company said that it expects revenue to beat expectations in the current quarter, and shares jumped 12% after hours to $8.01.

Pharmaceutical company Zogenix Inc. (ZGNX) unveiled plans to offer an unspecified number of shares of common stock. It plans to use proceeds to repay debt, fund the development of its chronic-pain drug Zohydro and ongoing commercialization of its Sumavel DosePro needle-free delivery system, as well as for working capital and other general corporate purposes. Shares slipped 13% to $1.85 after hours.
