CKE Restaurants Inc. (NYSE: CKR) Q1 earnings increased but its revenue slipped.

IHS Inc. (NYSE: IHS) beat Q2 expectations and posted record quarterly cash flow from operations.
Jabil Circuit Inc. (NYSE: JBL) stronger-than-expected Q3 results led to an analyst's upgrade.
KB Home (NYSE: KBH) widened its Q2 loss due to weak sales and falling prices.

Monsanto Co. (NYSE: MON) beat Q3 earnings estimates but fell short of revenue estimates.

Palm Inc. (NASDAQ: PALM) posted dismal results as revenue fell despite higher sales volume.
Red Hat Inc. (NYSE: RHT) Q1 revenues soared as results beat Wall Street expectations.
Research in Motion Ltd. (NASDAQ: RIMM) posted disappointing results and lackluster guidance (transcript).

Sonic Corp. (NASDAQ: SONC) earnings warning took shares to a new 52-week low.
