Closing Bell: Profit taking is actually possible (COF, CSCO, SIRI, SYMC, VG, WMT)

Capital One Financial Corp. (NYSE: COF) rose significantly on reports that this credit card operator (bank) would not need to raise any extra capital from stress tests. Shares were up a sharp 19% at $26.70 right before the close. Keep in mind that this is one of the stress test banks.

Cisco Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CSCO) originally rose after beating earnings at $0.30 EPS vs. $0.25 estimates. Even though the guidance was above estimates at the mid-point. The stock was down 4.3% at $18.75 late in the day, down almost $2.00 from the post earnings high.

SIRIUS XM Radio (NASDAQ: SIRI) was a bomb despite posting a pro forma revenue gain of 5% from last year at $605.5 and posted $108.8 million in pro forma adjusted income from operations. It also raised its 2009 guidance for adjusted income from operations. Unfortunately shares tanked on a subscriber drop. Shares were down 18% at $0.43 after the close.

Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (NYSE: WMT) posted sales without fuel at +5.9%, above the 3% estimate. The company also said it was doing away with monthly sales reporting. Shares were up 1.4% at $50.22 late in the day.

Symantec Corporation (NASDAQ: SYMC) was hit hard despite beating earnings and giving 'close enough' guidance. A Downgrade caught this one again. Shares were down a sharp 14% at $15.05 before the close.

Vonage Holdings Corporation (NYSE: VG) spent most of the day coming off highs. But it was still up huge after posting a net profit after a gain was realized, and that was despite its zero growth in customers. Shares were up 14.8% at $0.55 late in the day.
