The top after-market NASDAQ stock market losers are: Hansen Natural, Terremark Worldwide, Cubist Pharmaceuticals, National Beverage, Salix Pharmaceuticals, Dynamex, Merge Healthcare, Immucor, Cytokinetics, and P.F. Chang's China Bistro.
Hansen Natural Corp. (HANS) lost 3.41 percent to $49.30 in the after-hours trading.
Terremark Worldwide, Inc. (TMRK) plunged 3.21 percent to $12.35 in the after-market session.
Cubist Pharmaceuticals Inc. (CBST) plummeted 2.64 percent to $21.40 in the after-hours trading. The company said it lowered its fiscal 2010 revenue guidance to range of $634 million to $640 million from previous outlook of $645 million to $650 million, while analysts expect $647.61 million. The company said cost pressures in U.S. hospital continue to impact sales of branded therapies in the hospital setting.
National Beverage Corp. (FIZZ) fell 2.60 percent to $13.11 in the after-market session.
Salix Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (SLXP) dropped 2.26 percent to $43.66 in the after-hours trading. Credit Suisse initiated coverage of Salix with an 'outperform' rating and a price target of $55.
The brokerage said its price target is based on a discounted cash flow analysis, which assumes an 11 percent weighted average cost of capital and a 90 percent probability of FDA approval for Xifaxan in treating non-constipation irritable bowel syndrome or non-C IBS.
We rate SLXP Outperform because it offers a specialty pharma story with scarcity value; high organic revenue growth at the early stages; significant clinical and regulatory derisking of its lead product, Xifaxan; and an underappreciated margin expansion opportunity. We also believe SLXP's attractiveness as a takeout candidate adds option value, said M. Faerm, an analyst at Credit Suisse.
Dynamex Inc. (DDMX) tumbled 2.17 percent to $24.75 in the after-market session. The company said it has terminated the merger agreement previously entered into with affiliates of Greenbriar Equity Group LLC, as a result of the takeover proposal submitted to the company on Dec. 6 by TransForce Inc.
