These retailers are down after mixed earnings
From CNN Business’ Jordan Valinsky
- Burlington Stores (BURL) just released its fourth-quarter earnings. Despite profits beating expectations, it missed on sales. Guidance is in line with analysts forecasts, too. Shares are down more than 5% in premarket trading, wiping away all of its year-to-date gains.
- American Eagle (AEO) profits beat estimates, but its revenue fell short of analysts’ expectations. The retailer, which reported fourth-quarter earnings last night, said it expects this quarter’s profits to come in lower-than-expected because it’s spending money on expanding Aerie, its successful lingerie brand. Shares are down nearly 3% in premarket trading.

Huawei vs. the US government
From CNN Business’ Ivana Kottasová
Huawei announced it is suing the US government in its most aggressive move yet to fight back against accusations that its technology poses a global security threat.
The Chinese tech giant said Thursday that it has filed a lawsuit in Texas challenging a recent US law that bans federal agencies from buying its products.
The fight between the company and the US government is becoming more complex:
- US prosecutors have filed criminal charges against Huawei in Washington state and New York.
- Huawei pleaded not guilty in Seattle last week to charges that it tried to steal trade secrets from T-Mobile (TMUS).
- The company’s arraignment in Brooklyn on charges that it worked to skirt US sanctions on Iran is scheduled for later this month. Huawei’s chief financial officer, Meng Wanzhou, has also been charged in that case. She was arrested in Canada in December and faces extradition to the United States.
