The airline also lowered its adjusted earnings forecast to 30 cents to 50 cents per share from a prior range of 70 cents to $1 a share. Verizon Communications — The mobile phone and internet service provider dropped around 6.6% after saying wireless subscriber growth in the first quarter will soften due to off-season promotions by competitors.

The changes came after pressure from activist investor Elliott Investment Management.
