Westport Fuel Systems also beat profit and revenue estimates and shares traded up about 2% early Tuesday. CTI BioPharma was expected to report results on Monday but did not do so.

Canadian Solar
Solar module maker Canadian Solar Inc. (NASDAQ: CSIQ) has seen its share price fall by nearly 40% over the past 12 months. The stock’s annual high was posted last April, and its annual low in January.

Canadian Solar reports quarterly results first thing Thursday morning.
