BorgWarner (BWA) – The automotive components maker reported quarterly profit of $1.06 per share, well above the 75 cents a share consensus estimate. Revenue also came in above forecasts.

Zoetis (ZTS) – Zoetis was up 2% in premarket trading on better-than-expected quarterly results. Zoetis beat estimates by 4 cents a share, with quarterly earnings of $1.00 per share as improvement in its pet products business offset tepid results for livestock product sales.

Advance Auto Parts (AAP) – Advance Auto Parts beat estimates by 10 cents a share, with quarterly profit of $2.07 per share. The auto parts retailer’s revenue also beat analysts’ forecasts. Advance Auto’s sales were higher than a year before, but profit was lower as it dealt with inflationary headwinds. Shares fell 1% in premarket action.

Intuit (INTU) – Intuit lowered its current-quarter forecast as tax season gets off to a slow start.
