Oracle. Shares are up more than 2% in pre-market trading after the software giant after hiking its quarterly dividend by 25% to 15 cents a share. For the third quarter, Oracle reported a 4% dip in profit and $9.3 billion in revenue, meeting Wall Street expectations.

Adobe. Shares plunged 4.4% after the software company reported a slower rise in the number of Creative Cloud suite subscriptions, reports Reuters. Also, the company's profit for the second quarter fell short of forecasts.

Microsoft. The tech giant announced it will launch its latest operating system, Windows 10, this summer. It will be free for PCs, smartphones running Windows 8.1 and the Xbox One.
