Tech Five: Salesforce jumps off earnings

Earnings news is pushing stock prices for a handful of tech companies Thursday. Let's take a look at the technology stocks to watch:

Salesforce.com. Shares of the cloud computing company are up nearly 4% in pre-market trading after just beating analysts' profit and revenue estimates for the first quarter. Meanwhile, its outlook for the second quarter -- $1.59 billion to $1.6 billion in revenue -- matched Wall Street expectations.

Best Buy. The electronics retailer's shares surged 8% after reporting first quarter results well ahead of forecasts. The company reported earnings of 36 cents a share, topping estimates of 29 cents. Best Buy revenue hit $8.56 billion.

Hewlett-Packard. The personal computing giant reports second quarter earnings after the markets close Thursday. Analysts are projecting earnings of 86 cents a share off revenue of $25.63 billion.

Apple. Smart products running through the company's HomeKit tools will likely run through an app called "Home," reports 9to5Mac. The app would be available in iOS 9, the next version of the operating system that is expected to arrive this fall.

Netflix. The streaming video giant will roll out a redesigned interface for Web users starting next month, reports TechCrunch. The new interface will more closely resemble the design of its mobile apps.
