DocuSign advanced 1.3% to $48.40 after the software company reported higher-than-expected fiscal fourth-quarter results. 

Total revenue in the quarter increased 8% to $836.8 million from $776.5 million, net income advanced to $90.3 million from $83.5 million, and diluted earnings per share rose to 44 cents from 39 cents a year ago.

The company repurchased $269.1 million of its stock in the quarter compared to $161.7 million in the same period last year.

The company's Board of Directors approved the expansion of its stock repurchase plan by as much as $2 billion; the current remaining stock repurchase program is worth $2.6 billion. 

The company's outlook for the current quarter and fiscal year also surpassed market expectations. 

The software company guided fiscal first-quarter revenue to range between $822 million and $826 million, an increase of 8% from a year ago. 

Dollar General Corp. gained 2.3% to $134.85 after the deep discount retailer reported better-than-expected results in the fiscal fourth quarter ending on January 31.

Net sales increased to $10.9 billion from $10.3 billion, net income soared to $426.3 million from $191.2 million, and diluted earnings per share rose to $1.93 from 87 cents a year ago. 

In the quarter a year ago, the earnings per share included a negative impact of approximately $0.81 per share related to the "store portfolio optimization review."

Same-store sales in the fiscal year rose 3.0%, driven by a 4.3% increase in sales in the fourth quarter. 

The fiscal year same-store sales rise reflected increases of 1.6% in customer traffic and 1.4% in average transaction amount and was driven by a growth in each of the consumables, seasonal, home products, and apparel categories.

The company's Board of Directors announced a 59-cent per share dividend payable on April 21 to shareholders on record on April 7. 

For the fiscal year 2026, the company estimated net sales to rise between 3.7% and 4.2%, diluted earnings per share between $7.10 and $7.35, and same-store sales growth in the range between 2.2% and 2.7%. 

Lululemon Athletica decreased 0.8% to $157.78 after the athletic apparel retailer reported its results for the fiscal fourth quarter ending on February 1 and issued an outlook for the current fiscal year. 

Net revenue in the quarter increased 1% to $3.64 billion from $3.61 billion, net income decreased to $586.8 million from $784.8 million, and diluted earnings per share declined to $5.01 from $6.14 a year ago. 

Comparable store sales increased 3%, driven by a 1% decrease in the Americas and a 16% jump in international locations. 

In the quarter, the company repurchased 1.4 million of its shares for a cost of $269.1 million and opened 15 net new stores, ending with 811 stores. 

The specialty apparel retailer reported better-than-expected fiscal fourth-quarter results, but the company's fiscal 2006 sales outlook between $11.35 billion and $11.50 billion fell short of market expectations.
