Hasbro – The toymaker's quarterly profit came in at an adjusted $1.84 per share, below the consensus forecast of $2.21. Revenue also missed estimates. The company said the threat of tariffs on toys imported from China significantly increased its shipping and warehousing costs.

Travelers – The property and casualty insurer earned an adjusted $1.43 per share for the third quarter, below the consensus estimate of $2.35 a share. Revenue beat forecasts, however, but the bottom line was hurt by an increase in asbestos reserve costs.

Harley-Davidson – The motorcycle maker earned 55 cents per share for its latest quarter, 3 cents a share above estimates. Revenue also topped expectations. The better-than-expected performance came despite a hit to the bottom line from a drop in U.S. sales and higher costs from European tariffs.

TD Ameritrade – TD Ameritrade reported adjusted quarterly profit of $1.05 per share, 7 cents a share above estimates. The online brokerage's revenue was also above Wall Street forecasts.

The stock came under pressure after the announcement, with investors having believed the company would be sold or go private.
