Allergan – AbbVie announced a deal to buy its rival drugmaker for $63 billion, excluding assumed debt, or $188.24 per share in cash and stock. That represents a 45% premium over Allergan’s Monday closing price. When debt is included, the deal is worth $83 billion.

Lennar – The home builder earned $1.30 per share for its second quarter, beating the consensus estimate of $1.14 a share. Revenue also came in above forecasts, although new orders were up just 1% from a year ago, while deliveries were up by 5%.

FactSet – The financial information provider reported adjusted quarterly profit of $2.62 per share, 25 cents a share above estimate. Revenue was also above forecasts. FactSet gave a full-year earnings forecast above current consensus, and also announced an increase of $210 million in its existing share repurchase program.
