Macrovision plunges,($37-$32) App. Materials slips

NEW YORK, Dec 12 (Reuters) - The shares of Macrovision Corp. (NasdaqNM:MVSN - news) tumbled sharply in extended hours trading on Tuesday, after the company became the latest to re-state earnings at the lower end of analysts' estimates.

Macrovision's stock dropped to $32.01 in after-hours trading, well below its regular session closing level of $37.80. The Sunnyvale, Calif.-based supplier of copy protection technologies said it expected its business environment to remain ``challenging'' through the first half of the year.

Applied Materials Inc. (NasdaqNM:AMAT - news) also saw active trading in the extended session, after the world's biggest maker of semiconductor-manufacturing equipment said it would reduce its workforce by 10 percent. Its stock price hit $44.40, from its regular close at $44.87.

Elsewhere, the stock of McGraw Hill (NYSE:MHP - news) was steady at its closing price of $58.05 after it announced it would cut 5 percent of its workforce, and would absorb a pre-tax restructuring charge of $159 million.
