Security Firm Sourcefire To Post Q3 After Sandy Delay

Sourcefire’s (FIRE) third-quarter earnings report, delayed by Hurricane Sandy until Thursday morning, will hit the market at a choppy time for tech security stocks. That’s especially true for network security stocks like Sourcefire.

With the S&P 500 index flat from Friday, IBD’s Computer Software-Security industry group is down 2% as of Wednesday afternoon pre-close. Markets were shuttered Monday and Tuesday due to the storm, and several companies rescheduled quarterly earnings reports.
