Here’s a look at some of the companies the Yahoo Finance team will be watching for you.

Barclays (BCS) tops our list. The bank is more than doubling its dividend in a effort to appease investors frustrated with the company’s performance. The dividend hike comes despite the fact that the UK bank hasn’t turned a profit for years and recently took a major hit due to President Trump’s tax overhaul.

Roku (ROKU) is taking a beating this morning thanks to growth concerns. The streaming service’s stock tanked over 20% in after hours trader after forecasting first-quarter revenue will fall short of estimates. Despite the bad news, for its fourth quarter, Roku reported an unexpected profit and revenue rose 28%.

Pandora (P) is singing a happy tune this morning. The stock climbed after the music streamer beat on fourth quarter revenue. It also added more subscribers, noting strong performance of its Pandora Premium and Plus services.

Ford’s (F) C-suite is getting a shake-up. The car maker’s North American president Raj Nair left the company immediately after a probe found Nair’s behavior was “inconsistent with the company’s code of conduct.” Ford did not reveal what type of behavior prompted the move.
