Meanwhile, in other tech news, chip firm Intel Corp (NASDAQ:INTC) dropped 2.25% to US$44.24 in extended trade after the chief executive Brian Krzanich responded to allegations about the company's chips.

An industry blog reported this week a patch for a security flaw in some of its chips would hamper performance.

The company boss said Google made Intel aware of the widespread security exploit previously and that the companies had been working together to fix it.

Meanwhile, Rite Aid Corp (NYSE:RAD) shares dropped 3.79% to US$2.03 after the drugstore chain beat third quarter estimates for earnings and revenue, after adjusting to account for discontinued operations.

Elsewhere and heading decidedly the other direction, Zumiez Inc (NASDAQ:ZUMZ) shares surged almost 17% to US$ 23.95 after the specialty clothing retailer reported a 7.9% increase in year-over-year same store sales for the month of December.
