Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Inc. (Nasdaq: GMCR) shares rallied 18.2 percent to $38.96, on volumes of 4.6 million, more than double its usual share average of 2.1 million, after the maker of Keurig brewers offered a better-than-expected second-quarter profit forecast late Wednesday.

Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F) did brisk volume at the outset Thursday, trading in 20.2 million shares, making headway on an all-day average of 95.1 million. Share prices faded, though, 1.8 percent to $15.12, on news the carmaker had opened its 600th Quick Lane network store.

Intersil Corp. (Nasdaq: ISIL) shares fell 11 percent to $13.45, on volume of 3.8 million, outdistancing its average of 2.2 million, after the semiconductor company said it expects to post a first-quarter profit below consensus estimates.
