Visa fails to wow the market, and Starbucks' profits are up huge. Here are four stocks making moves today.

The following video is from a very special Halloween edition of Investor Beat, in which host Chris Hill and Motley Fool analysts Tim Hanson and Matt Koppenheffer dissect the hardest-hitting investing stories of the day.

Visa's (V 0.26%) fourth-quarter revenue rose 9%, but profits fell 28%. Starbucks (SBUX 1.38%) posted some strong numbers: Fourth-quarter profits are up 34%, with global same-store sales up 7%. Shares of hhgregg (HGGGQ) took a hit, with second-quarter profit and revenue for the electronics retailer both lower than expected. And Carbo Ceramics (CRR) exploded today, with the boom in North American fracking driving third-quarter results up way above what analysts expected. In this segment, Tim and Matt take a look at four stocks making moves today.
