Gainers

FreightCar America Inc. (Nasdaq: RAIL +2.55%) rose 10% after the firm said Tuesday that its first-quarter profit came in at about $10 million, or 81 cents, versus a $1.3 million, or 11 cents a share, loss a year ago.

GTX Inc. (Nasdaq: GTXI +14.52%) rose 15% after it said the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has lifted its hold on clinical trials for the potential advanced prostate cancer and hormonal treatment Capesaris.

Shares of Fossil Inc. (Nasdaq: FOSL -32.93%) fell more than 29% after the firm said its first-quarter earnings rose 4.2%, but a softening European economy contributed to the watch and fashion-accessories retailer’s slower-than-expected sales growth.

The company also pared back its 2012 sales projections for its key robotic arm systems to a range of 52 to 58, down from its earlier forecast of 56 to 62 systems.
