The auto parts supplier said it expects revenue to drop by $500 million in the third quarter has established the company as a Hollywood power bro- ker and Wall Street darling. The financial results announced Monday topped analyst forecasts. But man- agement offered a cautious because of the earthquake in Japan. The Dow Jones industri- al average lost 26.11 points, or 0.2 percent, to close at 12,479.88. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index lost 2.13, or 0.2 percent, to 1,335.25. The Nasdaq composite edged up 5.72 points, or 0.2 percent, to 2,825.88. Worries about rising prices and a weak dollar helped push up precious metals.

The performance was 4 cents per share above the average estimate among analysts surveyed by Fact- ounce. Monday was light on economic data. The Com- merce Department reported that sales of new homes rose more than expected in March to 300,000. That’s still less than half of the 700,000-a-year pace that economists consider healthy. More than three shares rose for every four that fell on the New York Stock Exchange. Trading volume was 2.9 billion shares.

The company, which is based in Los Gatos, ended March with 23.6 million subscribers in the U.S. and Canada, up from 20 million at the end of 2010.
