Tintri plunges after first post-IPO earnings report
Tintri Inc. dropped more than 9% in late trading Thursday after the company's first earnings report since its initial public offering.

After adjusting for stock-based compensation, the company claimed a loss of 91 cents a share, up from a loss of $1.03 a share a year ago. Analysts on average expected adjusted losses of 98 cents a share on sales of $35.7 million, according to FactSet.
