Stocks to watch Monday: Acuity, ServiceNow

6/30/12 7:01 AM ET (MarketWatch)

CHICAGO (MarketWatch) -- Stocks that could see active trading on Monday include Acuity Brands, ServiceNow, and AB InBev.

Acuity Brands (AYI) is set to release its third-quarter earnings on Monday. The lighting-equipment company is expected to earn 79 cents a share on revenue $492 million, according to a survey of analysts taken by FactSet Research.

ServiceNow's (NOW) initial public offering contributed to Friday's tech-stock rally. Among the first tech companies to go public after Facebook's IPO fell flat, shares gained 37% on Friday and may well see active trading on Monday as the tech market continues to buzz.

Research In Motion(RIMM) may also see active trading in the tech market, though it has so far missed out on the tech rally. It reported a loss of $518 million in its first fiscal quarter Thursday and a delay in the release of its next operating system, BlackBerry 10. Following an after-hours slump on Thursday, it lost 19% in trading on Friday.

Another to watch is AB InBev (0O1Z) , which gained 5% on Friday following its announcement of plans to buy the remainder of Crown Imports Ltd., a joint venture with Grupo Modelo SAB de CV(GPMCY) , a Mexican brewer, that it does not already own.
