Check out which companies are making headlines before the bell:

Lululemon—The apparel retailer beat estimates by 5 cents with quarterly profit of 78 cents per share, with revenue essentially in line and same-store sales increasing by five percent. However, Lululemon's forecast for the current quarter is short of Street estimates.

SanDisk—The memory chip maker cut its revenue outlook for its fiscal first quarter to about $1.3 billion from the prior forecast of $1.4 billion to $1.45 billion. SanDisk cites lower than expected sales and lower pricing for some products, among other factors.

ConAgra—The food producer beat estimates by seven cents with quarterly profit of 59 cents per share, with revenue and its full-year forecast also above estimates. ConAgra did note that its private brands business was not performing up to expectations.

Winnebago—The recreational vehicle maker missed estimates by 8 cents with quarterly profit of 30 cents per share, with revenue also well below forecasts. The company said it was hurt by labor-related constraints and higher operating expenses, although it also said it was seeing its profit margins improve and expects positive cash flow during the second half of the year.
