Sigma Designs, Inc. (NASDAQ:SIGM) plunged 12.51% to $10.07 after posted quarterly results that missed Wall Street expectations due to lower IPTV demand,.

The company posted third-quarter net loss of $2.3 million, or 9 cents per share, compared with a net profit of $3.7 million, or 14 cents per share, a year earlier.

Excluding items, the company posted earnings of 9 cents a share. Revenue fell 24 percent to $35.5 million.

Analysts expected earnings of 19 cents a share, excluding exceptional items, on revenue of $46 million, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
