What Happened:

Shares of satellite radio and media company Sirius XM (NASDAQ:SIRI) fell 6% in the afternoon session after the company reported first quarter result: Its core subscribers churned and its full-year revenue guidance fell short of Wall Street's estimate. On the other hand, Sirius XM slightly topped analysts' revenue expectations during the quarter, thanks to better-than-expected advertising revenue. Its full-year EBITDA and free cash flow guidance were in line. Overall, this was a mixed quarter for Sirius XM.
