Engineering and construction services provider Fluor Corporation ( FLR ) late Thursday posted disappointing earnings numbers and issued weak 2013 guidance, sending its shares lower in aftermarket trading.

The Irving, TX-based company reported third quarter net income of $144.6 million, or 86 cents per share, compared with $135.4 million, or 78 cents per share, in the year-ago period.

Flour shares fell $2.56, or -4.4%, in premarket trading Friday.
