Deltek Inc. (Nasdaq:PROJ), 3D Systems Corp. (Nasdaq:TDSC) and Cheniere Energy Inc. (Nasdaq:LNG) are among the new 52-week lows in Friday's trading among companies with market capitalizations under $750 million.

Primedia Inc. (Nasdaq:PRM), Community Bancorp (Nasdaq:CBON) and Orexigen Therapeutics Inc. (Nasdaq:OREX) are also among the new 52-week lows.

Here are the new 52-week lows among small caps:

Small-cap stocks are expected to open slightly lower Tuesday, in line with mild declines in after-hours trading. The Russell 2000 (NYSE:IWM) was down about 0.3% overnight, which would translate to a cash opening near 716. Look for initial support for the Russell this morning at 714, then at 709 and 705. On the upside, resistance remains near 724, then at 731.

The market’s pullback Tuesday was confined to an inside session move, and was consistent with a mild overbought correction. As long as the market doesn’t sink through 709, it won’t endanger the advance from late last week.

Stock indices around the world were narrowly mixed overnight, with Japan’s Nikkei down 1%, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng up 0.8% and Europe markets slightly mixed depending on the nation. The U.S. dollar was flat to soft overnight, crude oil remained bid amid strife in producing country Nigeria, a refinery strike in Scotland . . .

Community Bancorp (Nasdaq: CBON) shares are up after the bank holding company recorded third-quarter net income of $5.5 million, or $0.53 per share, below analyst estimates of $0.55 per share but 80.9% above $3.1 million, or $0.41 per share, a year earlier. The Las Vegas-based company’s net interest income was $17.7 million, above analyst estimates of $19.4 million and compared with $10.77 million during the same period of 2006.

“Recognizing the changing economic environment in the markets in which we operate, the company's performance continues to be encouraging,” CEO Edward Jamison said in a statement. “Earnings were impacted by $.02 per share by a one-time charge of $377,000 for placement fees associated with the payoff of trust-preferred securities.”

Total interest expense during the quarter rose to $15.03 million, from $8.39 million a year earlier.

In afternoon trading, CBON shares are up 5.04%, or $0.99, at $20.63. Over the last 52 weeks, shares have ranged from $19.50 to $33.77.
