Earnings live: Wayfair stock soars on Q2 beat, Tyson raises revenue forecast

Yahoo

4 days ago

Second quarter earnings season is in full swing, and the results have been largely positive so far, with more positive surprises than negative ones.
Companies had a lower bar to clear coming into the quarter, as analysts tempered their expectations amid President Trump's tariffs, stocks' lofty valuations, and uncertainty about the health of the US economy.
This week, investors will hear from Tyson (TSN), AMD (AMD), Snap (SNAP), McDonald's (MCD), Disney (DIS), Uber (UBER), Lyft (LYFT), Palantir (PLTR), and more when they report results.
Data from FactSet published Friday showed that with 66% of the index having reported results, analysts expect S&P 500 companies to report a 10.3% jump in earnings per share during the second quarter.
Heading into the quarter, analysts expected S&P 500 earnings to rise 5% in Q2, which would mark the slowest pace of earnings growth since the fourth quarter of 2023.
Here are the latest updates from corporate America.

How to think about Apple's quarter...
We knew the tariff hit was coming on Apple (AAPL). It came, and it was ugly.
The earnings call wasn't that eventful, mostly Tim Cook trying to soothe concerns that Apple will be a player in AI. I did like Apple was another tech player calling out an acceleration in their cloud business (similar to Microsoft (MSFT) and Alphabet (GOOGL).
Overall, I like how the Evercore ISI summed things up this evening:
"Apple delivered a better than expected quarter and the services growth and commentary around limited impact from the Epic ruling will chip away at part of the services bear case. Stock likely remains relatively range bound as we await the more impactful ruling on the Google revenue sharing deal."

"Strategy has achieved a year-to-date BTC Yield of 25%, meeting our full year target well ahead of our initial timeline," the company said.
